It's so much more complex than that. I noticed you mentioned insulin which, you know, I used to talk a lot about, believe it or not, insulin resistance... there's a lot of addressing that built into the program in a way that's just um super basic. People get freaked out by eating more often throughout the program which we suggest in the beginning but like their issue probably more with their insulin is overeating these large portions, so going long periods of time without eating and then when they do eat overeating and then, you know, maybe not having a lot of sugar but when they do have sugar having a lot of sugar. Like, and that really just, I don't think people realize how some of their choices that they're making are stressing their body out. - Gina Livy
