Episode notes
Hunger Transforms After Dietary Change
- Many people who follow Dr. William Davis's programs lose the gnawing, desperate hunger they previously experienced every few hours.
- Hunger changes to a gentle restlessness or disappears, allowing long intervals between meals.
Wheat Peptides Stimulate Appetite
- Gliadin-derived opioid peptides from wheat and grains cross into the brain and stimulate opioid receptors, increasing appetite by hundreds of calories daily.
- These peptides can drive extreme food obsession and binge behaviors in susceptible people.
Limit Net Carbs To 15g Per Meal
- Limit net carbs to no more than 15 grams per meal to avoid large blood glucose and insulin swings that provoke hypoglycemia-driven hunger.
- Eliminate amylopectin A from wheat and grains to prevent exaggerated post-meal glucose spikes.
