Billy Craig is a "Health & Nutritional Consultant who is also trained as Personal Trainer, Advanced Metabolic Typing Advisor, Massage Therapist, C.H.E.K. Practicioner, and Health Practicioner". And - he has the Asperger Syndrome. But that is not the topic here, it is more about is diet (or rather no diet) approach which is similar to Ray Peat or other Ex-Paleo followers like Matt Stone or Danny Roddy. His main recommendation is: EAT THE FOOD.
Diets lower your metabolism and you gain weight, besides being malnourished.
He is also not a fan of eating low glycemic.
His views:
- insuline reduces blood sugar and cortisol raises blood sugar
- carbs raise insuline and lower cortisol
- ergo: carbs cannot be the cause for high blood sugar/diabetes
- when too little glucose (when eating too little or low carb), then cortisol "produces" glucose, for example from the muscle tissue. Which creates stress and loss of muscle mass
- glycagon, cortisol, adrenaline, growth hormone and thyroid tend to increase the blood sugar, but it is common to misinterpret hyperglycemia as "diabetes", without measuring any of these factors (this one is by Ray Peat actually)
He is writing a book currently about his experiments with raising his calorie intake and losing weight.
