Host Brad Kearns talks about the recent excitement of the new Keto Reset Instant Pot Cookbook and upcoming Keto Reset Diet Cookbook. Brad talks about his recent intuitive and varied dietary approach, featuring alternatively prolonged morning fasts as well as a morning super nutrition green smoothie. Brad’s trying to start his digestive circadian rhythm for high energy mornings, and also get an abundance of concentrated nutrition with the greens and the specialized performance/recovery agents in the smoothie. Fasted mornings deliver the often-detailed benefits of optimized fat burning and metabolic function, including autophagy—the natural cellular detoxification process. The smoothie helps with athletic performance and recovery and overall nutritional quality of my diet. Brad encourages you to experiment with different eating strategies and assess results, and avoid a stressful, regimented approach that often pervades the keto scene because the dietary guidelines are so distinct. 

The tricky thing about fiber is that it’s not a monolith. There are dozens of varieties. Some of them perform similar functions in the body, but others have extremely unique effects. Some rend your colonic lining to stimulate lubrication. Some turn into gelatinous slurries. But we can’t talk about fiber without understanding that the word describes a variety of compounds. As such, anyone making declarative statements about “fiber” without differentiating between the different types and their effects isn’t being accurate (except for me in that exact sentence).

This leads to a lot of confusion. People make blanket statements that might be true for some types of fibers and incorrect for others.
