"Go Hybrid. Humans are designed to run on both fat and carbs for fuel. So use them both."
Quote:
By switching between a high fat phase – which damps down mTOR and growth and turns on autophagy – and a slow carb phase – which turns mTOR back on promoting healthy growth and repair – you get the best of both worlds and allow insulin, IGF-1 (insulin growth factor 1) and mTOR to orchestrate all of the growth processes you need to thrive.

Sounds like my kind of book; I pre-ordered it. Patrick Holford's book on optimum nutrition for the brain was very helpful to me at one time. And I like the idea of being metabolically flexible.
