I took Iodoral for iodine. I got it from " The Doctor as Teacher " guy in

Arizona, Dr. Garrett .

The organs in this sense are the endocrine organs: liver, pancreas, and

hypothalmus. They work together to keep blood sugar stable and to sense levels

of incoming energy versus needed energy.

Well this is my understanding. Mind you it is from the internet and the

discussion groups. I am only now ordering the actual Optimal Diet book from

Poland.

But, the way I understand it, the Kwasniewski diet uses just enough protein for

structure replacement, but no extra protein for energy. This is because it takes

more work by the liver to convert protein into glucose. Why do all that when

starches are so simple.

Along with that, there are dietary starches advised to provide glucose without

making it from protein or stored fat. Both processes are more complicated

metabolically than simply using carbs. But not too many carbs - that would

inhibit the metabolism of fat-burning by reducing fat-burning enzymes and such.

Both protein and carbs elicit a hormonal response from the pancreas and liver.

When these are kept at minimum levels, those organs have less to do.

The rest of the diet comes from fat which is hormonally neutral.

Also, because most people have a hard time replacing calories with fat, there is

a natural calorie reduction that occurs without hunger. About 25% he says

compared to a carb-heavy diet (over 200 g carbs a day for me).
