I lost 80 lbs by watching this 1 number (not calories)


Hey Reader,

I spent a decade trying to lose weight by counting calories. It never stuck.

What finally worked started in Dr. Martinez's office at 280 lbs, when he told me my insulin levels were dangerously high, and climbing.

That sentence is what saved me. It was also lucky, because most doctors don't actually test fasting insulin.

The standard blood panel runs A1c or fasting glucose. Those are useful, but they only flag the problem years later, after the damage is well underway. Your fasting insulin can be climbing silently for a decade while A1c still reads "normal." By the time A1c finally moves, you're already deep into insulin resistance.

I got the rare version of the test. Most people don't.

In the book I walk through why fasting insulin matters, what to ask your doctor for, what numbers actually mean something, and what to do if your insulin is climbing (which, statistically, it probably is).

Speaking of the book, the Kindle Countdown Deal is running this week. Fix Your Insulin is $0.99 right now (back to $2.99 once the deal ends).

Is your health worth less than a dollar? Because that's the price this week.

A few more things you'll find inside that aren't in the Blueprint:

  • The seven hacks I used to lose 80 lbs and keep it off for a decade
  • Why I haven't counted a calorie in 10 years and didn't gain it back
  • The three-shelf fridge layout that made eating well feel automatic
  • The 80/20 rule that lets you have pizza, wine, and birthday cake without losing progress

It's currently #1 Amazon Bestseller in both Low Carb Diets and Diabetes, if that helps.

That's it. Back to your day.
