Trim Healthy Mama info:

Pearl and Serene, the sisters-authors of THM touched on intermittent fasting’s value in the original book (plan & cookbook https://amzn.to/3mOs0qB - affiliate) on pgs. 440-442; there is a reference to the JUDD diet (JUDD is an abbreviation of The Johnson Up Day Down Day Diet & Lifestyle - a form of fasting and feasting), and they mention SIRT1, which helps reduce insulin resistance, and “saves lean muscle while promoting a state where fat is gobbled up.”

Episode #16 (https://apple.co/3dSaHki) THM podcast, “Get Your Blood Sugar Under Control”, Serene says, “And if you’re doing THM and somebody asks you, so what’s this all about? The take home point is stabilising your blood-sugar. So that’s the take home point of the whole thing, the whole 650 jolly-paged [original] book, [https://amzn.to/3mOs0qB (affiliate)]. That’s what we were trying to get across.” Pearl added, “It’s the foundation for health; it affects all your hormones, because it affects insulin, which is your master hormone. You see, blood sugar, high blood sugar, creates high amounts of insulin in your body, and insulin affects every single hormone, other hormones in your body.” Pearl answered how one KNOWS one’s blood sugar, during Episode #147 (https://apple.co/3gi7uNs) at mark 10min48sec; she used a meter. Entire timestamp: 8:30min-19:45min.
