Eat Bacon, Don’t Jog

This audiobook-style summary explores a low-carb, higher-fat approach to eating that aims to feel more sustainable than traditional low-calorie dieting. Instead of relying on constant restraint and willpower, it explains how carbohydrates affect blood sugar and insulin, and why changing that relationship may support weight loss and steadier energy.

Across the chapters, you’ll hear practical guidance on managing carbs, being mindful with protein, choosing fats wisely, and building an exercise routine that supports strength. You’ll also learn about digestion, the gut microbiome, and simple ways to track blood sugar and ketones if testing feels helpful. The overall tone is clear: make changes that fit real life, and let the body do what it’s designed to do.

• People who feel stuck on traditional low-calorie dieting and want an alternative framework focused on satiety and sustainability
• Listeners curious about low-carb approaches, including keto-style eating, who want the “why” explained in simple terms
• Anyone who wants practical food lists, everyday meal ideas, and gentle lifestyle reminders without perfectionism
