As modern humans devour high-carbohydrate breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, drink sugary drinks, and indulge in sugary snacks, insulin has to be pumped continuously to deal with the glucose burden of these foods. Insulin is a storage hormone, and the standard American eating pattern pushes us into round-the-clock fat storage mode. In contrast, low insulin levels cause the counter-regulatory hormone glucagon to release stored nutrients into the bloodstream, where they are burned for energy. "Three full meals a day" is a thoroughly modern concept that is completely different from our evolutionary experience as hunter-gatherers in chaos and then fat burners in times of fullness and hunger.
The "two meals a day" approach will bring you back to the rhythm of fullness and hunger, keeping you in step with your genetic predisposition to maintain health. This diet modification can save your life, because when you overproduce insulin for a long time (a condition called hyperinsulinemia), you will eventually enter the disease state of insulin resistance. Because of chronic overproduction of insulin, the cells in your body become less and less sensitive to the messages that insulin sends and no longer receive the nutrients that insulin delivers to their doorstep. Cell hotels put up "full" signs one after another, causing a large amount of glucose to accumulate in the blood. This is the prelude to the imminent disaster. The liver doesn't detect your blood sugar levels, and it even relies on signals from insulin to know when to release more glucose into the bloodstream. Sensing elevated insulin levels in the blood, the liver is tricked into releasing more glucose in an futile attempt to bring you back into homeostasis. Too much insulin and glucose in the blood can put you in a decades-long disease pattern. Many medical experts agree that insulin resistance is the number one health crisis facing humanity worldwide today.
