Why Full Is Not Enough

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. A full stomach is not always a satisfied one. Modern food can deliver abundant energy while leaving appetite unresolved and important nutritional questions unanswered. This evidence-led investigation follows the chain from food environment to repeated eating, metabolic dysfunction, diagnosis, and treatment. Drawing on controlled feeding trials, population research, historical records, medical guidelines, and his own experience living with type 2 diabetes, David Nauta examines: Why satiation and satiety are not the same How food form, protein, nutrient density, texture, and eating rate can influence intake Why obesity and diagnosed diabetes accelerated when they did How committees turn continuous risk into diagnostic thresholds What medications can change—and what they may leave unfinished How personal results should be judged when some measurements improve while other risks remain Nauta applies the same skepticism to food-industry claims, medical systems, diet movements, and his own story. His movement from keto toward carnivore is presented as one person’s experience—not a universal prescription—and the evidence that complicates the success remains visible Readers will find no miracle-diet promise or argument against medicine. They will find a careful, accessible examination of ultra-processed food, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, appetite, and metabolic health.
