In this episode, we pull apart two of the biggest nutritional extremes: strict keto and the old-school Food Pyramid.

Keto might help you lose weight fast, but what happens when your energy tanks, your hormones crash, and your cravings hit like a freight train? And the Food Pyramid? It’s a grain-worshipping relic shaped more by politics than human biology.

We’ll break down:

• Why keto works short-term — but often backfires

• What the Food Pyramid got disastrously wrong

• How both miss the mark on protein, fat, and real satiety

• The truth about ancient diets vs. modern macros

• And how to build meals that actually work with your body

This episode is your reminder: You don’t need a trend. You need alignment.

If you’ve ever thought, “What’s wrong with me?” — this episode is for you.

We’re unpacking Chapter 1 of Carbs as a Condiment to show you that your cravings, fatigue, weight gain, and “lack of willpower” aren’t signs of failure. They’re signs of your body doing exactly what it was built to do in a world that’s completely mismatched with your biology.

You’ll learn:

• Why your body still runs on 50,000-year-old survival software

• How food is engineered to override your brain

• Why guilt, restriction, and shame only backfire

• What your body actually wants — and what’s getting in the way

• 5 practical steps to start working with your biology, not against it

This is the mindset shift that sets the stage for everything else.

Welcome to the very first episode of Bye Keto! — your official introduction to the book Carbs as a Condiment and the story behind it.

In this episode, you’ll meet me, Jay Galvan — the author — and hear why I had to write this book in the first place. We’ll walk through the core idea that changed everything for me: your body isn’t broken… it’s just reacting to a broken food system.

You’ll get a preview of the key themes in the book:

• Why willpower isn’t the problem

• How processed foods hijack your biology

• Why restrictive diets often backfire

• A smarter way to think about carbs (they’re not the enemy — just not the centerpiece)

• And a simple 4-step meal strategy that actually works in real life

This isn’t just another diet podcast — it’s the starting point for a full-on mindset shift. One that helps you stop fighting your body and finally start working with it.
