Hello, and welcome back to “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show With Jimmy Moore” podcast as we continue our “Fact-Filled February” with a look at the importance of fats (also known as lipids) to the human diet.

While most of the “experts” and the media still erroneously fixate on the role of fat in the obesity epidemic, the fact of the matter is fat has very little to do with why we are fat.

In Episode 24, Jimmy presents some interesting truths direct from the science lab showing what really happens to blood levels of saturated fats when the consumption of Omega-rich fats goes up or down. Prepare for a BIG surprise!

Greeting fellow low-carbers! Welcome to your favorite health podcast featuring news and views about the low-carb lifestyle–it’s “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore!” We’re so glad you could join us again this week as we dive right into more truth and evidence in favor of low-carb living.

In Episode 23 today, Jimmy continues on with his “Fact-Filled February” by looking at two studies showing the effects of a low-carb/high protein diet on the development and maintenance of muscle mass. Although antagonists of livin’ la vida low-carb believe these diets cause you to lose muscle and that you shouldn’t exercise or lift weights when you are eating this way, the research just doesn’t bear that ridiculous theory out! Leave it to our host Jimmy Moore to spill the beans why!

Whether you’re a beefy bodybuilder or even a stay-at-home mom (or both–what a visual!), you won’t want to miss today’s exciting show featuring conclusions by the researchers which may just surprise you about livin’ la vida low-carb! Listen up!
