Greetings low-carbers! Welcome to the 47th episode of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore!” We wouldn’t be here without you, so THANKS for joining us again for another exciting excursion into low-carb living!!

We’re so glad you are all here to support us, and we hope you know that our host Jimmy (and the rest of our staff) are here to help support YOU any way that we can. In fact that is the very theme of today’s episode–SUPPORT. More specifically, support and accountability while you are losing weight.

In Episode 47, Jimmy discusses the importance of having someone “on your team” to support you through your weight loss, whether it’s a spouse (like Jimmy’s wonderful wife, Christine), an online buddy at your favorite weight loss forum, or even your buddy at the gym.

In fact, the more support you have the merrier! It really can make all the difference in the world between your eventual weight loss success and failure. Listen in today to hear Jimmy’s thoughts on this subject!

Hello and welcome to Episode 45 of the Internet’s premiere low-carb podcast show–it’s “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore.”

In today’s episode, Jimmy looks at the strange case of CHOICE Magazine, who want to tell you why they think low-carbers are wasting money on bad products AND why they think the healthy low-carb lifestyle is not a healthy long-term diet anyway! This article makes a few points that Jimmy agrees with, but they really want to “throw the baby out with the bathwater!”

Have no fear, though, our host Jimmy Moore is here to set the record straight on how to tell a good low-carb product from a sham! To hear the good word, click the play button above!

Hello and welcome once again to the Internet’s premier low-carb podcast–“The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore!” We are the show that’s going to help hook you up with free songs from the iTunes Music Store. Read on for more details!

Sometimes opponents of the healthy low-carb lifestyle will use the phrase “fad diet” to disparage our chosen method of weight loss and improved health. Hmm, a fad that has been going strong for at least well over a hundred years, but more likely much longer than that if you trace it back to our original ancestors? I don’t THINK so!

Now, if you are interested in comparing the difference between low-carbing and some real fad diet plans, then listen in to Episode 44 as Jimmy takes a poke at popular oddball diets from the past (The Scarsdale Diet, for instance) and the present (The Cabbage Soup Diet).

DID SOMEBODY SAY FREE ITUNES?: Would you like some FREE MUSIC? Listen in for a way you can earn free songs from the iTunes music store, just for helping a diet research study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Answer a few simple questions and you will get a FREE iTunes gift card. Cool!

Welcome to another great installment of the Internet’s hottest low-carb podcast–it’s “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore!”

In Episode 42, we learn how the smell of ketones on your breath can lead to an ironic twist of legal woes if you operate heavy machinery such as an airplane or perhaps even an automobile! SAY WHAT??

You’ll hear Jimmy share a story from England that shows how a breathalizer can interpret ketones as a sign of alcohol ingestion. This is not in theory–this is documented to have happened and HAS resulted in arrests!

Listen to the podcast and find out how you can best protect yourself from an erroneous arrest or even the loss of your job for being “drunk” because you are livin’ la vida low-carb.

On a different note, Dreamfields pasta is a low-carber’s dream when it comes to satisfying your carby urges! Michelle Koen’s Beef Stroganoff is great when served over Dreamfields pasta! Mmm mmm good!
