Dr. Dean Ornish seeks to “get past low-carb vs. low-fat.”

Hello and welcome back to the world’s number one low-carb podcast, “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show With Jimmy Moore!” This week and next we will be presenting Jimmy’s four-part interview with the most famous low-fat diet icon in the world today Dr. Dean Ornish.

Hello and welcome to the world’s hottest low-carb podcast, “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore!”

In today’s show, our host Jimmy Moore looks at the latest research from the UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) asserting that those who are eating an unhealthy diet tend to eat the same kinds of foods without regard to their economic status. That’s right, rich and poor alike are eating the exact same sugary, breaded-and-fried crud. This completely flies in the face of the popular assumptions that poverty has a unique effect in creating poor dietary habits or conversely that obesity is caused by “affluenza.”

What’s Jimmy’s take away message on this? Simply that eating poorly is a lifestyle choice made by individuals–exactly the same as eating healthy foods is. Jimmy’s made his choice to start livin’ la vida low-carb–so what’s yours? Let us know in the comments section and you will become eligible to win one of three copies of the e-book version of Jimmy’s debut book Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb: My Journey From Flabby Fat to Sensationally Skinny in One Year.

PLEASE NOTE: Our next episode will be on Tuesday, February 19. We are taking the 18th off for President’s Day!

Next, Jimmy presents his recent interview with low-carb weight loss success story Phill Novak. Phill lost 192 pounds on his own homemade version of a low-carb diet with a regular exercise routine. Phill became a beloved icon for weight loss after he was profiled on CNN’s Fit Nation, but the story failed to get into what Phill actually ate to lose all the weight. Never fear, Jimmy Moore is here to get to the bottom of the rest of the story!

In the interview, Phill reveals his exercise regimen, the simplicity of his diet, how he plans his meals, and the fact that he reads Jimmy’s blog EVERY DAY! We liked Phill before, but we REALLY like him now.

Could this be the English teacher who dissed Jimmy in the 8th Grade?

Hello and welcome to the Internet’s longest-running and best-loved low-carb podcast, “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show With Jimmy Moore!”

When taking a journey to lose weight and get healthy, it is sadly common to run into negative people with their “stinkin’ thinkin’” who think they know what YOU need and don’t need to do it. You know the ones–those people who undermine your self-confidence by insinuating or even saying straight out that you will NOT succeed, or worse yet, that you CANNOT succeed. How many would-be weight loss success stories have been discouraged from even trying before they even start.

Well, our host Jimmy had a personal life experience very much like that when he was in the 8th grade and he’d like to share an awesome story of how rebelling against that bad advice has lead to the rewarding career he enjoys today! It’s an inspiring behind-the-scenes story of that beloved man who lost 180 pounds in 2004 who was likely prepared for anything that came his way by this event that happened over two decades ago.
