AmyB feels betrayed by Kimmer and wants you to know why!

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

Today, our host Jimmy has an intriguing interview with blogger AmyB, a former (twice banned!) member of the fraudulent Kimkins diet web site. Amy was a hold-out at the site long after many saw the handwriting on the wall–that Heidi Diaz, aka “Kimmer”, was a fraud. Eventually, though, there came a breaking point and Amy couldn’t hold her tongue any longer.

A brief online mention of a haircare product and a mere mention of the name of someone we all know resulted in a PermaBan for AmyB. Listen in to Episode 123 to hear AmyB’s story of fraud, self-delusion, victimization and redemption. This is yet another dagger in the heart of Heidi Diaz and her ruthless Kimkins diet scam!

Mark Schlereth’s weight change at various points in his career

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

In Episode 120, our host Jimmy was privileged to have the opportunity to interview a highly versatile renaissance man named Mark Schlereth. Mark began his professional life as one of the most feared beefy 300-pound offensive lineman in the NFL where strict weight requirements forced him to pack on as many pounds as he possibly could–or else risk some rather heavy fines! After a highly successful career playing for the Washington Redskins and the Denver Broncos for 12 seasons and winning 3 momentous Super Bowl rings, he has since moved on to a new phase in his life where his family and new television career have taken off.

Currently Mark is an integral part of the image-conscious world of television, including gigs at ESPN as a regular football commentator and as the hunky detective Roc Hoover on the soap opera “The Guiding Light.” Yes, it’s an eclectic way to make a living, but Mark Schlereth is eating it up right now along with spending quality time with his family.

However, unlike the National Football League, television networks DON’T pay you to be overweight! How was Mark able to shed the pounds after his professional playing days and how does he stay so fit and trim today? Listen in to today’s show to hear him discuss the rather unique carb-watching strategy he employs as well as an overview of his lightning-fast workout routine!

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

In today’s episode, our host Jimmy takes a look at the marketing juggernaut of fast food giant McDonald’s and the latest research on their mega-media-indoctrination of children. What kind of power does this corporation have over our kids? Try this: a McDonald’s logo makes kids think that even carrots taste better–and Mickey D’s doesn’t even sell carrots!

Are your kids fast food zombies? Are major corporations unscrupulously marketing HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) and other high-glycemic garbage foods to the youngest of our youngsters? Share your opinion in the comments section.

Listen in for all this and much, much Moore in Episode 119!

Dr. Ornish, level 6 Elven cleric, as he appears in the computer game “Journey To Wild Divine: Wisdom Quest“

Hello and welcome back to the world’s number one low-carb podcast, “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show With Jimmy Moore!” Today we present the conclusion of our host Jimmy’s interview with low-fat diet icon Dr. Dean Ornish, who we thank for his cooperation and bravery for facing a fairly–and perhaps rightfully so–mistrustful audience.

Wrapping it all up in Episode 118, Jimmy continues his debate with Dr. Ornish over his latest book, The Spectrum: A Scientifically Proven Program to Feel Better, Live Longer, Lose Weight, and Gain Health. Dr. Ornish claims he is trying to “get past” the debate over low-carb versus low-fat. Is this a case of “Let’s stop arguing and just agree that I’m right?” YOU be the judge!

Jimmy says that while he and Dr. Ornish vehemently disagree on some fairly basic principles, they did find some areas of common ground and a level of mutual respect. Let us know what you think about this interview segment in the show notes below!

From the video “Love and Survival with Dr. Dean Ornish”

Hello and welcome back to the world’s leading low-carb podcast show, “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show With Jimmy Moore!” This week we will be presenting Parts 3 and 4 of Jimmy’s exclusive interview with a man who built his career as a low-fat maven, but is now trying to distance himself from that title–Dr. Dean Ornish.

Today, in Part 3, our host Jimmy continues his debate with Dr. Ornish as they discuss his new book, The Spectrum: A Scientifically Proven Program to Feel Better, Live Longer, Lose Weight, and Gain Health. Is it really a break from low-carb versus low-fat (as Dr. Ornish wants you to believe) or is it the “same-old-same-old” wrapped up in a new cover? Listen in as our Jimmy and Dr. Ornish discuss low-glycemic fruits and non-starchy vegetables and how pervasive sodium intolerance really is. All this and Moore in Episode 117!

Let us know what you think about this interview segment in the show notes below! The discussions have been incredible so far in the rest of the interview segments, so keep it going here. THANKS for listening!
