Hello and welcome back to the longest-running and most respected low-carb podcast available today, “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show With Jimmy Moore!”

In today’s episode, Jimmy talks with Christin Sherburne, former cover-girl for Heidi Diaz’s Kimkins diet scheme that hit the big time last year after landing on the cover of Woman’s World magazine. Besides appearing on the cover of that issue of the popular national women’s magazine in support of “Kimmer’s” diet plan, Christin also worked directly for Heidi as the Kimkins PR representative for a few months.

But it was in the process of trying to defend the Kimkins diet and the obvious evasiveness in answering direct questions about the plan by Diaz/Kimmer that she realized there was no scientific basis or medical support for what is now commonly understood to be an extremely low-calorie fat-free, carb-free starvation diet. Amazingly, despite all of the public knowledge about how dangerously unhealthy this diet is and that the founder blatantly lied about losing 200 pounds when in fact she did not, there are still people deeply entrenched in this scam. Christin is hoping this podcast today will open the eyes of those who feel trapped into thinking Kimkins is their only way.

Listen in for Christin’s take on the current class action lawsuit against Heidi Diaz, how she came to grips with realizing that her job as the public relations spokesperson for Kimkins was a sham, and how driven she is to now make sure everyone knows about what Kimkins really is and contrasting that with what a healthy diet looks like. Whether you have been following the Kimkins saga or not, this is sure to be an insightful and informative interview that you’re gonna want to hear.

Disclaimer: Neither Jimmy Moore nor Christin Sherburne currently endorse the Kimkins diet. On the contrary, we recommend avoiding it like the plague.

Hello and welcome back for another in-depth look at the world of low-carb dieting at “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show With Jimmy Moore!” THANKS so much for listening!

In Episode 162, Jimmy shares his recent conversation with Charles Washington. Charles is not only a marathon runner and moderator at Jimmy’s Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Discussion forum, but he is also an ardent advocate for a ZERO-carb diet approach! Yowsers! And if you listen in closely to the enthusiasm in Charles’ voice as he talks about eating NO carbs while running half-marathons, he makes quite a compelling argument for eating basically meat and water only.

Listen in to hear Charles defend his choice to eschew all carbs as he dusts off some of the old research studies that Gary Taubes unearthed in his monster bestselling 2007 book release Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health (coming to paperback on September 23, 2008). Also hear a few choice words from Charles about low-carb author and blogger Dr. Mike Eades and his recent statements on calories, metabolic advantage and the concept of eating “too much fat.”.

Hello and welcome back for another fantastic episode of the coolest, cleanest, funnest and most inspiring low-carb podcast available today at any price, “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show With Jimmy Moore!”

In Episode 158, Jimmy finally managed to get Dana Carpender to give us a few moments of her very valuable time–which probably kept her from working on YET ANOTHER fantastic low-carb cookbook–to share her thoughts with all of us!

Not familiar with who Dana Carpender is? Well, long before Dr. Jonny Bowden wrote his great treatise on different low-carb approaches, Dana released How I Gave Up My Low-Fat Diet And Lost 40 Pounds. This amazing book detailed many of the different plans that were then available.

She then went on to produce a slew of fantastic low-carb cookbooks, a newsletter called Lowcarbezine, a syndicated newspaper column, and has JUST signed on to participate in Jimmy’s Low-Carb Cruise next January!

Listen in as she and Jimmy talk about some recent studies, the efficacy of the natural sweetener stevia, the value of sufficient calories on a low-carb diet, what to do with that terrible artificial sweetener aspartame (or NASTY-tame as Jimmy calls it!), and much, MUCH Moore!

Cindy Swanson, a Christian broadcaster from Illinois, was recently diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. After dealing with her sadness, she was inspired to “take the bull by the horns” and vigorously fight back against her insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
