Today, Jimmy brings you a special interview with Eric Morrison, a man of both prodigious brains and brawn!

Eric is a body builder and trainer who wholly endorses the low-carb way of life as he transforms the bodies of his clients from soft-and-squishy to Herculean while turning his nose up at the carbo-loading typically propounded by many other body builders.

Listen in as Jimmy and Eric talk about Insulin Resistance and its effect on the human body, the modern obsession with caloric restriction, and much, much Moore!

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!

Atkins from 1974 until his untimely death five years ago. If anyone knows what the Atkins diet is REALLY all about, then it’s Jackie. And you can hear it in her voice as she answers these questions from real people just like you. She shares her own unique insights from 34 years of working in the field of controlled-carb healthcare!

Guess what? Jackie has been so overwhelmed (in a good way!) by the positive response you have given her about her podcast appearance that she has agreed to do a regular segment on “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show With Jimmy Moore” just to answer your questions about the Atkins diet, the impact it can have on your health, and whatever else is bugging you about low-carb. WOW, how about that?! Go ahead and start sending me your questions via voicemail by calling (206) 202-6516. Then we’ll have Jackie answer them in an future podcast.

Special thanks to Jackie Eberstein for this fabulous two-part interview this week and for her commitment to continuing to answer your questions about livin’ la vida low-carb. You can really tell she cares about people in much the same way that Dr. Atkins did. Aren’t you glad he ended up HIRING Jackie after she told him off during the job interview in 1974?
