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!
