Comments on: Monica Reinagel: An Interview With A Low-Carb Friendly Nutritionist Part 1 of 2 (Episode 121) http://www.thelivinlowcarbshow.com/interview-low-carb-friendly-nutritionist-monica-reinagel-part-1-of-2-episode-121/ With Jimmy Moore Thu, 24 Jul 2008 01:30:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Jimmy Moore http://www.thelivinlowcarbshow.com/interview-low-carb-friendly-nutritionist-monica-reinagel-part-1-of-2-episode-121/#comment-27159 Tue, 18 Mar 2008 19:04:13 +0000 http://www.thelivinlowcarbshow.com/interview-low-carb-friendly-nutritionist-monica-reinagel-part-1-of-2-episode-121/#comment-27159 That's right Carl! That's one thing that seems to be a recurring theme in a lot of these interviews with people who don't possess a full understanding of livin' la vida low-carb--they think our fiber and veggie intake in minimal. Oh quite contraire! Like you, I eat healthier than I EVER did before that dastardly Atkins diet. It's the best thing I could have ever done for my health. THANKS for listening! That’s right Carl!

I agree with a lot of what was said but just because you are on a low carb diet doesn't mean that you are not eating nutritionally dense vegetables and also getting fiber in your diet. I know that on the Atkins diet for me the opposite is true. I eat salads, green leafy vegetables every day. I also eat almonds which are mostly fiber. I take supplements. I have no doubt that my current low carb diet is the healthiest diet I have ever had in my more than half century of existence. Great interview.

Medium is perfect...warm with a slightly red center and oh so tender. :D CONGRATULATIONS on your success Esther! I am so proud of you. KEEP IT UP!!! You're gonna make it, my friend. ;) EWWWW, I tried medium rare Esther and that was just a bit too much “mooing” for me. Medium is perfect…warm with a slightly red center and oh so tender. :D

It is wonderful to hear from a nutritionalist who doesn't bash low carb and high fat. I'm looking forward to the 2nd part and will be checking out her website and blog for more information. I agree with Maya that most people don't know how to cook their food. And Jimmy, when you get to eating a medium-Rare steak, you'll once again say..."what a difference"! lol. Thanks again for all the work you put into this. What a help it has been to me. I've hit the 20 lb loss this week (in 3 1/2 months, including Christmas!!) And in the increments of "50 lbs," that's almost half way! Woo Hoo! Wow, that was an amazing interivew. It is wonderful to hear from a nutritionalist who doesn’t bash low carb and high fat.

But I "accidentally" had a medium steak about three years ago and OH...MY...GOSH!!! What a difference! I used to eat all my meats either medium well or well done.

Such as the traditional western asian traditions who consider Ghee medicinal and even good for skin inflamations. I think we will find the problem is not saturated fat but rather how we are cooking our food. Most people don't actually know how to cook. When I order meat in low end to mid range restuarants it is often seriously overcooked and same with my veggies. Most people cook their food to DEATH and eating over cooked meat may be the confound that these studies are picking up. We already know that heating some oils can negatively affect metobolic resistance so perhaps saturated fat is good for us but the same foods with those fats also have mono and poly fats that are getting converted into something ugly by the way we are cooking them.

I'm not in agreement with Monica about that, but most everything else is spot on. It’s an interesting concept indeed, although part of the equation for inflammation is saturated fat.

I have asthma and often certain foods will toss me into an attack. Not so much an allergic response but after eating them I feel ... off and then if I am in a dusty area or get a cold soon after I will wheeze more than normal. Like apples, before low carb I hardly ever ate them because they made me feel, "icky" I am curious to see how many of those foods that made me feel funny or just didn't "taste right" are actually inflammatory.
