Definitely clone Dr. Joan. It is great that there are doctors recommending the low carb way of life. My doctor is against it; I just tell him I’m avoiding sugar and flour. Since starting this lifestyle, my health is fantastic-still overweight but my blood pressure is under control, more energy, sleep better, no more heartburn , eczema cleared up, face has a healthy glow etc. I do not think I will ever go back to my old ways! p.s. Jimmy, I received my GO-LOWER bars-chocolate flavor-tasted one and found my new treat! Thank you for the bars and another great podcast interview.
You are VERY welcome, Linda! ENJOY!
Jimmy,
I listened to the interview today with Dr. Tennerman and I knew I needed to write a comment. I am a home health nurse and your podcast keeps me away from fast food drive thrus and blowing all the wonderful things that are happening to me on my low carb diet. You and your podcast help me stay on track.
I have only been low carbing for 3 months; it took me a long time to get over the “indoctrination” from my nurse’s training. I have been overweight, with diabetes and high blood pressure for years, all the while, driving from patient’s home to patient’s home, teaching them how to eat the diet that was killing me!
Yet, no matter how hard I clung to the low fat/low calorie diet, it didn’t help me- and it wasn’t helping my patients. I thought there was something wrong with me! In fact- when I repeatedly failed at Weight Watchers and the staff of WW publically shamed me in several meetings by saying I was either lying about what I was eating, or not “trying hard enough”- I thought it was my fault and I tried harder. When my doctors told me I must not be writing down “everything” I was eating and I needed to stick closer to their prescribed low fat diet- I thought it was my fault and tried harder. All the while, my blood sugar, weight and blood pressure climbed higher and higher. And I got more and more passionate with my patients about the low calorie/low fat diets that they were trying to do. It was INSANE!!
Then I changed doctors and this one is very low carb friendly. She immediately steered me to low carb and I protested at first. She persisted and the rest is the best part of the story. After only 3 months my blood pressure is normal. My blood sugar is normal. I have energy and am not grumpy all the time. I’ve lost 9 lbs and plan to stay on this low carb lifestyle for the rest of my life! But best of all- I am no longer shamed and ashamed. It wasn’t my fault at all! I was just on the wrong road.
Thank God for doctors like the ones you have been interviewing. My doctor saved my life! And thank God for you! Keep doing what you’re doing! You are helping a lot of people.
