Hello and welcome back for another look at the world of health and nutrition through the unique lens of The Livin’ La Vida Low-carb Show With Jimmy Moore!
Mark Sisson was a carbo-loading, Olympic-qualifying marathoner in 1980. But after earning a degree in biology, he realized that his training regimen and his training table were doing his body no long-term favors. Fast forward to today and Mark is an advocate for what he refers to as “Primal Nutrition” including plants–but not grains–and INSECTS?!?! Say WHAT?!
It’s really not as bad as it sounds…Listen in for a killer interview with the fantastically entertaining and informative blogger behind the uber-popular Mark Sisson’s Daily Apple!

An excellent interview, Jimmy. Hours and hours of exercise=”Bataan Death March to nowhere”
His position is very similar to Fred Hahn’s, who has a related post about excessive exercise and what our bodies were intended to do.
Thanks so much for this. Great podcast loads of nuggets of Info, I love the daily apple and have followed your blog on and off for a while now. Many Thanks Jimmy!!
THANKS Katy and Chris!
I look at the guy’s picture and say it’s hard to argue with success. OTOH, I’m skeptical about his advocacy for domesticated fruit. Most of the sweeter fruits sold today are a product of many generations of selective breeding to increase size and sugar content. Their wild ancestors were smaller, more tart, and more fibrous. Ever tried to eat a crab apple? I might be wrong, but I suspect paleolithic man didn’t venture far beyond berries.
You can’t beat someone living the lifestyle and looking the part! Top podcast Jimmy.
Please have Mark back and get into more detail about the primal lifestyle.
I’m skeptical about his advocacy for domesticated fruit
If you read Mark’s site, you’ll find that he himself doesn’t eat a lot of fruit, and that he recommends berries as the best choice. In the podcast he say you can eat “some fruit” but I assure you he is not a big advocate of fruit. Also, if you follow his recommendation to eat several cups of vegetables, and limit yourself to 120 grams of carbs, you won’t be eating much fruit.
LOVED IT!
His website is wealth of information as well.
