Hello and welcome back to The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore!

Today, Jimmy speaks with Annette Presley, registered dietitian and co-author of The Liberation Diet: Setting America Free from the Bondage of Health Misinformation.

Annette is a strong advocate of the low-carbohydrate nutritional approach to health management and weight loss, even to the point where she was once threatened with the revocation of her credentials. Annette quickly fought back with the truth by submitting a paper on the science in support of low-carb and she managed to (begrudgingly to the dietitians clinging tight to conventional wisdom) keep her official status.

Listen in to the interview as she joins the chorus alerting us to the possibility of liver damage from fructose ingestion, rocking the boat in dietary circles, attending a lecture by Dr. Robert Atkins BEFORE she was a convert, and of course, all about The Liberation Diet she created with personal trainer and former guest Kevin Brown.

Many thanks Jimmy and Good For Your Annette! I’m working on my local Dietitians and even my family Doctor but as you say they feel/are constrained by the licensing bodies… what a crazy system that has to continue preaching and teaching faith-based dogma despite evidenced-based proof to the contrary.
Keep up the great work!
Cheers

Great interview Jimmy,

It’s good to hear what I know from my own experience to be the truth. I do not hear this from anyone connected with our medical establishment. I currently don’t have a doctor. I’ve had to fire my so called doctors. They all spout the dogma crap that is so prevalent about health and diet and is not true; don’t eat fat or eggs etc. All they want to do is write prescriptions for drugs. It is terrible that these doctors are killing their patients. So as I see it there is only one thing to do, take control of your own health and don’t put in someone’s hands whose only interest is not in helping their patients but in making money.

It was comforting to hear Dr. Atkins got so much ridicule and scorn when Annette watched him speak. Dr. Wortman lives with this as well. We all live with this but it’s comforting to hear that we are not in this alone. Annette says it’s the hybrid plants and vegetable oils. I say it’s the sugar in hybrid plants and vegetables. It is no doubt both. Killers to be sure!

How true….when you eat a lot of carbs you just don’t feel like doing anything. When I stick to lo-carb I want to take walks and go on bike rides. When I don’t….I just want to sit around and watch TV. Good interview!
