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

In today’s episode, Jimmy shares his conversation with Julia Ross, nutritional psychologist, eating disorder specialist and author of The Diet Cure and The Mood Cure. Julia believes that by following the advice in her books or by consulting with her at her practice practice, virtually anyone can overcome carbohydrate addiction in just a matter of days.

She points out a University of Bordeaux study demonstrating that sugar–and sugar substitutes–are four times as addictive as cocaine! Did you get that?! She add that the cause of carb addiction is not psychological, but rather physical and it is not treated with self-discipline or some magical willpower ability. Rather, Julia’s studies have shown that the cause and best treatment is dietary–that would be livin’ la vida low-carb!

ALSO: Don’t forget to try Verve! the great new sugar-free, low-carb energy drink that supports the low-carb community by underwriting a portion of this show!

Absolutely loved this show. I’ve had her book Diet Cure for years and use it constantly. It seems to be all coming together finally and it’s like I “get it”. This book and websites like yours are so valuable. Thanks Jimmy!

Wow! Listening to your interview with Julia really brought her Mood Cure information along with you LLVLC crusade together so strongly for me. I’m passing this along to a friend who is concerned with her young daughter’s sugar consumption. I think this show will change and even save lots of lives.

Go Jimmy!, Go Julie!

This is a fantastic interview, Jimmy. I ordered both her books (while still listening to the interview). As someone who struggles with depression and anxiety, I have been working on how to follow a low-carb lifestyle and keep my moods balanced. Her supplement strategies make a lot of sense and I’m looking forward to trying them.

Many thanks for the great work you do. I have learned so much through your posts, podcasts, and recommendations.
