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

Today Jimmy presents his interview with Leigh Peele, who describes herself on her web site as follows:

The bulk of my work, I would say 90% of it, is helping people achieve the bodies they want through the right combination of diet and training. I have said in the past I succeed where others fail. I think it is more fitting to say I enlighten, where others confuse. Confusing others is the favorite pastime of people in this field. Hopefully I can be a part of helping you sort through what you need, and chucking the rest out.

Listen in as Jimmy and this outspoken blogger, popular podcaster and “fat-loss troubleshooter” share a lively conversation with loads to chew on!

I was not that interest to these shows before, but when I watch the episode 291 interviewing with Leigh Peele I came to know that it will help to achieve my bodies what I want, with the right combination of diet and training. It will also help the youth who wants to make there body in a perfect structure and 90% of it is helping people to achieve the bodies they want. Thanks to Jimmy Moore and Leigh for the fat loss troubleshooter program. Hope they will produce more useful tips for fitness which helps people to have a good healthy life.

    Great, another person who thinks calories matter. Jimmy you have got to stop having this people on your show, they are obviously stuck in the stone age. You are supporting bad beliefs with everyone of these issues. To say insulin doesn’t matter is insane.

    I welcome all voices, Lisa, and try to have them explain why they believe what they do. Just because they’re on my show doesn’t mean I’m in agreement with what they say. THANK YOU for listening!

    It’s not that calories don’t matter, it’s that they don’t matter as much on a low carb diet as they do for other eating plans. Even on low carb you can’t eat 5000 calories a day and lose weight. On a low carb eating plan calories don’t matter as much because we aren’t hungry and don’t have the desire to eat as much so we don’t have to count our calories. Check out the various meal plans in the Atkins and other books and add up the calories. You will see that it’s a moderate amount of calories. It’s more than a low fat diet, but it’s not a crazy high number of calories per day.

    I just don’t understand her beef with Taubes.

    She does portion control of carbohydrates. So she knows that carbohydrates don’t provide any benefits and can cause weight gain.

    I just think its easier to go low carb and avoid those carbohydrates like rice instead of using portion control. Trying to portion control rice for me is difficult and I suspect for a lot of people.

    She talks about how people don’t understand calories – how much they really need to consume etc. I think its easier to not have to worry about calories as its usual taken care of on low carb.

    Here here! :)

    Awesome guest – Leigh is one of the best minds in the industry hands down.

    Lisa – your comment is absurd. There is evidence-a-plenty that calories do matter when it comes to fat loss. You can’t escape this. It’s convenient to stick your fingers in your ears and go “la-la-la-la-la” and be completely unwilling to examine the entire weight of evidence but scientific sense and common sense are against you on this one.

    Sue – to understand Leigh’s beef with Taubes, you would actually have to take a critical look at the evidence that Taubes presents. If you’ve already made up your mind that Taubes is infallible, you will fall victim to confimation bias each and every time.

    Thank you for having Leigh on Jimmy.

    My pleasure, Mike!
