Pediatric endocrinologist, medical school professor, nutritional health researcher, and New York Times bestselling author Dr. David Ludwig is our interview guest today in Episode 1068 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

The greatest nemesis in any given diet plan is hunger. When you are hungry, then your body starts to scream at you to feed it more food by giving you clues like hunger pangs, fatigue, and other such symptoms. But a Harvard-based pediatric endocrinologist, medical school professor, and nutritional health researcher named Dr. David Ludwig (listen to Jimmy's previous interview with him in Episode 403) from DrDavidLudwig.com would argue that it's not necessarily the overeating that has made us all fat--instead, it's getting fat that makes us overeat. This is why we are constantly fighting the desire to consume more and more to try to satisfy that persistent physical cue to eat. It's the premise of Dr. Ludwig's brand new New York Times bestselling Always Hungry?: Conquer Cravings, Retrain Your Fat Cells, and Lose Weight Permanently. Listen in for this fabulous discussion between Jimmy and Dr. Ludwig.
