Graphic designer and ketogenic diet advocate Desi Miller and Scottish nutritionist who uses low-carb, high-fat diets with clients Emily Maguire join our hosts Jimmy Moore and Dietitian Cassie today in Episode 152 of "Low-Carb Conversations With Jimmy Moore, Dietitian Cassie & Friends!"

In today's episode, our co-hosts Jimmy Moore and Dietitian Cassie are joined by graphic designer and ketogenic diet proponent Desi Miller and Scottish ketogenic nutritionist and current world-traveler Emily Maguire from the "Low Carb Genesis" blog. All four of them were in attendance on the 2015 Low-Carb Cruise and spend the first half of today's show discussing what that was like reminiscing on the great parts (all the amazing guest speakers!) and the not-so-great parts (don't mention "volcano hike" to Cassie or Emily anytime soon!). Get a firsthand glimpse into the magic that happens on the Low-Carb Cruise listening to these four sharing their thoughts about it (read Cassie's 2015 Low-Carb Cruise Recap).

Listen in as Jimmy, Cassie, Desi, and Emily discuss the call for a new sugary orange fizzy soda tax to battle obesity in Scotland (handpicked by Emily), a Texas man who treated his lung cancer with a ketogenic diet (handpicked by Desi), a study that claims "high-protein" diets lead to weight gain, the United States Department of Agriculture's new voluntary GMO-free certification, and whether fast food companies should be blamed and sued for making people fat. This episode is a bit outside our regular format, but we think you're gonna enjoy it. Even still, it's time to pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee and let's talk!
