Army veteran, powerlifter, and Keto advocate Ron “Big Black” Garrett is our special interview guest on Episode 1649 of The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.

“We have to realize that the prejudices we have in our neighborhood, they are learning the same thing in their neighborhoods. Somebody has to take the initiative to change.”

– Ron “Big Black” Garrett

Army veteran and powerlifter Ron ‘Big Black’ Garrett, started Keto in October of  2017 after a diagnosis of diabetes. Being a former bodybuilder and currently a powerlifter, this diagnosis was devastating. After a month and a half, Ron went from an HBA1C of 8 down to 6.3 and a month later was no longer diabetic with an HBA1C of 5.3. Currently, HBA1C is at 5. Ron lost a total of 70 lbs. From a mentor at church, and through the prayers of his wife, Ron found keto and became an advocate, helping to spread the benefits of Keto among his family, coworkers, and friends.

Listen in today as Jimmy and Ron talk about the recent developments that we’ve all been seeing in the news and how we as a global community should work to support our brothers and sisters of color. Ron will challenge you to change the way you think.
