When Andrew Dimino started up CarbSmart.com in the late 1990s prior to the explosion in popularity of the low-carb diet in the early 2000s, little did he know the wild journey his company would take starting as an online retailer selling products to help people following a carbohydrate-restricted lifestyle. But about a year ago, he decided to take an incredible risk to the business he had built for over a decade to transition his very popular web site from one of e-commerce to invaluable online low-carb magazine. He joins us today along with the Managing Editor of CarbSmart.com who is a well-known name in the low-carb community--Dana Carpender from "Hold The Toast." Together this dynamic duo manages a team of contributing writers (including our very own Jimmy Moore!) who regularly present loads of free information about low-carb living.

Since Dana is an accomplished low-carb recipe-maker extraordinaire (including her latest book 500 Paleo Recipes), Andrew asked her to write an e-cookbook for people desiring weight loss and to get into nutritional ketosis. That's when they birthed the Fat Fast Cookbook: 50 Easy Recipes To Jump Start Weight Loss with lots of high-fat, moderate protein, low-carb recipes which will be made available in traditional book form soon. Additionally, they recently launched the first and only low-carb magazine for your iPad (other platforms coming soon!) with ambitious plans in the coming months to keep the low-carb revolution going strong. Listen in as Jimmy has a friendly chat with his two good low-carb loving buddies Andrew and Dana talking about this shift in focus that CarbSmart.com has made and how that will help YOU in the years to come make your healthy low-carb lifestyle the best it can be!
