Low-carb, high-fat diet advocate and physician Dr. Ron Rosedale is our guest today for this LLVLC Show Classic from our golden archives in Episode 789 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show."

Today we have an unforgettable LLVLC Show Classic episode featuring a low-carb, high-fat physician named Dr. Ron Rosedale, author of The Rosedale Diet. Long before his infamous appearance on Jimmy's ‘Safe Starches’ Panel at the 2012 Ancestral Health Symposium (AHS12), Dr. Rosedale was speaking with Jimmy about about why he wanted to learn more about nutrition, how the low-carb diet concepts really aren’t new, the greater importance of leptin over insulin, why hunger happens, the role of calories on a low-carb diet, why he doesn’t read other diet and nutrition books, the maniacal nature of nutritional studies bending towards pharmaceutical solutions, the movement by the government to make vitamins more difficult to obtain, the cardiovascular risks of taking statin drugs, the diabetes drugs that are giving patients cancer, how he has been on the cutting-edge of moderating protein intake when all other low-carb supporters were talking about high-protein, why he calls for limiting saturated fat consumption in the first few weeks of beginning his plan, why cholesterol is so important inside the body, the correlation between low cholesterol and cancer, his views on limiting omega-6 fat sources to balance fatty acids and why it’s nearly impossible to reach optimal levels in modern society without completely eliminating omega-6 fatty acid sources, why eggs and nuts are nature’s perfect low-carb foods, the impossibility of knowing what the perfect fat/protein/carb ratio is ideal for someone, how what we eat isn’t that same thing as what our cells are consuming, and how to determine the ideal amount of protein to consume in your meals. This is one of our all-time favorite interviews and one worth listening to if you missed it the first time around. It's an LLVLC Show Classic episode you won't soon forget!
