I was a guest on the Low Carb Hustle Podcast, and I adored talking to Nate so much, I made him come talk with me for my Substack.

I think you’re gonna enjoy this conversation from a level-headed low carb guy.

I’ve loved listening to Nate’s podcast The Low Carb Hustle.

And reading his book The Million Dollar Body Method. Strong recommend from me!!

In the interview, we cover:

* Nate’s relatable and fascinating origin story

* Mindset, and more specifically how we try to control our crazy worlds by making physical changes

* What 10,000 hours in the gym taught Nate

* How to get clients to comply with dietary and lifestyle changes

* What is Low Carb Backloading

Make sure to reach out to Nate at his website if you’d like him to be your coach, or at the very least follow his extremely informative Instagram account.

As always, here’s a computer generated PDF transcript of our conversation, which may read a little batshit crazy as AI ain’t been perfected just yet.

I am delighted to share this conversation with the low carb vegetarian foodie herself, Vasudha Viswanath! She wrote a book that’s coming out January 17th, and I can say with 100% authority that you must get a copy and add it to your low carb repertoire. My fellow meat eaters, I mean y’all too! You will get so many great ideas for apps, sides, dips, and my personal fave…the savory smoothie.

Below is a little more about Vasudha, plus you’ll want to subscribe to her Substack titled We Ate Well. It’s one of my favorite reads on this platform because Vasudha does deep dives into low carb like no one else. She’s one smart cookie, and we are lucky to have her in this community!

Vasudha Viswanath is the founder of We Ate Well, a community for foodies that focuses on eating mindfully and sustainably on a vegetarian diet. She has been a lifelong vegetarian and passionate home cook. Her journey into eating healthy started with a doctor’s note about her elevated blood sugar after a routine physical. She transformed the way she cooks to cut out excessive starch and sugar and has never felt better. After spending over a decade on Wall Street where she specialized in technology and business strategy, Vasudha left her career in finance to write a cookbook and create We Ate Well. She grew up in Bangalore, India and now lives in New York City with her husband and daughter. Her web site is www.v8well.com

Dr. Alexis Daniels is one of those humans on a quest for knowledge. There’s never a time that I see her that she hasn’t been recently at a conference or a lecture where she’s furthering her knowledge of the human body in a way that is so admirable, she puts most in the medical community to shame.

Dr. Daniels and I had a brief conversation about fasting, yet she explains things in such a fantastically easy to understand way, I hope this resonates with you and gives you food for thought. And if you’re currently fasting as you listen to this, food for thought might be the only food you get for awhile.

Enjoy this interview!

If you are at all interested in food, you’ve definitely seen one or two cooking shows over the years. You may have even seen a show that Tricia Clark has produced. Or you may have seen a commercial, tv show Thanksgiving dinner scene, or some spread of food being eaten on a group date on The Bachelor, and wondered whose job it is to do all that.

For those of you who have my second book, Tricia contributed one of my favorite recipes: Tricia’s Sea Bass with Agrodolce Sauce. It’s next level delicious, versatile, and a recipe from someone who’s love of food obviously runs deep.

Chatting with Tricia was a delight, and I hope you all enjoy the convo with her. Behind the scenes on anything gives me great joy. Follow her on Instagram.

If you’d like to read the interview instead of listening, here’s a computer generated transcript that is mostly correct but also a bit bonkers in its voice recognition.

Tricia has been styling and producing for the past 10 years in Los Angeles. As a stylist, she has worked on a bit of everything including commercials, “stand and stirs,”  integrations and scripted projects. Commercial and integration clients include brands such as Kelloggs, Google, Coke, Ragu, Wendy’s, DiGiorno Pizza and more. 

She spent several years as the food stylist at Extra with Mario Lopez. At Extra, she styled and produced countless live cooking demos with Food Network personalities and cookbook authors alike.  You name ‘em, Tricia has probably cooked for them!

Tricia has been drawn to food like a moth to a flame all her life. In kindergarten, she watched her idol Julia Child on PBS every afternoon waiting for the day her mother would finally allow her to cook with wine!
