The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show With Jimmy Moore

"It's so easy to skip meals when eating keto."

- Jimmy Moore

When this Best-Of episode was originally released, our host Jimmy Moore had just returned from his third trip to Australia in four years! While he was there, Jimmy shared 12 lectures in 14 days with lots of information about ketogenic diets, Paleo, and healthy living. But he also provided an exciting new lecture entitled “Not Just Another F-Word: My Experiences With Fasting” sharing all about his conversion from a fast foe into a bona fide fasting fanatic! This lecture was recorded in Brisbane, Australia in September 2016 at the Low Carb Down Under event. It details all of the N=1 experiments Jimmy participated in that culminated in a series of longer fasts which he shares fully about in the podcast today. And don’t miss Jimmy’s book with Dr. Jason Fung on this subject: The Complete Guide to Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended Fasting.

While Jimmy is gone on a much needed and deserved sabbatical for six months to rest and recuperate, we will be bringing you the best of the best from the vast archive of shows that Jimmy has accumulated over the last 15 years. We also will be airing shows from his wildly popular JIMMY RANTS live show that originated on Instagram Live and now resides at JimmyRants.com.

“The easiest way to eat keto at a restaurant is to go to an American steakhouse and order the fattiest cut of steak.”

– Jimmy Moore

Do you eat a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet and find it challenging to eat this way when you go out to a restaurant? It can be a problem for a lot of people eating this way without looking like a total turdball, but health podcaster and international bestselling author of KETO CLARITY, Jimmy Moore, says it doesn’t have to be. Listen to hear him share about how to order at a steakhouse, Mexican, Italian, fast food, pizza, and more in this episode.

“This study means absolutely NOTHING to human females!”

– Jimmy Moore 

Is the effect of the ketogenic diet different for women as compared with men? That’s the conclusion of a new unpublished study presented at the ENDO 2019 conference…but this research has one MAJOR flaw as it relates to human application–they only tested the keto diet on MICE. Read the full details on this study below.

Animal-based studies are only interesting as a way to form a hypothesis to test in humans according to health podcaster and international bestselling author of KETO CLARITY Jimmy Moore. But these kind of studies mean absolutely NOTHING to humans and so their conclusions can be viewed with a grain of salt. Listen in to find out what the researchers found in the mice and Jimmy’s suggestions for a randomized controlled trial to test their hypothesis in humans in this episode of Jimmy Rants On LLVLC.

“I was eating crappy calories just trying to put on size without knowing anything about food quality, or where those calories came from.”

– Robert Sikes

From a measly 115 pounds to a miserable 230 pounds to a ketogenic professional bodybuilder, Robert Sikes from KetoSavage.com has blazed his own trail. Robert was not dealt a good hand with regards to becoming an elite bodybuilder.  He was skinny as a rail and had no gym experience whatsoever.  His first bench was an ice chest and his first weight set was pieces of loose steel his father had laying around the shop.  He didn’t have a clue about nutrition or training but he was hungry to learn. From skinny to overweight to keto Savage, Robert’s story is incredible.

Listen in today as Jimmy and Robert chat about how he started following conventional wisdom in the bodybuilding community that suggested he eat TONS of calories (mostly from crap carbs) to gain muscle, how he ate 6,000 calories a day and went from skinny to fat with the hopes of someday competing, continuing to follow conventional wisdom when he prepped for his first bodybuilding competition leading to disaster, going from feasting to starving, developing eating disorders, discovering keto, and much more.

We’re at a nutritional health crossroads right now pitting those who value the role of animal-based foods against plant-based activists in a head-to-head battle over what constitutes a healthy, sustainable diet. The need for a sound, scientific basis for the advice shared in things like the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans (set to be updated in 2020) is sorely needed now more than ever! This is why the nation’s premier food and nutrition guru Dr. Taylor Wallace from the Department of Nutrition and Food Studies at George Mason University wrote the following article calling for all parties involved in the research and health sectors to do better than we are right now. Check it out for yourself below.

“You wind up eating way more food when eating plant-based than when we eat good animal proteins and fat.”

– Jimmy Moore

Health podcaster and international bestselling author of KETO CLARITY Jimmy Moore notes that a plant-based diet devoid of any animal foods has never been shown in quality research (randomized controlled trials) to be optimal for human health. And one of the favorite objections raised against meat-eating is the issue of sustainability, but a vegetarian or vegan diet is far less sustainable. Listen to hear Jimmy share more on this insightful commentary from Dr. Wallace in this episode.

“These taxes seem to hurt the very people they claim to protect.”

– Jimmy Moore

There’s been a big push in recent years led by anti-sugar activists to get the government to start imposing a mandatory tax on sugary beverages like soda along with excise taxes on producers and distributors of sweetened swill. A new report issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Heart Association (AHA) is calling on legislators and policymakers to make this happen. Read the story about this first-ever recommended food tax proposal below.

Medical Groups Endorse New Taxes and Marketing Restrictions on Soda

While on the surface this looks like something that would be appealing to people who eschew sugar in their diet like those who consume a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet. But health podcaster and international bestselling author of KETO CLARITY Jimmy Moore who is one of the leading voices in the keto movement says allowing a sugar tax is a dangerous slippery slope that opens the door to them coming after meat and other saturated fat-based real, whole foods that they deem “unhealthy” in the future. Listen to hear the details about this (along with the shocking details about how they will use this tax money) in this episode.

“Hopefully this book is the skeleton that people need to get to the truth about their nutrition.”

- Robb Wolf

Today’s LLVLC Show Classic episode is with arguably the most famous name in the Paleo community. He is the great Robb Wolf and affectionately referred to as “baby Jesus.” Robb has firmly established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the health conversation over the past few years with the release of his New York Times bestselling book The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet and an extremely popular Top 5 iTunes Health podcast called “The Paleo Solution.” He moved from Chico, California to Reno, Nevada to begin working with first responders there to help them get their health back in line to perform their duties to serve and protect in their community by shifting their diet to a low-carb Paleo way of life. But long before all of that happened, we had Robb Wolf on this podcast talking about his basic philosophy regarding nutrition, fitness, and health like only he can. Listen in as we share two incredible interviews with this highly influential and respected leader from the world of Paleo.

As more and more people have become wise to the negative health effects of consuming things like rice, they are embracing more low-carb, keto-friendly options such as cauliflower rice instead. But this growing trend of eschewing the carbs for healthier options has started to cut into the sales of traditional rice in states like Arkansas so much now that state lawmakers there have passed a bill banning the sale of cauliflower rice. Read the shocking details of this below.

Arkansas Legislature Saves Residents From Accidentally Eating Rice Made From Cauliflower: https://reason.com/2019/03/29/arkansas-legislature-saves-residents-fro/

This is yet another all-out assault on real food and keto says health podcaster and international bestselling author of KETO CLARITY Jimmy Moore who encourages people to stand against this kind of thing when it happens. Their stated reason for doing this is because of the economic implications on the state of Arkansas being much more important than the collective health choices of the residents there. Watch to hear Jimmy share more about this and how truly ridiculous it is in this video.

Something fascinating starts to happen when you turn to a healthy nutrition plan like keto. You get so dialed into your diet and track various health markers like blood sugar, insulin, inflammatory markers, and more that when they don’t fall into the perfect ideal range we start to wonder what is going on. This was something that health podcaster and international bestselling author of KETO CLARITY Jimmy Moore saw this week in a message from one of his followers who heard him talk about the marker hsCRP on his Friday podcast called The KetoHacking MD Podcast (http://www.ketohackingmd.com).

“It’s very tempting to see one lab result and respond by doing something drastic. Allow things time to see if they stabilize.”

– Jimmy Moore

Although her own personal hsCRP reading was in the healthy range at 1.4, she was so worried about what was wrong because it wasn’t as low as she thought it should be eating low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic. Listen to Jimmy share his insights on this and his warning to not let orthorexia creep into your pursuit of nutritional ketosis in this episode.

The failure of mainstream medical, nutrition, and health experts to give people practical and effective advice on how they need to eat in order to live optimally healthy has driven people to see out answers on their own. From Atkins to primal, Paleo to Whole30, fasting to keto…real people are discovering their path to weight loss and genuine healing in their body is coming from a diet and lifestyle that is far different from what they’ve always been told is good. Now, there’s a move by the nutritional health establishment to push back on these alternative plans by labeling them as “extreme” and the adherents to them as pushing themselves to become “too healthy” that it’s become unhealthy. Read this Boston Globe story below for more.

Is our obsession with healthy eating out of control?: https://www.bostonglobe.com/magazine/2019/01/10/the-dark-side-dietary-dogma/tysBcIb3M2qwn42obPOmQI/story.html

The notion that eating a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet is somehow “too healthy” and “extreme” is completely laughable to health podcaster and international bestselling author of KETO CLARITY Jimmy Moore who says drinking double-digit cans of Coca-Cola, eating whole boxes of Little Debbie snack cakes, and consuming fast food everyday (all of which he did before he found keto) was the REAL extreme diet. Watch to hear Jimmy share passionately about how his healthier choices are far better than the truly extreme nonsense that was his nutrition when he was eating the Standard American Diet in this video.
