Have you tried any of the “fake meat” products? We talk all about them in Episode 1702 of JIMMY RANTS on the LLVLC Show.

“How many people look at the plant-based burger and think it’s perfectly ‘clean’?”

 - Jimmy Moore

The plant-based “meat” industry is having a moment right now with lots of positive publicity in the media and plenty of companies getting in on the action of making fake burgers, chicken nuggets, and sausage at the altar of vegan propaganda. Unfortunately, the attention has created a positive view of these products in the consumer Who falsely believes they are made from high-quality natural ingredients that are healthy to consume. Hoo boy!⁣
⁣
In this episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show, I read from a new story that includes a survey of people who eat this plant-based “meats” and their perception of what they are versus the reality. It demonstrates the immense power of all the negative studies and headlines about red meat giving a tainted picture of this real, whole food to the consumer while anything that is purported to be made of plants is viewed as positive. Learn all the shocking details of this survey along with my commentary about what it means in today’s episode. ⁣

On today’s episode of The LLVLC Show, “Freak Show Babe” Kiki Mott-Smith drops by to talk all about the forgotten in the diet community.

“If so many people are getting such great results with keto, why do people fight against it?”

 - “Freak Show Babe” Kiki Mott-Smith

In this interview, Jimmy chats with keto weight loss coach Kiki Mott-Smith (aka Freak Show Babe) and this conversation was a pure delight. Kiki shares Jimmy’s frustration with the diet industry and how there are so many forgotten people and the uniqueness of what it takes to help them begin their own journey to better health. She tries to fill that gap to welcome in all the “rejects” and instill worthiness into them that they are just as deserving is anyone else to lose weight and get healthy. Enjoy this fabulous interview!

In Episode 1698 of The LLVLC Show, we have a smorgasbord of information that Jimmy shared on his JIMMY RANTS show all about "the V word".

“Are we going to have to go through this process every 3 or 4 weeks for the rest of our lives?”

 - Jimmy Moore

Are you concerned about the Covid-19 vaccination? Are you ready to get yours? As we hear in this special presentation of JIMMY RANTS on the LLVLC Show, Jimmy talks all about some of the concerns that people are having about this new preventative for the dreaded virus.

In this episode of JIMMY RANTS on IGTV, Jimmy reads from several outstanding articles, one from an Australian science journalist named Anthony Colpo who provides some relevant information that you may not be hearing about regarding "the v-word" for "91-DIVOC". You’ll learn why this is not like other v-words, how Phase 3 clinical trials for this are still ongoing until 2023, The known autoimmune disease-inducing side effects from one of the active ingredients that has never been put in a v-word before, their full knowledge that older frail people would die after taking this, and a whole lot more. This episode is packed with some important information to help you decide whether you want to get the jab in the arm or not. We also talk about other concerns that you might not know about. Make your decision fully informed. Knowledge is power!⁣

On today's episode of JIMMY RANTS on the LLVLC Show, Jimmy takes a deep dive into a new study by Dr. David Ludwig.

“I’ve heard all my career that a low-carb diet is just another version of a low-calorie diet.”

 - Jimmy Moore

When I first got into the nutritional health community, I remember hearing people who were advocating for the Atkins low-carb diet talking about it providing a metabolic advantage over other diets. What exactly was the advantage? There was an increased total energy expenditure (TEE)—the number of calories burned—of about 150-200 calories a day when you eat a carbohydrate-restricted diet. Flash forward to 2020, now we have a new meta-analysis research paper that confirms it. ⁣
⁣
In this episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show, I read from a study conducted by Boston Children’s Hospital obesity researcher Dr. David Ludwig and his team published in the December 3, 2020 issue of The Journal of Nutrition. It’s a response paper to another meta-analysis that claimed low-carb diets decrease TEE. But the average duration of the low-carb diets in those studies used in that meta-analysis was just four days. ⁣
⁣
So Dr. Ludwig reanalyzed the numbers while adding in some longer duration studies of low-carb diets on TEE. What he discovered in his research was an important factor for people attempting to eat low-carb on why they work. Get the full details about what was found in the study in today’s episode! ⁣

In Episode 1695 of The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show Dr. Kristin Baier joins Jimmy to talk about the growing trend of ‘Keto Influencers’ and how they are affecting the community.

“It really is rejuvenating for the medical provider to see patients actually get better and deprescribing medication.”

 - Dr. Kristin Baier, MD

Dr. Kristin Baier (@doctoringketo) is double board-certified in Obesity Medicine and Family Medicine. She recently relocated to San Diego to serve patients through a non-traditional healthcare model with an emphasis on metabolic health. She specializes in weight loss management and associated co-morbidities through lifestyle and nutrition.

Dr. Baier shared her story. “For many years, I battled debilitating daily migraines along with frequent painful flares from auto-immune disease. My daily medication regimen could rival someone five decades older. I had tried everything from a vegan diet to Paleo without much improvement in symptoms. Then I discovered the ketogenic diet and benefits of nutritional ketosis and within months my migraines regressed and constant joint pains resolved. I eventually tapered off of six medications and reclaimed my health. Now I strive to bring the same nutritional options to my patients when appropriate. “

In this interview, Jimmy chats with Dr. Kristin Baier, MD about the status of ketogenic diets in the medical world, what patients are most concerned about with keto, and her concerns about the challenging information shared online by shysters about ketosis that may not be true. It’s always good to pick the brain of a medical doctor who has been enlightened about low-carb nutrition.

On today’s episode of the LLVLC Show, Jimmy pulls back the curtain on a jaw-dropping report about Coca-Cola.

“We already have an example of this with the tobacco companies back in the day.”

 - Jimmy Moore

Most people who look at a research paper, attend a public health conference, or even hear recommendations from their own doctor assume that the information is scientific, accurate, and free from any outside influence. Unfortunately, the reality is that there is heavy influence from Big Pharma to Big Food that directly impacts your life because that gets trickled down to impact you eventually. And now we have a study that proves it. ⁣
⁣
In this episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show, I read from a published study detailing correspondence between representatives from the Coca-Cola Company and various researchers across the United States offering financial incentives to make presentations blaming physical activity and personal responsibility in obesity. The researchers poured over 37,000 pages of e-mail documents obtained through a freedom of information act request. What they find is damning evidence that Coke heavily influenced the direction of public health policy despite stating the opposite in their public relations. ⁣
⁣
Get the full details on what the researchers found along with my running commentary about it in today’s episode.

On today’s episode of the LLVLC Show, Bella The Steak And Butter Gal drops by the show to talk about her meat-based approach to nutrition.

“Learn to listen to your body. Eat what you crave instead of counting how much fat or protein you’re eating.”

Bella, the Steak And Butter Gal

In this interview, Jimmy talks to Bella “The Steak & Butter Gal” about her foray into the carnivore diet, the famous egg pudding recipe she came up with, what her real dream is and why the pandemic forced her into putting it on hold, and so much more! What a delightful conversation.

On today’s episode of JIMMY RANTS on the LLVLC Show, we talk about a new study about eggs that baffles the mind.

“Do you see how science can manipulate data to make it seem like it’s something that it’s not?”

- Jimmy Moore

Cholesterol Clarity on Amazon

The incredible edible egg. It’s arguably the world’s most perfect food with exactly the amount of fat and protein your body needs to be healthy and strong. There are so many nutrients contained in eggs that it would be silly to think you would need to limit your consumption of them for any reason. ⁣
⁣
But in this episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show, I read from a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition last month entitled “Higher egg consumption associated with increased risk of diabetes in Chinese adults – China Health and Nutrition Survey” that does exactly that! The researchers claim that eating just one egg a day will increase your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by 60 percent. ⁣
⁣
I do a deep dive into this study and explain in great detail why this is very bad science with flawed conclusions. It’s something we see repeated often in observational studies like this and the results they share do a great disservice to the scientific community and the general public. Watch and see how you can spot this kind of science to help those who become convinced of the headlines. ⁣
