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

Endurance sports writer, certified sports nutritionist, and author Matt Fitzgerald is our interview guest today in Episode 824 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

With the rise in popularity of the concept of dieting from every angle, including Paleo and low-carb, there is growing skepticism by some people about whether any of them are viable requiring what they think is the unnecessary restriction of some food, ingredient, or macronutrient. This is something that concerned endurance sports writer and certified sports nutritionist Matt Fitzgerald so much that he decided to address what he describes as the failure of the "one-size-fits-all" nutritional approach in his provocatively-titled 2014 book Diet Cults: The Surprising Fallacy at the Core of Nutrition Fads and a Guide to Healthy Eating for the Rest of US. This book has already been quite controversial in the health community which is why Jimmy wanted to speak with Matt about the premise of his new book.

Listen in as Jimmy and Matt have an engaging conversation about how the diet industry has gotten it all wrong, the belief that every diet is predicated on being the "single right way" to health, why the most prudent approach is the one that is customized to the individual (the philosophy that Jimmy has long held about diet--find the proven plan that works for you and do it for the rest of your life making appropriate tweaks along the way), why nutritional science is pretty much bogus, how even the Paleo and low-carb diet can be wrongly promoted as the only way, how an agnostic belief in diet may or may not necessarily be a good idea, how to customize the diet plan that will work for you, and so much more. This was one of the most engaging interviews Jimmy has had in a while which always makes for great podcasting. ENJOY!

Investigative journalist and New York Times bestselling author Nina Teicholz is our special interview guest today in Episode 823 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

After being away from the podcast since late October 2013, our host Jimmy Moore is finally back where he belongs behind the microphone of the longest-running health podcast on the Internet today. While he's been away writing on his next book Keto Clarity: Your Definitive Guide to the Benefits of a Low-Carb, High-Fat Diet set to release on August 5, 2014, we've been sharing so many amazing guest hosts and LLVLC Show Classic episodes for you to enjoy. But Jimmy is eager to get back to sharing some incredible new interviews with you featuring the top nutrition, health and fitness experts in the world. And with his return today, he comes back with a bang!

Today's interview guest is an investigative journalist named Nina Teicholz who has written columns for Gourmet magazine, The New Yorker, The Economist, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. After being asked by a publisher to write a book about the health impact of trans fats over a decade ago, Teicholz found a much deeper story that was more salacious and groundbreaking than even she realized at the time--the negative attention saturated fat receives as a culprit in disease was just plain wrong and the unfounded low-fat diet advice has been the most disastrous public health experiment in world history. The culmination of over a decade of research and writing has culminated in the release of her 2014 book The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet that has already hit the New York Times bestsellers list.

Listen in to hear Jimmy and Nina discuss why we've never heard of her before now, the differences between her book and Gary Taubes' classic Good Calories, Bad Calories, the history behind how the American Heart Association bought into the anti-saturated fat bias of Ancel Keys, how the anti-sugar work of John Yudkin was mocked and ridiculed by anti-fat proponents, the fraudulent way the Mediterranean diet was created (by Keys) and marketed as "healthy," how the vilification of tropical oils like coconut oil actually led to the increased use of trans fats, how groups like the Center for the Science in the Public Interest led by Michal Jacobson have had such an influence with good and bad results, the problem with omega-6-rich polyunsaturated fats from vegetable oils producing oxidation products when heated, and so much more! This new book from Nina Teicholz takes the message of Taubes to the next level in a narrative form that makes the notion of a high-fat diet more mainstream that it's ever been before. The tide is turning and this book is going to be a big reason why. Jimmy's back and better than ever!

World-renowned medical health researcher and leading cholesterol skeptic Dr. Uffe Ravnskov is our special guest today in this LLVLC Show Classic from our golden archives in Episode 816 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show."

As we conclude our LLVLC Show Classic episodes today since Jimmy is wrapping up his next book Keto Clarity, we've saved one of the best hidden treasures for last. This man is arguably one of the most influential voices in the world of low-carb, high-fat diets and raising legitimate questions about the real role of saturated fat and cholesterol in our health which is why Jimmy tapped him as one of his "Moment Of Clarity" experts in his bestselling 2013 book Cholesterol Clarity. His name is Dr. Uffe Ravnskov and he's become quite the legend for his voracious research into fat, cholesterol and the real reasons for heart disease. He's written several books on this subject--The Cholesterol Myths: Exposing the Fallacy that Saturated Fat and Cholesterol Cause Heart Disease, Fat and Cholesterol are Good for You, Ignore the Awkward: How the Cholesterol Myths Are Kept Alive--which are discussed in these past episodes we are airing today.

Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Ravnskov discuss the lack of any studies that prove any benefit for low-fat diets, why the cholesterol theory of heart disease has never been proven true, The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics organization he started, why low-carb diets are feared by health professionals, how the perpetrators of the cholesterol myths have been able to keep the lies going by manipulating the science, and so much more. Dr. Ravnskov is the real deal and we're happy to share him with you today in this LLVLC Show Classic episode.

Eating disorder specialist and self-love proponent Karly Randolph Pitman is our special guest host in Episode 815 of "The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show."

One of the biggest obstacles to transitioning to a Paleo or low-carb diet is this sweet little enemy to our health known as sugar. You may know why you don't want to eat sugar but yet you still struggle with how to ditch it for good in the face of cravings, stress, and the nagging demands of everyday life. We tend to think that eating less sugar is simply a matter of flexing some kind of mysterious willpower which makes us try harder and harder to control the sugar cravings and how much sugar we eat. Unfortunately, this can make food--and life itself, for that matter--all the more stressful, painful and one giant tightrope. This is something today's guest host Karly Randolph Pitman from "Growing Human(kind)ness" (listen to her in Jimmy's previous interviews with her in Episode 566, Episode 227, Episode 129 and Episode 130) knows all-too-well.

Karly knows a thing or two about this topic as she actively helps men and women heal the emotional roots of disordered eating and sugar addiction through compassion and connection. Rather than learning strategies to control your weight, your body, or what you eat, Karly's "heart over binge" approach heals the inner dynamics that drive it. She has created a term for this that she likes to describe as growing human(kind)ness, where you trade the false refuge of food, sugar, or the pursuit of a perfect body for the true refuge of a loving, nurturing relationship with yourself. And she knows too as someone who struggled for two decades with multiple eating disorders, depression, and addiction. She's the author of several books about this topic, including her latest The 30 Day Lift which she talks about in today's episode.

Listen in as Karly explains why giving up sugar isn't impossible, why it takes a "different" approach to make it happen, how to say no to sugar by building emotional tolerance, what it takes to find the energy to make this happen (and it's not willpower) without white knuckling it, overcoming the stress of saying no, how to separate your cravings for sugar with your current feelings, how to deal with situations when sugar presents itself so readily, and so much more. Karly is a soothing voice of reason in the wilderness of temptation that is out there. Let her help you beat your sugar addiction for good!
