Jimmy Moore is the energetic host of the wildly popular podcast show, Livin' La Vida Low-Carb. In this show we talk to him about his 180 pound weight loss, the lessons he has learned through personal experience and his interview guests, and his two books. We also discuss the USDA proposal for the 2010 dietary guidelines. Jimmy does not mince words, and I think you will enjoy the interview.

In this show we talk to him about his 180 pound weight loss, the lessons he has learned through personal experience and his interview guests, and his two books. We also discuss the USDA proposal for the 2010 dietary guidelines (http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/dietaryguidelines.htm). Jimmy does not mince words, and I think you will enjoy the interview. In 2003, Jimmy Moore was suffering from high blood pressure, a bad lipid profile, high blood sugar, breathing difficulties and many of the other discomforts caused by morbid obesity. He weighed 410 pounds and wore a size 62 pants. After his mother-in-law bought him a book by Dr. Robert C. Atkins about losing weight on a low carb diet, he made a new year's resolution to lose weight. He began January 1, 2004 and ended December 31 180 pounds lighter! If this is not remarkable enough, he has kept the weight off now for over 5 years! In order to answer all the questions people asked him about how he accomplished this feat, Jimmy published his first book, Livin' La Vida Low-Carb: My Journey from Flabby Fat to Sensationally Skinny in One Year (http://astore.amazon.com/ournatlif-20/detail/1591138043). Eventually he started his blog and podcast and is now a full time advocate for the low-carb lifestyle. He now has a second book that shares what he has learned titled, 21 Life Lessons from Livin' La Vida Low-Carb: How the Healthy Low-Carb Lifestyle Changed Everything I Thought I Knew (http://astore.amazon.com/ournatlif-20/detail/1439262225). If you want further information about this low-carb lifestyle and would like to get started, Jimmy recommends Dr. Robert C. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (http://astore.amazon.com/ournatlif-20/detail/1590770021) and/or The New Atkins for a New You: The Ultimate Diet for Shedding Weight and Feeling Great (http://astore.amazon.com/ournatlif-20/detail/1439190275) by Eric C. Westman. In our podcast interview ONL062, Jimmy candidly answers questions about the support he received from his family, his struggle with sugar addiction, the most important lessons learned, and his dismay with government guidelines for dietary needs (http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/2010-dietary-guidelines-announced-still-carb-heavy-and-fat-phobic/8251). If you have not subscribed to Jimmy's newsletters and podcasts, you are missing out on some great information and entertainment. I love to listen to his show! He has so many great guests knowledgeable about holistic health, weight loss, heart health, and nutritious eating. To get started, I highly recommend episode #372 with Ann Marie Michaels (http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/%E2%80%98livin%E2%80%99-la-vida-low-carb-show%E2%80%99-episode-372-bloggeranza-week-2-continues-with-ann-marie-michaels-from-cheeseslave/8340) aka CHEESESLAVE (http://www.cheeseslave.com/) and founder of the Real Food Media (http://realfoodmedia.com/) group we are affiliated with.

They are ignoring their soy-free rations in favor of frog eggs and polliwogs in the pond. They're really getting a workout and strengthening their legs and wings with swimming, "running" on the water, and diving. The field fence is up, and we're looking at some ewes this weekend. Our sheltie, Nicky, is suffering from the heat and became dehydrated. He is spending a day or two at a nearby animal hospital for IV treatment and monitoring. Lucy and Belle inherited one of the duck pools and have been digging dusty nests to keep cool in the 100 degree June heat. Time for more rain! I've attended two of our local farmer's markets and found great treats both in Washington, Georgia and Anderson, Jon and Cathy Payne no 57:38 ONL055 The Liberation Diet http://ournaturallife.com/blog/2009/11/onl055-the-liberation-diet/ http://ournaturallife.com/blog/2009/11/onl055-the-liberation-diet/#comments Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:32:19 +0000 Cathy R.

In this show we turn the diet experts on their heads. Annette Presley, co-author with Kevin Brown of The Liberation Diet (http://www.liberationdiet.com/) , refutes the mainstream doctrine of weight loss and promotes the eating of real, traditional foods. Annette Presley RD LD NSCF-CPT is a dietician, personal trainer, and adjunct professor. She purports a return to the diet our ancestors ate before the advent of processed foods. The Podcast can be found on the link below or downloaded from iTunes, Zune, or Stitcher. (http://www.OurNaturalLife.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/51VS7K9HJWL._SL500_AA240_.jpg) (http://www.OurNaturalLife.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/images4.jpg)Would you like to eat real, fat-filled, natural foods such as butter, eggs, steak, and coconut oil and still lose weight and regain your health? The Liberation Diet, like Sally Fallon and Mary Enig's Eat Fat, Lose Fat (http://astore.amazon.com/ournatlif-20/detail/0452285666) , states that you can. Their claims are backed up by many readers who have done just that. This "diet" does not include counting calories, and is safe and healthy enough to adopt for a lifetime rather than a temporary fix. Acceptable foods include nutrient-rich bone broths, organ meats, fresh vegetables, and small amounts of fruit and soaked grains. The book has a very easy-to-read style full of interesting historical facts. It is very accessible to the average reader. (http://www.OurNaturalLife.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/images-21.jpg)I'm sure it will spark some controversy. Please feel free to leave your comments! For many of you, the diet might seem very strange or difficult for you to implement, as it involves avoiding processed foods. For Jon and I, this kind of eating is part of our daily life. When we stray from this, our body soon reminds us to return to healthier habits. For breakfast this morning I made organic (traditional but not local) coffee with raw heavy cream from grass fed Jersey cows, some local bacon from pastured pigs, and a lightly scrambled egg from local pastured heritage hens topped with chevre made by a local farmer from raw Saanen goat milk. I chased it down with a cup of raw goats milk. This is a typical breakfast in the Payne household (lucky us!) and one that would be endorsed on The Liberation diet. With this high fat, normal carb meal, there are no spikes in insulin so I can get by without snacking for the next 5 hours until lunch. Worried about cholesterol? Listen to the interview with Chris Masterjohn (http://www.ournaturallife.com/blog/?p=317) on cholesterol facts and myths. Wise Traditions Conference I've heard from several of our listeners who are going to the Wise Traditions Conference in Illinois next week. I'm so sorry Jon and I won't be joining you! Jon will be tied up in business meetings all week and I'll be teaching. We're hoping that next year circumstances will allow us to join you - in Maryland, I think. I'm sure you'll network with some wonderful people and learn a lot. And eat great food! A Listener's Suggestions As you know, we enjoy receiving email, facebook comments, tweets, and phone messages from our listeners. We like to know what you like and what you want to hear more of. I want to thank the listener, whoever you are, who recommended us to Jimmy Moore (http://www.livinlavidalowcarb.com/). He is now recommending us to his listeners and we have several new facebook fans. I think Jimmy would endorse Annette and Kevin's diet plan. Margaret Auld-Louie with Optimum Choices (http://www.optimumchoices.com/) recently wrote to us with suggestions about our sound quality. We pride ourselves on doing the best job we can with our available equipment. We'd love to purchase a phone bridge to give you a better listening experience. By leaving us a tip in the tip jar or shopping from our affiliate pages, you can support us in continuing this Podcast. Thank you, Margaret, for starting the contributions.

We’re a bit behind on updating the website and delayed in uploading our first show. My beloved mother passed away on June 18th, suddenly and peacefully, at age 80. Jon and I were alone with her as she made her transition. I feel like the wind has been knocked out of me, but life goes on.

Jon and I are on day 16 of our elimination diet. We have been avoiding foods that may be causing inflammation due to food sensitivities. Suspects include wheat, oat, and other gluten-containing grains, eggs, dairy products, peanuts, and sugar. The first few days we experienced detox symptoms which subsided around day 10.
