In Episode 83 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore," we discuss carbohydrates--GASP!--and their role in a low-carb diet--DOUBLE GASP!

The whole low-carb means "no carb" correlation that has been sprung on our culture by the health "experts" and their willing accomplices in the media has long distorted what truly healthy low-carb living is all about. While people who are livin' la vida low-carb do indeed eat LESS carbs (sometimes substantially less!) than the typical diet, the fact is we DO eat carbs. This will be news to many people.

But the point is our carb intake, which could range from nearly zero all the way up to 100g daily depending on the individual, is the norm while people who eat hundreds and even over 1000g carbs in a day (I regularly did prior to going on the Atkins diet in 2004) are on the extreme level of carbohydrate consumption. Now you tell me who's eating healthier--someone eating 50g carbs or 500g carbs? It's obvious, isn't it?
