'Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show' Episode 111: Find Out What CNN Left Out Of Their Phill Novak Story

Phill Novak lost 192 pounds, but it was MORE than just exercise

Did you happen to catch this CNN story on the weight loss success of a man named Phill Novak earlier this month? Their headline boldly stated "Weighing nearly 400 pounds, man walks off half his weight," but that wasn't the whole story. Buried right smack dab in the middle of that write-up about Phill's weight loss that was also featured in a two-minute segment on CNN was the fact that Phill did it following a low-carb diet. Yep, he's livin' la vida low-carb and lovin' it, too!

That's why I'm pleased to share with you an interview with Phill Novak in Episode 111 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore" to let him tell you about his homemade low-carb plan that led to his remarkable weight loss achievement. As you will hear during my interview with Phill, he was a little miffed they focused almost entirely on his exercise regimen while virtually ignoring how low-carb helped get him to where he is today--nearly 200 pounds lighter! Hear the rest of the story for yourself in today's podcast.

It's always exciting to talk to people who have traveled down this pathway to better health like I did because you KNOW what they've been through to get to this point in their life. For Phill, he was pushing 40 years old at the time and knew that it was do or die for him if this obesity monster he had allowed to grow and grow was gonna get under control. And to his credit, the weight came off and he feels better than he ever has in his entire life. You can't help but love this guy because he exudes the confidence and enthusiasm of someone who will never be the same again.

Weight loss is hard. DUH! With so many people going through the rigors of shedding the pounds only to have the weight come pouring back on with a vengeance in very short order, this is no way to live.

In Episode 110 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore" we'll take a look at how to help insure you will become the low-carb weight loss success that you deserve to be (and, no, it doesn't take willpower as we often hear). This method I've come up with is not anything monumental or mind-boggling, but very well could make the difference between failing yet again or experiencing a truly permanent lifestyle change.

Is weight loss for you just one big rollercoaster ride that you can never seem to have work for you? Do you wish there a way to FINALLY become that cherished success, but you believe it is impossible for you? Why do you think so many people fail at making their weight loss permanent? Talk about it in the show notes section of Episode 110 and let's kick this one around a bit. This goes to the very heart of why we are livin' la vida low-carb rather than simply going on a low-carb "diet."

Be sure to tune in to "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore" on Monday as we will be sharing an interview with a Pennsylvania man named Phill Novak who lost nearly 200 pounds by going on a low-carb plan and was recently featured in this CNN story regarding his weight loss. But, as Dr. Mike Eades wrote at his blog last week, there was very little mentioned about his low-carb nutritional approach and a ton of ink about his exercise routine. I'll be interviewing Phill to learn more about his low-carb plan and share that with you next week! SEE YA THEN!
