'Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show' Episode 122: Nutritionist Monica Reinagel Totally Gets It

Monica Reinagel laments the dietary monopoly that exists today

In Episode 122 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore", we continue with the interview I started on Monday with nutritionist Monica Reinagel from the NutritionData web site as we discuss the low-carb lifestyle and why it is such an important aspect of living healthy despite all the low-fat messages that pervade our society. She wrote a book called The Inflammation-Free Diet Plan and keeps up with all the very latest news in diet and health for the benefit of her readers. She's definitely a friend of the work I am doing and I'm honored to have had the opportunity to interview her at my podcast show.

What a great change of pace Monica Reinagel is from the rigidness that you usually hear from nutritionists who think that there is only one right answer as it relates to diet--low-fat. Monica knows better and is open to listening to what the research is saying. Although she laments the inflammatory properties of saturated fat, I'm anxious to see what she thinks about the research I'll be hearing next month at that Nutrition and Metabolism symposium on the healthiness of saturated fat. The good news is she will listen and draw her own conclusions based on the studies that have been done.

My interview with Monica Reinagel is finished now, so what is your impression of her and what she had to say? Don't you wish we had dietitians like her all across the nation? The state of weight and health in America would certainly be a whole lot different if more nutritionists would take the Monica Reinagel approach to doing their job. Talk about it in the show notes section of Episode 122.

We've got TWO MORE interviews to share with you next week--coming up on Monday, I'll be sharing an exclusive interview with Amy B about the continuing Kimkins scam that she recently decided to speak out against. It's quite a revealing interview that you WON'T want to miss. Then on Thursday, I'll be sharing an interview with fellow health and weight loss motivator Nicki Anderson from Reality Fitness who I have blogged about a few times before. Despite working in this industry for a very long time, Nicki is realizing just how detrimental carbohydrate is to our weight and health after reading Life Without Bread and Good Calories, Bad Calories in the past year. She's a fun person to hear from and you'll get that opportunity next week. THANKS so much for listening! :)

'Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show' Episode 121: Meet A Different Kind Of Nutritionist--Monica Reinagel

Nutritionist Monica Reinagel talks openly about low-carb dieting

My history with nutritionists and dietitians while talking about the healthy low-carb lifestyle has not been a very good one. I've had my fair share of run-ins with them here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Yes, I've had my way of eating poked, prodded, and pranced upon by these self-righteous purveyors of their version of dietary truth for so long I was beginning to wonder if a right-minded thinking nutritionist even existed anymore.

Well, there's at least ONE. :)

In Episode 121 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore", we meet licensed nutritionist Monica Reinagel, M.S., C.N.S. who runs an outstanding diet and health blog called NutritionData. She is also the author of the fabulously original health book called The Inflammation-Free Diet Plan which outlines specific foods that are at the root cause of inflammation in the body. She discusses in her book and in my interview with you why you DON'T want inflammation and what foods you can eat which are least likely to be inflammatory (and it might just surprise you!).

Most nutritionists like to check their brain at the door whenever an honest discussion of livin' la vida low-carb ensues. But not Monica Reinagel. She's honest about what the research is showing regarding low-carb diets and quite frankly it is all over the board. Rather than follow what most of her colleagues do in roundly dismissing low-carb diets as a "dangerous fad" with "no long-term proof" that it is healthy, she instead challenges people to do what will work for them in producing weight loss--even that dastardly low-carb lifestyle if it will produce the results for your weight and health. HOW REFRESHING!!!

Now that you've heard Part 1 of my interview with Monica Reinagel, what did you think? Are you concerned at all about inflammation--arguably one of the hottest health topics being discussed in the medical industry today? Does she make sense with what she's saying or is she just another nutritionist who doesn't get it? You tell me by leaving a comment in the show notes section of Episode 121.

You'll want to listen to Part 2 of my interview with Monica Reinagel on Thursday's edition of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore." She's a really neat woman to talk to and I appreciated her willingness to let me do the interview over again a second time after the file from the first one became corrupted. EEEEK! Monica graciously agreed to do it again.
