La dee da dee da! It's another glorious day and even more prizes to share with you in my 3rd Annual Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Blogiversary Giveaway Contest. Are you getting excited about it yet? Well, you should be because there's an EXCELLENT chance you're gonna win something when I draw the winners next Friday. The entries are still pouring in from your fellow "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb" blog readers and I'm happy to see so many people getting in on the action. I CAN'T WAIT TO PICK THE WINNERS! :)
For those of you who HAVEN'T entered yet, let me offer one bit of advice about answering the questions for the contest--READ THEM CAREFULLY! The most missed answer has been a. followed by b. and then d. Nobody has missed c. or e. yet, so I guess those would be the "well duh" questions of the giveaway. Slowly read the questions and you shouldn't miss any of them. Just so you know, the people who missed questions were given a second chance to correct their answers. Everyone given a second chance has submitted the right ones. :)
CLICK HERE right now to enter the contest and take a look at all the prizes you'll have a chance to win here, here, here, and here.

91. PROTEIN POWER AUTOGRAPHED BOOK COLLECTION
You can't talk about livin' la vida low-carb in 2008 without mentioning the incredible work of Drs. Mike and Mary Dan Eades from Protein Power fame (check out my encouraging blog interview with them from 2006). They are both outspoken proponents of the low-carb lifestyle for weight and health management, so the winner of this prize will receive solid information about how to make this lifestyle change permanent. Autographed copies of some of the most popular Protein Power books will be included in this giveaway. THANK YOU for all that you do on behalf of low-carb living, Drs. Mike and Mary Dan!
Aquafina is an industry leader in the bottled water market because they are constantly creating innovative products for your healthy lifestyle. That's why I was thrilled to try their new Aquafina Alive products for myself. Lemme tell you...these are AMAZING! Satisfy is fortified with fiber, Protect contains essential antioxidants, and Energize contains caffeine and Vitamin B. I was pleased to see these are sweetened with Splenda and ACE-K (instead of NASTY-tame!) and they are a refreshing way to finish your workout or sipping throughout the day. The five winners of this prize package will receive a special limited-edition Aquafina Alive backpack filled with lots of goodies, including a long-sleeved t-shirt. THANK YOU Aquafina!
97. BLACKBERRY PATCH DIET SYRUP GIFT PACK
Nothing tastes better than freshly-made syrups that are created from real low-glycemic fruits with no added sugars other than the natural goodness that is contained within. That's the mission of Blackberry Patch, a gourmet Georgia-based company dedicated to delivering high-quality jams, jellies, and fruit syrups. I've personally tasted these for myself and they are far superior to any other sugar-free syrups that are on the market. My favorite part are the little chunks of fruit in the syrup which authenticate that these are made from real berries. The winner of this prize will receive the following syrups: Sugar Free Maple Praline flavor, Sugar Free Roasted Pecan flavor, No Sugar Added Wild Blueberry, No Sugar Added Whole Raspberry, and No Sugar Added Whole Blackberry. These are PERFECT as a topping on cheesecake, ice cream, and anything else you want to infuse with berry-liciousness!
98. EAT SMART NUTRITION SCALE
Have you been caught in the kitchen cooking with a food that you have no idea what the nutritional make-up is? Sure, we all have. That's why I was so happy to find out about the EatSmart Nutrition Scale and this gizmo is absolutely stunning for what it does. With the touch of a few buttons in only a matter of seconds, you can find out EXACTLY how many calories, carbohydrates, fiber and so much more are contained within a given food you are weighing. This takes the guess work out of what you are putting in your mouth and one lucky winner in my blogiversary will own one of these for themselves. THANK YOU to William from EatSmart for donating this awesome prize!
99. BIG GREEN EGG GRILL GIVEAWAY
When Christine and I attended the HPBA Expo in Atlanta, GA back in March, we came across what is arguably the most unique grill I think I've ever seen in my life. It's called The Big Green Egg and the porcelain shaped into a big green egg makes this grill stand out above the rest. And now you one of you will win a Medium EGG package (including the EGG grill, Nest, and a Bag of Charcoal--CLICK HERE to take a look at this beautiful grill!). What an INCREDIBLE PRIZE for one lucky reader! THANK YOU Big Green Egg!!!

We've all tasted tea, but have you have the new White Tea from LIPTON yet? First discovered in the Fujian province of China, this white tea product is plucked by hand from the tips of young tea buds before the leaves blossom to preserve the natural goodness of the whole leaf with a rich concentration of protective flavonoid antioxidants. No further processing takes place so it maintains its delicate flavor and a clear liquid color. The light taste of white tea blends well with the other natural flavors, like tangerine, peach or raspberry. Three of you will get to try the Peach Papaya flavor with five bottles of the LIPTON product to try for yourself. THANKS for your prize donation, LIPTON!

If you missed my podcast interview with him in February, then click here to check it out.

But why wait on that when there's already a company out there doing just that--Zevia! Available in natural cola, lemon-lime, and natural orange flavors, Zevia is committed to providing an all-natural diet soft drink that they think you'll enjoy without the use of any artificial sweeteners. Each winner will receive a 24-Pack Mixed Sample of Zevia to try for themselves.

My friend and fellow diet and health writer Charles Stuart Platkin (aka "The Diet Detective") recently started a new line of products that allow you to show off your food choices in a unique way. He calls them a FoodTee and they're really cute! That one with the broccoli with the caption "Veggin'" is one of my favorites, but you may find another one that suits your fancy.

Here is the second group of prizes in my blogiversary contest:
21. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "THE DIET DELUSION" 22. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "THE DIET DELUSION" 23. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "THE DIET DELUSION" 24. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "THE DIET DELUSION" 25. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "THE DIET DELUSION" 26. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "THE DIET DELUSION"
Unless you've been living on a remote desert island for the past year, then you've undoubtedly heard about the book Good Calories, Bad Calories by award-winning science journalist Gary Taubes. He spent over five years going back through the old research into the high-fat, low-carb diet hypothesis to find evidence that this way of eating was widely considered healthy before the high-carb, low-fat diet was forced on to our culture by a small minority who fooled the powers that be into making it the epitome of "healthy." GCBC was released in the United States in September 2007, but it didn't release in the UK until January 2008 under a different title--The Diet Delusion. These half dozen rare autographed copies of the British version of GCBC (the content is exactly the same between the two books) will be a great collector's item for anyone who is livin' la vida low-carb!
27. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "REAL FOOD: WHAT TO EAT AND WHY" 28. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "REAL FOOD: WHAT TO EAT AND WHY" 29. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "REAL FOOD: WHAT TO EAT AND WHY" 30. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "REAL FOOD: WHAT TO EAT AND WHY" 31. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "REAL FOOD: WHAT TO EAT AND WHY"
After interviewing Nina Planck for my blog in December 2007 about her fabulous book Real Food: What To Eat And Why, I just knew this would make for a great prize giveaway in my blogiversary. And Nina was kind enough to donate five autographed copies of her book for my contest. This is a book for people who believe it's time to reject the high-carb junk food that so dominates our culture in favor of more real, whole foods.
32. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "SLOW BURN" 33. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "SLOW BURN" 34. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "SLOW BURN" 35. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "SLOW BURN" 36. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "SLOW BURN"
Ever since I was introduced to Fred Hahn and his unique "slow burn" technique for bodybuilding, I have been a BIG FAN. While most personal trainers put their clients through agonizing amounts of physical torture by making them do endless repetitions and sets of weight lifting that are potentially harmful, Hahn has developed a better way to build muscle that is even more effective than those conventional measures. That's what The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution is all about and I'm pleased to offer five complimentary autographed copies of this book for the winners of this prize. But I have a special offer for people who live in the New York City area--Fred Hahn has agreed to offer a complimentary "slow burn" session at his Serious Strength gym located at 169 West 78th Street on the Lower Level in NYC. Just mention that you read about this on the "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb" blog and ask for Fred Hahn by name and you'll be able to train with Fred directly. How cool is that? THANK YOU for your generous offer, Fred.
37. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "THE PERFECT BODY DIET" 38. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "THE PERFECT BODY DIET" 39. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "THE PERFECT BODY DIET" 40. AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF "THE PERFECT BODY DIET"
It was so great seeing my friend Cassandra Forsythe at the ASBP/Nutrition & Metabolism Society conference in Phoenix, Arizona last weekend. This University of Connecticut doctoral student recently finished a book for Women's Health magazine called The Perfect Body Diet. As you know, Cassandra works with noted low-carb researcher Dr. Jeff Volek, so livin' la vida low-carb and a healthy intake of glucomannan (like shirataki noodles) is a big part of attaining the "perfect body" as she details in this fabulous book. Check out Cassandra Forsythe's blog by clicking here. THANKS for sharing four autographed copies of your book with my readers, Cass! :) I look forward to interviewing her about this new book very soon at my podcast show.

5. 3-PACK OF BACON SALT 6. 3-PACK OF BACON SALT 7. 3-PACK OF BACON SALT
What if you could make everything you eat taste like bacon? Yeah, baby! That's exactly what Bacon Salt is all about. Sure, you could fry up bacon as part of your low-carb lifestyle, but sometimes you don't have time to do that. This is when Bacon Salt can help flavor your beef, chicken, veggies--ANYTHING! Dash some on your cheeseburger for a bacon cheeseburger and throw some on top of your chicken Ranch melt for a bacon-y shot. Three readers will have the chance to try all three flavors--Original, Hickory, and Peppered.

They truly are the best-tasting low-carb chocolate bar on the planet and I am pleased to offer three prize packages for my readers to win and enjoy. The 3-pack includes one dozen milk chocolate, one dozen dark chocolate (my favorite!), and one dozen of my new "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Bar" made with raspberry dark chocolate (here's a YouTube video about my chocolate bar).

To complement what she is already doing with her book and speaking engagements, Phoenix recently started writing a blog which includes this amazing post damning the low-fat diet for "fueling" the obesity epidemic. You gotta love Phoenix Gilman and she was generous enough to donate 5 autographed copies of her amazing book advocating low-carb living entitled Diet Failure...The Naked Truth.

And her recipes are absolutely divine which is why I am glad to see that three of you will be able to savor these dishes for yourself real soon with this low-carb cooking classic!

DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY to win some great prizes as my way of saying THANK YOU for your support! These are some really cool low-carb items, so ENTER TO WIN TODAY and we'll announce the winners next week!
We'll start a new chapter in the life of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore" beginning on Monday. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for all that you have done, are doing and will continue to do committing yourself to sharing with everyone you know about the healthy low-carb lifestyle. Keep it up and NEVER GIVE UP!!!
The next installment of our growing by leaps and bounds YouTube video series is now online and today you'll have a chance to WIN a really neat FREE prize just for watching and commenting on the video. WOO HOO! If you haven't heard about the videos my wife Christine and I are making on YouTube yet, it's a new series we have called "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb On YouTube." This is an extension of the "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb" family to help spread the positive message of the low-carb lifestyle even further.
In Episode 6 today, I thought it would be important to discuss how to eat out when you are on the low-carb lifestyle. A lot of low-carbers erroneously think that their life has to change dramatically to the point that they can't go to a restaurant anymore when they start eating this way. Oh contraire, my dear, and today's video will share how you can stay committed to livin' la vida low-carb AND go out to eat, too! WOO HOO!
See where Christine and I recommend you go and NOT go while low-carbing:
Some of the better restaurants to visit when you are livin' la vida low-carb include Denny's, Ruby Tuesday, Hardee's, Golden Corral, Captain D's, Cracker Barrel, and The Cheesecake Factory (although pretty much ANY restaurant you can make your own low-carb meal). But there are a few places you probably should avoid: Olive Garden, IHOP (puts pancake batter in their EGGS!), Applebee's (although you CAN find ONE low-carbish meal if you play around with it), KFC, and McDonald's, just to name a few.
Leave a comment for Episode 6 and you could WIN $20 in FREE GIFT CERTIFICATES for Captain D's restaurants which recently added a healthy choices menu for you to pick and choose the grilled meats and veggies that suit your healthy low-carb lifestyle! YEAH for that! Watch the video, give feedback, and tune in to the next video to see if you were a winner!
See all of our other YouTube videos and comment on them, too:
- Promo video--A half-minute promotion of the new video series - Episode 1--Introduction of Jimmy & Christine Moore - Episode 2--What kind of fruits can you have on a low-carb diet? - Episode 3--What kind of veggies can you have on a low-carb diet? - Episode 4--What does a low-carber do for something sweet? - Episode 5--Why is fat so healthy for you on the low-carb lifestyle?
Special thanks to everyone who has subscribed to our YouTube videos and we just keep growing and growing in viewers each time we record a new video. We've been trying to do about one a week (which is a minor miracle if you knew the crazy busy schedule I am on right now!), so we appreciate your positive comments. Keep the feedback coming and let us know if there is a specific topic you'd like for us to tackle. E-mail us anytime at livinlowcarbman@charter.net.
What this gazebo needs is a new grill from Vermont Castings
Summertime is almost over now that it's August, but you still have a chance to win one of three very attractive Vermont Castings BBQ grills as part of their "Help My Backyard!" promotion. If you haven't entered yet, you STILL have time. But HURRY! :)
- 4-piece grilling tools with case - Grill knife - Skewer set - Vermont Castings apron - Grill mitt - Grill wipes - Vermont Castings recipe book
ENJOY your grilling accessories and good luck in the Vermont Castings grill giveaway contest. That's a good-looking gazebo you have and nothing would look better than an attractive brand new grill. :D
Here's what Mary wrote about her need for a new grill:
"We built this beautiful gazebo with the hopes of having great BBQ dinners al fresco. Unfortunately, the grill has not cooperated. First, the auto igniter stopped, then two of the three burners decided to quit working. And as a capstone event, the regulator became faulty causing the tank to look like a huge torch. We spent all of our money on the gazebo and really need a grill!"
HA, what a story! Go get 'em, girl! :)
There's still ONE MORE BBQ accessories prize package to give away in August. Here's how you can be eligible to win:
1. Enter the "Help My Backyard" contest by clicking here. 2. E-mail me your name, address (no P.O. Boxes please!), and telephone number so we can ship your prize to you if you are chosen as the winner. 3. Tell me which photo or video is yours, including what you submitted as your "Backyard Story." Attach it to your e-mail if you can.
Special THANKS to Vermont Castings for donating these prize packages for the readers of the "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb" blog. GOOD LUCK to everyone who has entered the contest. Happy grilling!
When I wanted to celebrate my two-year anniversary at my blog back in April, my goal was to find lots of great prizes from businesses that support livin' la vida low-carb to use as giveaways in a special contest for my devoted readers. But not in my wildest dreams did I ever expect to have an opportunity to give away a brand spankin' new deluxe grill to one of my lucky readers...but I did (check out who won it by clicking here)!
Just when I needed them the most, BBQ grill manufacturer Vermont Castings stepped up to the plate for me and delivered a home run with this gorgeous grill worth thousands of dollars. It was an awesome prize and I'm grateful for their generosity.
Guess what? They want to do it again, but even bigger and better this time! That's right, Vermont Castings is not giving away just one grill or even two grills. How about THREE FREE deluxe grills in a HUGE giveaway contest they are calling "Help My Backyard?"
Vermont Castings gives YOU a "Taste for the Best!"
This "Help My Backyard" contest is so so super easy to enter that I expect hundreds, maybe even thousands of my "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb" readers and podcast listeners to take advantage of this opportunity to get an amazing grill absolutely FREE! WOO HOO!
Here's what you need to do:
1. Take a digital photo or video of your current grill that's on its last leg or your dismal-looking backyard. 2. Go register for the contest by filling out your contact information and upload a picture or video of your current ghastly grill or barren backyard (the funkier the better!). 3. Describe as vividly as your imagination will allow why YOU are most in need of a grill makeover. Don't make it drab and dry, spice it up and go hog wild (we're talking about winning a FREE GRILL here, people, so get noticed!).
That's it! Be creative with your sad sob story about needing a brand new Signature Series Grill from Vermont Castings and you could have an EXCELLENT shot at winning! Here's a closer look at those grills (your choice of style):
Additionally, each of the three top prize winners will receive a nifty customized grill cover and BBQ accessories kit as well as having the prestigious distinction of having a photo or video of them and their new grill in their backyard featured at MyOwnBBQ.com.
The winners of the "Help My Backyard" grill giveaway contest will be chosen from the entries that are the most original, funny, entertaining, and creative, with eye-catching explanations of how you will use your Vermont Castings Signature Series Grill and grilling accessories to transform your backyard into a grilling haven! You'll even get to rate the entries to see which one is most compelling.
Does this sound cool so far? I'm not done yet! :)
I've got three of those accessory kits to give away!
As a special added bonus exclusively for fans of "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb," Vermont Castings has given me THREE FREE BBQ ACCESSORY KITS to give away to three of you in June, July, and August. This prize package includes everything you see displayed in that picture above, including:
- 4-piece grilling tools with case - Grill knife - Skewer set - Vermont Castings apron - Grill mitt - Grill wipes - Vermont Castings recipe book
I'll be drawing the names of the winners on June 30th, July 31st, and August 31st. I bet you'd like to know how you can enter, huh? I knew you would. Here's how:
1. Enter the "Help My Backyard" contest as detailed above. 2. E-mail me your name, address (no P.O. Boxes please!), and telephone number so we can ship your prize to you if you are chosen as the winner. 3. Tell me which photo or video is yours, including what you submitted as your "Backyard Story."
The sooner you enter, the better chance you'll have of winning--so don't delay! What other blog gives you a chance to win grills, grills, and more grills as well as BBQ accessory kits, hmmmm? :D But you can't win if you don't enter the contest! Let's flood them with entries and show 'em how much low-carbers appreciate their generosity donating these amazing grills and accessories!
After all, grilling is next to godliness when you're livin' la vida low-carb!
When I decided to celebrate my two-year anniversary at my blog (which I commemorated on April 21st) throughout the month of April with a special giveaway contest, I had no idea that so many companies would be as incredibly generous as they were. WOW! Those prizes are absolutely amazing! I wish I could win some of these prizes! :D
Then, the response from so many of you to participate in my contest was overwhelming. Although a few people complained that the scavenger hunt questions were too hard (um, they could have been MUCH more difficult than they were), most people did swimmingly well with them without a hitch. Of course, my hints were helpful to those who struggled. These aren't cheap-o prizes, so you oughta have to work just a little bit to earn them, right?
One of the most interesting part of the contest was reading about which low-carb plan my readers who entered the blogiversary contest were following. There was one clear-cut winner by an overwhelming percentage--ATKINS!!!
The results of this unscientific survey may be shocking to the media and the so-called health "experts" who think nobody in their right mind is following the Atkins diet anymore. WRONG-O! The results speak for themselves--TWO-THIRDS of my readers are on that particular low-carb plan. Get that through your thick heads all you naysayers!
The other low-carb plans are good, too, but this just goes to show you why the antagonists continue to rail against the Atkins nutritional approach. It is still VERY popular and for good reason--IT WORKS! That's it, pure and simple.
Entries into my contest came from 47 of the 50 U.S. states and I even had one entry from Brampton, Ontario in Canada (and that person won a prize, too!). Predictably, California led the pack with the most entries because they are the largest state by far. But the states represented below them were a bit surprising as you can see for yourself:
1. California 2. Minnesota 3. Washington 4. Missouri 5. Michigan 6. Iowa 7. Texas 8. North Carolina
Even in my home state of South Carolina, I only had one entry from a dear lady in Greenville, SC (and she happened to win a prize, too!). THANK YOU to everyone who participated and I want you to know how much I appreciate your readership and involvement in what I am doing at my blog.
I'll let you know right now that everyone who entered the contest is gonna receive something in the mail from me soon. Even if you won one of the many outstanding prizes listed below, you will get this prize, too. It's the least I could do to reward you for taking time out of your busy schedule to look up the answers to my questions and submit your entry. The prize isn't anything fancy, but just a small way for me to show my appreciation to you.
I know what you're thinking...GET ON WITH IT ALREADY! Okay, okay, I know you want to know who won what, so let's do it by the list of prize bundles first and then the GRAND PRIZE winner of that amazing Vermont Castings grill will be announced at the end.
