'Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show' Episode 36: Low-Fat Expert Agrees Low-Carb Is Effective

We'll conclude this special edition of my podcast show this week with Episode 36 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore." This is Part 2 of a teleconference call about the now infamous JAMA study showing the Atkins low-carb diet was best among all the diets after one year. It's a little long, but worth every minute to listen:

Picking up right where we left off in Episode 35, we get even more debate featuring the commentary of such low-carb experts as Dr. Mary Vernon, Dr. Eric Westman, Dr. Gil Wilshire, and others in Episode 36. Plus the sound quality of Part 2 is a million times better than Part 1 was, so be sure to listen to this one from start to finish.

Special thanks to RevolutionHealth.com as well as my fellow bloggers Laura Dolson, Kate Welch, and the always entertaining Dana Carpender who contributed to the call with their comments and questions. Also, I appreciate the professionalism by the host of the call Jason Rosenburg as well as the guests Dr. Michael Dansinger (who I will be sharing an interview with soon at my blog) and Dr. James Hill.

You will notice that Episode 35 is about twice as long as normal for my podcast show. Because I was out of town all of last week (and just got home off a red-eye flight this afternoon), we decided to split the recent teleconference call sponsored by RevolutionHealth.com into two parts and it features some low-carb luminaries that you may recognize in Part 1--Dana Carpender, Dr. Mary C. Vernon, and myself all got to ask Dr. Michael Dansinger and Dr. James Hill questions about the low-carb study that shocked the world recently. Tune in for the fireworks!

Let me apologize for the poor sound quality of the podcast. It was a recorded teleconference call with people calling in from all over, so the quality is only about as good as a bad phone connection. If you can endure through that, then it is well worth your time to listen and I'd love to know what you think. Provide your comments and state whether you are buying the argument by Dr. Hill that low-carb is only good for temporary, short-term weight loss.

Be sure to listen to the second half of the teleconference call on Thursday which will feature even more famous low-carb researchers and bloggers you will quickly recognize. I even get in another comment or two challenging this "temporary" argument head-on. Don't miss it!

Get In On A Low-Carb Teleconference Debate

The murmurings about this BIG STUDY coming out on Tuesday afternoon are getting louder and louder and it is putting the Atkins diet and livin' la vida low-carb back in the limelight again in 2007 (just as I've been predicting would happen as all this new research comes out). The actual study releasing Tuesday is embargoed until 4pm EST on Tuesday afternoon, but I will DEFINITELY be blogging about it at that time. Stay tuned!

But for those of you who have your own low-carb blog and/or web site, I'd like to invite you to an event on Tuesday evening at 7:30pm EST. It's a conference call with a debate about this new study and the merits of the low-carb lifestyle.

Two dietitians will be featured in the study Dr. Michael Dansinger, MD who was the lead researcher in the infamous Tufts diet trial from January 2005 and Dr. James Hill, PhD from the National Weight Control Registry and obesity expert.

After their brief debate, there will be a discussion from people invited to talk about this--and they've asked me to be on the call. Even better was the fact that they said I could invite all my rowdy friends to come on over as well. :D So, that's YOU and I want you to be a part of the fun if you can make it.

Send me an e-mail at livinlowcarbman@charter.net if you have a low-carb blog or web site and would like to take part in this teleconference call on Tuesday night. I'd be happy to let the call organizers know you are coming and send you the special telephone number to call as well as the access code.

Let me hear from you ASAP if you are interested in being on the call. There will be some BIG NAMES in the low-carb community on the line, so you won't want to miss being a part of the action. Plus, the event organizers have promised to make the audio of this teleconference call available to me afterwards which I will try to post here when it becomes available.

Get in before it's too late...join the low-carb teleconference debate!
