24 – To eat or not to eat candy cigarettes
(duration 14:39)
Paleolithic humans didn’t have access to all the carbs that we do today
…they’re not good for us, because our genes aren’t adapted to them
Short, intense exercise is preferable to long, intense (or even slightly less intense) exercise; and going barefoot is good!
Cavemen who walk among us by Katie Engelhart http://www2.macleans.ca/2010/02/26/cavemen-who-walk-among-us/
It’s hard to find healthy carb substitutes, aka low-carb breads and cereals and sweets
…such foods should only be occasional supplements to your healthy eating lifestyle

Ultimately, it’s important to know why you crave high-carb foods, and that requires introspection

(duration 43:00)
Jimmy joined us to explore his own health and nutrition journey as well as the wisdom of the low-carb lifestyle

Anybody can lose weight, so what matters is maintaining a healthy nutrition lifestyle for the long term
Sometimes carb substitutes with quality ingredients can assist in making your low-carb lifestyle satisfying
Low cholesterol is not necessarily healthy, and high triglycerides are not healthy either–both induced from high carb/low fat eating
Living the low-carb life is actually pretty simple, once you grasp the essentials of it
Blood tests are important to get baseline readings and to monitor your health progress
For instance, the NMR lipoprofile test and the VAP (Vertical Auto Profile) test are good ones
Vitamin D test (25 Hydroxy) is also important
more good info at http://www.grassrootshealth.net/
SIP (Silent Inflammation Profile) test is another test to consider
In addition to blood glucose testing, the A1C (glycated hemoglobin) test is useful for determining your (3-month) average blood glucose levels
Proper nutrition and diet is a great start, but psychological/emotional issues also need to be addressed during one’s journey to a healthy mind fit body
Regarding resistance training, try starting out with weight machines rather than the free weights; and, try a super-slow workout if you’re pressed for time!
While there is some disagreement over the details of what’s good for people, the essentials are pretty well understood in the low-carb community
Check out Jimmy’s new book, which has a wealth of insights and stories of his journey to the truth in health and nutrition:

22 – Sugar slumps, water intake, and Whole Foods mistake
(duration 14:58)
The sun brings us life!
Health Hype by John Stossel
http://www.libertyforall.net/?p=3837
Eating high sugar foods doesn’t necessarily induce hyperactivity; but beware the blood sugar swings
Lots of carbs require lots of insulin, which can lead to lots of unhealthy issues
Lower blood sugar typically leads to feeling in a slump and induces more carb cravings
Most kids are able to burn off excess carbs, even though such an eating regimen isn’t healthy
Foods also contain water; just make sure you’re adequately hydrated throughout the day

21 – Calorie counting and nutrition label bunk
(duration 21:53)
Most people have a hard time challenging conventional (and their own) wisdom about health and nutrition
Calorie counting and trying to burn those calories basically put you on the wrong track
9 Food Label Lies by Dan Shapley - http://www.thedailygreen.com/environmental-news/latest/reading-food-labels-470201-synd
Eating grains isn’t even necessary, so it’s not just refined flours that you need to eat less of
It’s best to go for whole foods, such as fruit rather than fruit juices
Be careful how many servings there are in that single container! Make sure to multiply the carbs per serving by total servings per container
The CSPI and the FDA are not up to speed with the facts and the truth

20 – Interview with Low Carb Lindsey

Instead of getting discouraged and continuing the cycle of yo-yo dieting, stay determined and focus on your long-term health goals
Sometimes, you’ll have to tweak your eating regimen in order to maintain your weight loss process; plateaus happen
You’re always just one meal away from getting back in the weight loss zone!
The “fat fast diet” consists of a thousand calories per day, with 90 percent fat and 10 percent protein; it burns fat off the quickest, but it’s certainly not something to do for very long, as it will lead to malnutrition.
The induction phase of the Atkins diet (usually lasting a couple weeks) consists of less than 20 grams of carbohydrates per day
There are vast differences between benign dietary ketosis and ketoacidosis, only the latter of which is harmful
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketoacidosis
It’s important to not let negative thoughts define you…
http://www.lowcarblindsey.com/_blog/blog/post/Words_are_Powerful!/
Focus on the things that you feel are positive about yourself and use them to strengthen your self-concept
Look to support groups on the Internet to learn new things, overcome difficulties, and help motivate you
Practicing self-acceptance helps you come to terms with your feelings about your self-image; own your feelings about how you look, in order to recognize your true beauty

It’s best to shop in the perimeter of the grocery store, because the inside isles contain lots of unhealthy carb foods

Even fast food can be modified to be a lot healthier (just cut back on the extra carbs, for one)
