Release date is Tuesday, but Jimmy has been interviewed on a number of the LC podcasts already about book. Just listened to Sean Croxton's interview, and Jimmy explains how to determine your individual Carb Tolerance using a glucose meter, and how to find your optimal Protein Level if you want to stay in Nutritional Ketosis. First half hour is general chit-chat, but some useful information about nutritional ketosis and what will be in book after that point.

Other podcast interviews: Ben Greenfield, Balanced Bites and BodyIO.

Jimmy has also been posting his Expert Interviews done for the book. The one with Dr D'Agostino was interesting about Ketogenic diets and cancer. Podacst and Link to his TEDTalk:http://www.thelivinlowcarbshow.com/...pert-interview/


Book is available for Pre-order, kindle and on iTunes. Description:

An update on the book release and more expert podcast dates. The book will be available in 17 test markets at COSTCO listed here. If it sells well in those stores, then Costco will expand to other markets. Plus the usual book outlets.

Moore interviewed a long list of well-respected LC/Ketogenic experts for this book, and their interviews which have much more information than could end up in the book, should be interesting. List of dates at link. Dr. Westman's interview will be on release day, and support group day, this Tuesday.

It's kinda funny. I remember back, a long long LONG time ago during his eventual evolution to a high fat approach, he considered people's advice to eat ketogenically to be bullshit (in so many words) because he at that time had considered only low-carb to be important. I guess we all come around.

If he changed his mind, he is with a very large number of nutritional science and fitness experts, who have as well, including many endurance athletes and doctors like Timothy Noakes.

We had a wonderful LC support group meeting last night, with Jimmy and other doctors visiting. Now have a signed copy of the book to read today, but from skimming, it looks to be a very readable explanation of how to do NK correctly. Twenty chapters, including one on the role of intermittent fasting while in ketosis. It includes a very Long list of scientific studies done on Keto, organized by many diseases, plus lists of other resources on ketosis, books, blogs, websites, recipes, menus, and calculators in the back.

Dr Westman's interview about the book posted today:http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/...interview/23186
First half hour is Moore reading excerpts from the AudioBook version. Interview starts at 30 min.

There is a chapter on the three existing options for testing ketones, pros and cons, and what the future holds. At the end, they note:

Plug in the grams of C, P and F you are consuming, and it estimates how Ketotic you are. Cool, give it a try.

The book is worth purchasing just for the long list of websites, books and other scientific studies related Ketogenic Diets. Thought I was aware of most of them but this ratio calculator and many others in appendix are new to me.


Can also get a sense of the book by listening to one of Jimmy's many recent interviews with all the usual health podcasters, the one with Mark Sisson is excellent: http://youtu.be/YXqApH0PyIk

This book has a number Of Keto recipes from various recipe bloggers, but the next book project planned is to be a cookbook with Maria Emmerich.

It also has a Meal Plan that eases you into eating one meal per day. Three meals, no snacking, first week, two second, and one meal third and following week as meets your needs and hunger.

I've only read a couple of chapters of Keto-Clarity, but it's a very good read.

Wow, love the keto-calculator (assuming it is reasonably accurate) - I look forward to adjusting my macros to see if I feel different or lose differently. Thank you once again JEY.

You beat me to it again, Turtle!
I was so excited to see Dr Georgia Ede break her long absence with a wonderful review of this book. She also wrote a companion post, Is the KetoGenic Diet Safe for Everyone? http://www.diagnosisdiet.com/ketogenic-diet-safety/?
She has a whole series on Ketosis planned, subjects at bottom of the book review, so I guess She's Back!!


Bummer Note on pg 69....



This note was after the section on how to determine your own carb tolerance level. Hint, start with 20g, start slowly to add 5 g more, test your ketones.

You both beat me to linking to Dr. Edes' post of this morning. I look forward to her future posts - it seems it's been a year since she last wrote. No doubt she has had some interesting insights.

On the quote about postmenopausal women, those of us in that life stage know it to be true, but I'm glad to see it in print. Let's stop pretending we are going to lose like 25 year old male body builders. And let's stop being disappointed when we don't. I think those of us on these boards know the truth, but I suspect there are many others out there who are still blaming themselves for not working hard enough, being rigorous enough, etc.

Interesting that Jimmy's book is ranked so highly. Is there really THAT much interest in eating ketogenically? I think of myself as the Healthy Fringe - am I going to become a part of the Healthy Majority? I can't imagine....

I happened to find myself on carb-sane's recent blog where she 'discusses' the Sisson-Jimmy Moore podcast about Jimmy's new book, 'Keto Clarity'. As usual, she attacks Jimmy, keto diets, paleo, et al.

She certainly seems to know a lot of biochemistry, and I confess her chemistry entries are above my head. What I can't figure out is what she is in favor of, what she advocates. I once wandered all around her site trying to figure out what she was proposing, but I couldn't figure it out. She is obviously opposed to low carb diets, in every form, and seems to absolutely loathe people like Taubes, Moore, etc., but as far as I can tell, never explains what it is she is in favor of.

So is she just an attack dog, or does she ever recommend a healthy/weight loss diet? Anybody figure her out?

The best I can figure out is she tried low carb and it was not a panacea. I can't imagine wanting a guarantee that a specific approach would work, but I get the impression that is what she wants. Sometimes if I need some controversy and drama in my life, I will take a look at her blog, but like you can't find anything productive there. I end up shaking my head and moving onto another site.



As far as Jimmy Moore changing his mind on ketogenic, I think we all change. I've been eating 65-70% fat for a long time, assumed I was ketogenic. After reading his book, I now have my doubts. He also apparently said at one time he'd never fast; it's now a major part of his success. I've long thought that changing one's mind is evidence that you have one.

Her schtick these days is to pester people on Facebook and Twitter until they tell her to eff off (some have done so literally, such as Robb Wolf), then complain that she's being shunned. I place her in the same camp as Richard Nikoley--at one time both of them were interesting, but Evelyn seems to have gone crazy and Richard fancies himself a libertarian anarchist and the Father of Resistant Starch. Evelyn's hatred of Jimmy Moore goes back to the Kimkins days, she's been consistent on that point.

This!
Of course, people who are always right call it "waffling."

I just finished this book. Loved it. I have maintained a LONG time and I've taken a lot of 'crap' (from friends, relatives, doctors, etc.) about the way I eat. Plus many asking me why I would be able to maintain while they couldn't, even without any cheats.

I think the book just let me know how and why I'm able to do that. There are days I eat no vegetables at all...heck, there's WEEKS where I eat no veggies at all, lol. And many days I am down to one meal, but totally satisfied. All this time I've said I eat 'low carb' but obviously...I eat a ketogenic diet.

I don't feel like the 'odd person out' so much now, lol. I guess I'll buy a copy of the book (I got it on Kindle) to keep in my purse to hand to naysayers..here I am, disabled, most people with my genetic disease and my autoimmunes are dead, or dying...my lipid panel is stellar, I don't use a lot of pain meds, although I have two very painful conditions, and yet I have doctors (not 'my' doctors...lol they KNOW) who will chastise me and tell me I NEED vegetables and fruit!

I actually have her blog on my RSS feed, though I admit I go there seldom. It's too painful, but every now and then I just have to take a peek at what's going on there.

Yeah, she really has it in for Jimmy. I think some of it dates back to when she was on his forums, and I believe he had some of her posts deleted, had her banned or some such - but she has expanded that to anyone who is an LC "guru". I have to confess that all the chemistry she throws out is way over my head, though she and her sycophants all crow over how it shows the horrors of LC eating, and proves that anyone who would ever eat that way is incapable of rational thought. She has all sorts of folks chiming in on her comments about how eating the LCHF way nearly killed them.

But as to what she *does* believe? I have no clue. I can't recall seeing anything on her site about what she feels the proper way of eating is. Clearly she must have abandoned LC but I don't have a clue what she personally eats now. She seems to be just a LC attack dog as far as I can tell, without presentling any other alternatives - unless I've missed it. But even though I don't read all her posts by any means I do tend to scan all the titles as I buzz through the RSS feed, and sure can't recall any actual recommendations.
