Moved To LivinLaVidaLowCarb.com/Blog

It took me a couple of weeks to work out all the kinks, but today it is official:

MY NEW BLOG ON MY OWN SERVER

I have enjoyed the WordPress format immensely and this new version of the “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb” blog will implement the WordPress tools on my own server. This move cost me a pretty penny, but it was worth every dime I am spending on it to make it happen. You’ll notice the new blog has some ads from sponsors on it which is something WordPress did not allow me to do on their format. I appreciate your continued support of those who support the work I am doing.

So come on over to LIVINLAVIDALOWCARB.COM/BLOG to join the fun. We’re gonna be there a while, so make yourself at home.

Phinney, Volek Headline 2-Hour Teleconference On Low-Carb Diets Coming August 14

Top independent low-carb researchers Dr. Stephen Phinney & Dr. Jeff Volek

Whenever you have the chance to hear some of the world’s best and brightest speak about a subject they are keenly interested in and have studied for many years, then you’ll want to have a front row seat to listen to what they have to say based on their experiences. In the realm of low-carb research, we have names like Westman, Feinman, Vernon, Layman, and more. But two men stand out above all the rest for the incredible advancements they have made looking at carbohydrate restriction over the past few years–Dr. Stephen Phinney and Dr. Jeff Volek.

Dr. Phinney is as close to a rebel researcher as you will ever find. Professor Emeritus at the
University of California Davis, he is well-known for his studies looking at low-carb nutrition and metabolism, fatty acids, inflammation, metabolic syndrome and obesity. I’ve had the privilege of hearing him speak on several occasions at Nutrition & Metabolism Society events like this one in Phoenix, AZ earlier this year over the past couple of years and the man is brilliant. He also hard to catch as I’ve been working on having him appear on my podcast show since its inception. We’re still working on it.

Dr. Volek is another rebel with a cause for sharing genuine science behind carbohydrate restriction as it relates to exercise, nutrition, weight loss, and dieting. He is an Associate Professor at the University of Connecticut and co-wrote the fabulous low-carb workout book The TNT Diet with Men’s Health editor Adam Campbell. His studies over the past few years have been groundbreaking to say the least, including his finding that people who consume more saturated fat in their diet have lower saturated fat in their blood than those who eat less saturated fat. It’s counterintuitive, but that’s what the data is showing him!

In light of that recent study published in the July 18, 2008 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine that found low-carb diets produce more effective results in weight loss and cholesterol profiles, Atkins Nutritionals is hosting a teleconference call to have Dr. Phinney and Dr. Volek comment on the latest evidence behind the Atkins diet. Atkins Nutritionals VP of Education and Nutrition Communication Colette Heimowitz, who will be my guest this Thursday on “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” will moderate the teleconference and briefly discuss the benefits of the Atkins Nutritional Approach. Dr. Phinney and Dr. Volek are both members of the Atkins Science Advisory Board.

Here’s the info on teleconference and how YOU can participate:

DATE: Thursday, August 14, 2008
TIME: 1:30-3:30PM EST
HOW: Click on this link
WHAT: Dr. Phinney and Dr. Volek will be sharing the scientific history of the low-carb diet as well as their ongoing research and highlights from some of the upcoming studies that continue to support the overall health benefits of diets with reduced levels of carbohydrates. After the Atkins diet was introduced to the public over 35 years ago, more than 50 studies have emerged supporting its principles and the science has demonstrated that a diet with reduced levels of carbohydrates, which encourages the consumption of protein, green leafy vegetables, and fats, is a sustainable way to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight while reducing risk factors for lipid profiles and lowering risk factors for diseases such as diabetes and obesity.

Some of the key topics that Dr. Phinney and Dr. Volek will address include:

* The Evolution of the Atkins Diet
* Myths and Facts of the Atkins Nutrition Approach
* Aboriginal low carb diets and history of safe use
* Maintenance of well being and physical performance following keto-adaption
* Beneficial effects of carbohydrate restriction on serum lipo-proteins
* Reduced relative and absolute saturated fatty acids in serum triglycerides during carbohydrate restriction despite greater saturated fatty acid intake
* Anti-inflammatory effects of carbohydrate restriction (with anticipated benefits for coronary risk, diabetes, and pulmonary function).
* Debunking the myth of “ketone toxicity” (separating “nutritional ketosis” from keto-acidosis)
* Micronutrient adequacy of carb restricted diets

LLVLC On YouTube (Episode 49): Low-Carbing On The Cheap Is Not That Hard

How do you eat a low-carb diet with very little money?

I’ve heard it so much over the years from people considering the low-carb lifestyle. It’s an excuse that people like to use against this wonderful way of eating that has helped me and others get our weight and health under control. You’ve no doubt heard it yourself–low-carb is too expensive! All those meats cost money and I just don’t think I can afford to do this diet.

In Episode 49 of “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb On YouTube,” Christine and I share some tips and ideas about how to low-carb on the cheap and show you it’s not really that hard to do at all. Low-carb isn’t all about meat as you well know, but even getting inexpensive meats isn’t difficult if you know what you are looking for. If I had a dollar every time somebody has told me they can’t afford to be on a low-carb diet, then I’d be a millionaire by now!

See how to low-carb on a budget in today’s video:
