In the summer 2009, we had a massive meltdown of the podcast show's server, so we lost everything on the old site which is linked here in this blog post. The new web site is at http://www.thelivinlowcarbshow.com/shownotes and it includes all of the past episodes.

The book is so fantastic that adjectives fail me. It's the "Good Calories, Bad Calories" of exercise! <i>Well said! And in person he's a very compelling teacher of these concepts, too. --Jimmy</i> Finally finished the second (highlighter) pass through the book. The book is so fantastic that adjectives fail me.

Mon, 30 Mar 2009 07:39:39 +0000 http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/?p=4149#comment-15061 Fanastic guest and interview Jimmy! Went to Dr. McGuff's website and found a gem of an article, focused on women but with broader application, that gives a great detailed metabolic explanation of why this form of exercise works so well for the metabolic syndrome that is rampant is the U.S. today. Then he threw in some low-carb nutrition information, and packed it all up in the following concise nugget that could get anyone started instantly (and also describes what has worked for me): "Alter your diet so that you eat no grain-based carbohydrate: no flour, no sugar, no bread, no pasta, and no high fructose corn syrup. Then go to the gym and perform a workout of leg press, pulldown, chest press, row and overhead press. Lift slowly and smoothly but with as much effort as possible. Go to complete fatigue, or as close to it as you can tolerate. Work out once, or at most, twice a week. Make sure your workouts last no longer than 20 minutes. Then sit back and watch what happens. " I love this seven-sentence summary that is so useful for people who may feel bombarded with too much information. How could anyone follow even this simplified version he describes for two to four weeks and not be converted? Already ordered the book. <i>He's really on the cutting edge, Steve, and even more amazing to hear in person. I met him over the weekend and he said so much incredible stuff that I was just flabbergasted. --Jimmy</i> Fanastic guest and interview Jimmy!

I lift and possibly do it too often and with the wrong strategy if Doug is right(and he probably is right). I went right to the books store after listening yesterday, but they didn't have it. I see the main benefit with Doug's approach is that it totally removes the barrier to exercise. I understand not being able to do 2 hours per day of exercise, but 12 minutes a week? Everyone can make time for that!! The other benefit is with Seniors for sure. His method appears to avoid all chances of getting injured while providing all the benefits. I have my Dad, who lifts nearly every day but has hurt his shoulder lifting like I do looking into these methods big time. I see benefits for me too. If I can get better results, faster, with less time invested and with less risk of injury, why not do it? Great stuff. Keep up the great work. jeff <i>THANKS Jeff! This certainly does take away the "I don't have time" excuse many give. I'm going to meet Doug at a local book signing today. --Jimmy</i> Hey Jimmy,
