‘Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show’ Episode 225: ‘Diabetic Warrior’ Patrick Lecky– ‘Status Quo Not Doing Us Any Good’


Patrick Lecky says you can fight diabetes and defeat it for good

Millions of people are living with Type 2 diabetes today and have no idea that their condition could be clinically CURED by implementing the kind of low-carb strategies that Adam Campbell wrote about in Men’s Health magazine in November 2006. But with the American Diabetes Association (ADA) telling diabetics they can be on a low-fat, high-carb diet and eat just about whatever they’d like as long as they take their diabetes drugs and insulin, the problem is never solved (while the companies making the insulin and prescriptions continue to get richer and richer!). That’s why I like the approach that my podcast interview guest today has used for over a decade to control the impact of his diabetes.

In Episode 225 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” you’ll hear from Patrick “The Diabetic Warrior” Lecky who is a strong proponent of a low-carbohydrate “primal foods” nutritional approach for keeping blood sugar and insulin in diabetic patients under control naturally. Patrick has written a series of e-books that discuss how others can learn from the wisdom he has gained over the years and he talks about them extensively during the interview, including his own personal diabetes story and why the low-fat, high-carb diet is the worst possible thing a diabetic can do to their health. You WON’T want to miss this interview if you or someone you know are dealing with this issue of diabetes!

Coming up next week, I’m pleased to share two exciting interviews with you from a couple of dear friends of mine doing fantastic work for the cause of livin’ la vida low-carb. On Monday, I’m so excited to share my interview with comedian and independent filmmaker Tom Naughton who has put together a hilarious, yet highly-educational documentary called Fat Head that is now available on Amazon. As I shared in my blog interview from December 2007, Tom was dismayed by the outright lies that Super Size Me creator Morgan Spurlock shared in his critically-acclaimed theatrical release that he wanted to do a rebuttal movie of his own that would be just as entertaining and informative from a low-carb perspective. That’s right, he went on a low-carb fast food diet for nearly a month with some outstanding and surprising (not to us!) results. Whet your appetite for this interview NOW by checking out Dr. Mike Eades’ blog interview with Tom from this week. Then on Thursday, we have a returning guest to the show named Karly Pitman from “First Ourselves” to talk about low-carb and Valentine’s Day (yes, it coming next Saturday!). We get into the emotional aspect of that day, what it means to people who don’t feel loved, and some practical tips for gift-giving for the low-carbers in your life. What a week it’s gonna be! THANK YOU for listening!

    I have been doing low carb for a while now. I have fallen off the wagon a couple of times, but have been back on for a while now with really good results as always. My husband had high blood sugar and my daughter was borderline and I have gotten them on low carb with me. My husband has come off his meds and my daughter has lost weight and feels much better. I want to thank you for spreading this message. I have had so many people tell me I am going to give my child heart disease by eating the way we do. No matter what I try to explain they just look at me really funny. I hold a master’s degree and am a teacher so you think that would hold some credibility, but people just believe what they have always been told. Wanted to also share this website.

    Thanks, Shannon

    THANKS for sharing your story, Shannon. I do believe we are on the verge of an awakening to low-carb living coming in due course. That link you provided is something I blogged about back in 2006 when that study came out about long-term low-carb heart health concerns being unwarranted. You keep on livin’ la vida low-carb and prove those naysayers wrong!

    Jimmy,
    Been on Atkins for just a tad over a year & had to switch docs due to insurance changes. My new doc tells me I’m not a diabetic any longer! I tell him I’m controlled, not cured, but as long as I eat this way guess he might be right!
    And that’s going to be forever!
    Hugs,
    Gracie

    That is so AWESOME, Gracie!!! You keep at it, girl!

    What all your guests have in common is the Oreo-free diet. The Diabetic Warrior won’t eat em because cave man didn’t. Johnson won’t eat em because of the HFCS. Ornish won’t eat em because of the fat and sugar. Taubes won’t eat em because of the flour and sugar. Same goes for all the other stuff in the supermarket that is made from sugar, fat, and flour.

    Cute, Peter, really cute.
