In Episode 34 of “Low-Carb Conversations With Jimmy Moore & Friends,” we are excited to have an awesome line-up of special guest friends joining us to talk about some of the news of the day related to low-carb and health. First we have a mom of four beautiful little girls named Kendall Kendrick from the “Primal Balance” blog who understands the vital importance of Paleo/low-carb living. She’s joined by Tim Young who was inspired to start up a brand new blog just this week about his his Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) health condition called “Unseen Menace.” In this episode, we discuss the 200-pound third-grader who was removed from his parents and placed in foster care, a column that attempts to explain why going on a low-carb diet is a “bad idea,” and some mouthwatering low-carb recipes to tickle your fancy in the kitchen. My co-host Mindy Noxon Iannotti and I had an amazing time chatting it up with Kendall and Tim and invite you into the conversation. ENJOY!

Listen to Kendall Kendrick & Tim Young share their thoughts:

  • The infamous Jessica Biel video on her diet
  • How the media makes carb-eating seem normal
  • Kendall’s foray into primal living as a parent
  • Her “15 pounds of baby weight” that she struggled with
  • How she ate local and organic, but it wasn’t enough
  • Her husband was a “heart attack waiting to happen”
  • The concern for his health led them to the Paleo diet
  • Her initial skepticism of Paleo because it’s grain-free

  • How her 10-year old’s friends want her to cook for them
  • Tim’s Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) health condition
  • How the “No Starch Diet” helped “turnaround” his health
  • His 40-pound weight loss eating this way
  • How he discovered low-carb and educated himself more on it
  • Why he doesn’t “play around” with “safe” starches
  • How he determines whether a food has starch in it or not
  • Why he can consume disaccharides in sugar, but not starch
  • “Ohio puts 200-pound third-grader in foster care”
  • Mindy’s “mind-numbing” reaction if this is “abuse”
  • Whether all obese kids should be put in foster care
  • Kendall “beat (her) head against the wall” over this
  • Her concerns over the government calling pizza a veggie
  • What kind of diet will the foster parents feed the child?
  • Her story of the kid with the big soda and bag of chips
  • Where we go from here to help educate families eat better
  • How it’s difficult not to gawk at grocery store carts
  • Whether feeding kids carbage is “abuse” or not

      Hi Jimmy, as a M.Sc. in Biology I have to note that the article “Why low-carb diets are a bad idea” contains a severely wrong assertion:
       ”First off, Taubes denies the first law of thermodynamics, asserting that weight loss is not about calories in vs. calories out. [...] Fact: regardless of what your diet is composed of; if you are in a caloric deficit, you will lose weight. [...] but if you take in more calories than you burn, you will gain weight.”
      Actually: NO. The author is ignorant about the second law of thermodynamics, which informs us about irreversibility and dissipation of thermodynamic systems. In the context of nutrition, this calorie-is-a-calorie paradigm has already been refuted. More precisely, the opposite of this popular claim is correct, quote from the scientific literature:”[...] ironically the dictum that a ‘calorie is a calorie’ violates the second law of thermodynamics, as a matter of principle.” (Feinman & Fine, Nutrition Journal, 2004 3:9).

        That author had a LOT of wrong assertions…thanks for pointing this one out. :)

          Yes, there were many.
          Personally, I like to either go with the hard facts, which in terms of low-carb diet is looking at pure outcome studies (LCHF vs. other, continously evaluate weight loss or other outcome variables) or think through the theory. The latter one is only possible if the theory (including all relevant biochemical processes, quantitatively, in vivo) is available, which is not the case. This is not uncommon in science — usually the causality is long seen before the mechanisms are fully understood.
          Furthermore, as a biologist, I’m also familiar with natural observation, which means that a non-judging, curious and enquiring observation may help as a first advance into unknown systems. This natural observation with regard to LCHF is case reports from individuals, which seem overwhelmingly positive and show unexpected consequences, such as the single case of remission of a previously 53-year-lasting schizophrenia by simply omitting carbohydrates (Kraft & Westman, Nutrition & Metabolism 2009, 6:10).

          BTW, thanks for the blog, it’s great food for thought.
