Low-Carb Conversations (Episode 39): Mark Jeacoma & Tina Langston Take On Deen, Diabetes And Weight Loss

TRY LIFESHOTZ–AN ALL-NATURAL SUGAR-FREE NUTRITION DRINK SUPPLEMENT:

NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: http://cmp.ly/3

In Episode 39 of “Low-Carb Conversations With Jimmy Moore & Friends,” my co-host Mindy Noxon Iannotti and I welcome in two more wonderfully awesome friends in the low-carb community to give us their thoughts and opinions on the health stories that are making news and screen them through the eyes of real low-carbers. Today we have Mark Jeacoma from “Primal Low-Carb” and Tina Langston here to talk about Paula Deen’s recent announcement that she has Type 2 diabetes, the misinformation that has been spread around out there about what causes diabetes (NEWSFLASH: it’s NOT the butter!), the New York Times column “The Fat Trap” by Tara Parker-Pope that says attempting weight loss is futile and Gary Taubes’ response to that column adding back in a bit of reality to the discussion. Plus, don’t miss our recipes at the end for delicious low-carb crackers and muffins made with flaxseeds! So pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee and let’s talk about it on the Virtual Porch gabbing away about the health headlines of the day from the low-carb perspective.

Listen to Mark Jeacoma & Tina Langston gab on the latest health headlines:

  • The strange looks Mindy received at a training program with her work
  • How she felt “a little bit like a freak” eating eggs and sausage
  • Mark’s brand new “Primal Low-Carb” podcast
  • He read a “little bit” about Atkins in 1998 when he was “huge”
  • How he gained weight trying to do low-carb on his own
  • Why we fool ourselves into thinking that we “know better” about diet
  • How low-carb podcasts got him back on the low-carb lifestyle again
  • He “lost” his path and was “lying” to himself about his diet
  • The Paleo diet was “the missing link” for him to make low-carb work
  • His excursion into eating organ meats like beef tongue now
  • Tina hails from New Zealand was battling with high blood pressure
  • How she ate high-carb, low-fat and focused on “healthy whole grains”
  • She read the Atkins book and “could really relate to it”
  • The documentary “To Age Or Not To Age” she saw that got her on low-carb
  • How she discovered she is a Type 2 diabetic and low-carb “reversed” it
  • “Paula Deen’s Golden Opportunity To Educate The Public About Diabetes”
  • Tina “never heard of” Deen, but says low-carb can help with diabetes
  • How the media all pointed to “that stick of butter” for her diabetes
  • Why Tina doesn’t watch her fat at all with her diabetes management
  • Mindy adores Deen’s “endearing character,” but this is “unfortunate”
  • How Deen claims she wanted to help diabetics…is it in a pill though?
  • Diabetes is a death sentence if you don’t change your lifestyle
  • How TMZ caught Paula Deen eating a cheeseburger and focused on the fat
  • “Politan: It’s not the butter, it’s the carbs”

  • Tina senses that “things are changing” in regards to low-carb
  • Mark notes that Deen’s son has a show called “Not My Mama’s Meals”
  • New York Times column “The Fat Trap” by Tara Parker-Pope
  • Mindy said this column made her “very depressed” from “hopeless” tone
  • Why these columns are futile because you discourage people from trying
  • Mark thought it was “a dismal article” and it “got a lot of traction”
  • Too many people “bought into it” and people “really believe it”
  • Tina thought this column was “rubbish” and was encouraged by Taubes’ follow-up
  • Response to “The Fat Trap” column by Gary Taubes
