Top 10 Low-Carb Movers & Shakers Of 2010

Jimmy Moore — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 01:03:34 +0000

A few years ago when my blog was online for just a few months, I wanted to find a way to recognize the people within the low-carb community who were having the greatest impact on behalf of healthy low-carb living on our culture. Thus was birthed my annual Top 10 Low-Carb Movers & Shakers where I give accolades to the people I feel are helping to advance the overall message of livin’ la vida low-carb the most. Yes, it’s a completely subjective list just as most of these kind of things are. While you may not agree with all of my choices or think there are people more worthy of appearing on this list, there’s no denying the influence that each of these people have made on low-carb over the past twelve months. The overall goal of making the message of carbohydrate-restriction more mainstream is being accomplished thanks to the efforts of the ten names you are about to read. Some are obvious and others may surprise you. But one thing’s for certain–these are my Top 10 Low-Carb Movers & Shakers of 2010 (in case you missed my lists from previous years, see who made it in 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, and 2005):

1. GARY TAUBES

It’s hard to believe “What if It’s All Been a Big Fat Lie?” was published in the New York Times Magazine more than eight years ago and that it’s been over three years since the release of his game-changing book Good Calories Bad Calories. But the continuing ripple effect within the medical community to the concepts shared in that book has been sensational and the influence of science journalist Gary Taubes is far from over. Thanks to the response he’s received to his popular lecture explaining why obesity exists along with demand for a more consumer-friendly version of the concepts he shared in his previous book, Gary is set to release his much-awaited Why We Get Fat And What To Do About It on December 28, 2010 (listen to my September 2010 podcast interview with him about this new book) which almost guarantees he’ll probably end up back on this list again in 2011. Gary has made it every year since the release of his book and he’s certainly a force to be reckoned with as long as he stays interested in spreading the good science supporting high-fat, carbohydrate-restricted diets. Oh, and one more thing: after lots of begging from his biggest fans, he’s finally got a web site!

2. DR. ERIC WESTMAN

Since the death of Dr. Robert C. Atkins in 2003, there has been a lot of blatant misinformation put out there about what the Atkins diet is all about. This was so unsettling to a group of researchers examining low-carb nutrition that they decided to work with the Atkins Nutritionals company to create a new version of the Atkins lifestyle that would reflect the most modern research. The fruit of that labor was the March 2010 release of The New Atkins for a New You: The Ultimate Diet for Shedding Weight Fast and Feeling Great (read my review of this book) by Dr. Eric Westman, Dr. Jeff Volek, and Dr. Stephen Phinney. While Volek and Phinney are doing some truly remarkable work on the research side, it’s the way Dr. Westman became the marketing face of promoting the new Atkins that landed him on this year’s list. He turned up everywhere on national and local television spots to newspaper and magazine columns spreading the message that eating fat is good for you and that you might not need to eat as many carbohydrates as has been recommended. It was a good year for livin’ la vida low-carb because of the efforts of Dr. Eric Westman (listen to my March 2010 podcast interview with him).

3. MARK SISSON

The primal/Paleolithic movement as a subset of the low-carb community has come on strong over the past couple of years thanks to the efforts of some charismatic leaders emerging with practical concepts to make it applicable in the 21st Century. Mark Sisson is at the head of the pack in this regard. He was one of my top podcast interviews of 2009 thanks to the dynamic release of his book The Primal Blueprint: Reprogram Your Genes for Effortless Weight Loss, Vibrant Health, and Boundless Energy which climbed to #2 on Amazon because of big push in the blogosphere in March. In July 2010, Mark released a follow-up companion cookbook called The Primal Blueprint Cookbook: Primal, Low Carb, Paleo, Grain-Free, Dairy-Free and Gluten-Free to help people who want to eat like Grok to find ways to incorporate deliciously healthy meals into their daily menus. Mark’s ingenuity in making primal living look cool and viable in modern times makes him a relevant voice in bringing low-carb living to the forefront of our culture.

4. DR. MARY VERNON

One of the most enthusiastic doctors supporting the use of low-carb diets with patients you will ever meet is Dr. Mary Vernon. Everybody loves this woman because you can’t help but be drawn in by her personality that exudes with confidence that low-carb is a great pathway to health. She has literally been the face of low-carb science amongst her colleagues at the American Society of Bariatric Physicians (ASBP) over the past few years with a specific set of lectures promoting the science behind carbohydrate-restricted diets. Her passion for educating doctors on the use of low-carb diets led her to begin Innovative Metabolic Solutions for doing just that. From their inaugural modules providing CME credit to physicians to the Summer Module Series, the fingerprints that Dr. Vernon is leaving on behalf of low-carb to medical professionals around the world is impossible to ignore. I have no doubt in my mind that a turnaround is coming where more and more physicians will want to identify themselves as a “low-carb doctor” and we’ll have Dr. Mary Vernon to thank for that! She was one of the special guest speakers for the 2010 Low-Carb Cruise and will be joining us again in 2011.

5. DR. JONNY BOWDEN

You’ll be hard pressed to find anyone in the low-carb community who is a more prolific writer than Dr. Jonny Bowden. He’s been pumping out about 1-2 books a year for several years, but none quite as relevant as the one he released in 2010. After releasing a book in 2005 called Living The Low Carb Life which detailed all of the major low-carb diets giving the highs and the lows of each, the perception in the publishing world quickly turned to viewing low-carb dead as a doornail by the end of 2005 (the book eventually went out of print because the publisher thought nobody would be interested in buying a book about low-carb nutrition anymore). But Jonny knew better as he watched blogs like mine rise in popularity out of nowhere along with the steady stream of research showing tremendous support for this way of eating (which he writes frequently about on his popular blog). He was finally able to convince his publisher to re-release the book under the name Living Low Carb: Controlled-Carbohydrate Eating for Long-Term Weight Loss with a few brand new chapters as well as more of the popular diets to add to the comparison list. Listen to my April 2010 podcast interview with him about this new book to see exactly how Dr. Jonny Bowden helped advance the cause of low-carb this year earning him a spot on this list.

6. ROBB WOLF

I’m gonna be dead honest with you–I’d never even heard of Robb Wolf prior to 2010, but he’s certainly come on like a roaring lion on behalf of healthy Paleo/low-carb living this year in a big way! This man lives and breathes the Paleo diet like nobody else I’ve seen on the planet and is an unlimited wealth of knowledge about anything and everything you could think of related to Paleolithic fitness and nutrition. He started his Q&A-based “Paleolithic Solution” podcast along with his buddy Andy Deas earlier this year which quickly became one of the top health shows on iTunes hovering near the Top 10 nutrition podcasts online today. Robb appeared on my podcast in May 2010 which was one of the most-listened-to episodes I aired all year. Then just last month, he released his book The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet (read my review of this book) which has done remarkably well currently in the Top 100 of ALL books sold on Amazon. Robb Wolf is a one-man marketing machine for promoting Paleo diets to the masses and I’d be a crazy man for leaving him off of this year’s Low-Carb Movers & Shakers list!

7. DR. ROBERT LUSTIG

The mostly unlikely person to land on this year’s list has got to be Dr. Robert Lustig. Ever since his lecture entitled “Sugar: The Bitter Truth” was posted on YouTube in July 2009, that presentation has gone completely viral showing up on Facebook pages, blogs, forums, and everywhere else in the low-carb community. I started getting requests from my podcast listeners to interview Dr. Lustig late last year and so I started pursuing it at the beginning of 2010. He initially turned me down stating very clearly, “I don’t believe in the low-carb lifestyle. But after discovering my show was about more than just low-carb and includes guests of all viewpoints, he agreed to appear on my podcast in July 2010. There’s a great possibility that Dr. Lustig and Gary Taubes will be working together on a book on sugar in the future where maybe, just maybe he’ll become more open to the principles of low-carb explicitly. Despite his reluctance to embrace the low-carb world as his own, there’s no doubting the tremendous influence he has made on it this year.

8. DENISE MINGER

One of the freshest new voices of reason in the increasingly insane world of health writing is none other than the lovely and talented Denise Minger from “Raw Foods SOS” who has made quite the name for herself in just the past few months or so taking apart bit by bit the conclusions made in Dr. T. Colin Campbell’s The China Study (considering the holy grail for the vegetarian/vegan movement). This former vegan-at-the-age-of-seven-turned-her-own-brand-of-eating that includes meat was a delightful podcast guest in late September 2010 getting as many listens as my interview with Gary Taubes. That’s pretty prestigious for someone nobody had ever heard of just six months ago! The low-carb community owes her a great deal of gratitude for taking the time to look at the actual evidence from the data presented in the China Study, analyzing it like a true scientist, and making logical conclusions that run counter to much of what Dr. Campbell passes off as evidence of a plant-based diet. There’s more than meets the eye and we have this 23-year old prodigy to thank for it!

9. DR. WILLIAM YANCY

One of Dr. Eric Westman’s colleagues at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina is a researcher named Dr. Will Yancy. Dr. Yancy is extremely interested in the science behind carbohydrate restriction and released a study in January 2010 published in Archives of Internal Medicine that found a low-carb diet is just as powerful a weight loss and health intervention as the best over-the-counter medication (Alli). He appeared on my podcast shortly after the study released to share the wonderful results with my listeners. You might have also seen the editorial response he wrote after that recent study claiming a plant-based low-carb diet is better for you than an animal-based one. The most amazing aspect of real scientists like Dr. Yancy is the fact that they let the evidence speak for itself and it’s speaking very loudly in support of low-carb living. We’ll be hearing a lot more from Dr. Will Yancy in the coming years!

10. DR. ANDREAS EENFELDT

The final member of the Top 10 Low-Carb Movers & Shakers of 2010 list is a man I am happy to call my friend although he lives halfway across the world from me. His name is Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt and his “Kosdoktorn” blog is the #1 low-carb blog in the world…and it’s written in Swedish! But this very tall but extremely cordial man is somebody that people in the English-speaking world need to pay attention to because he’s bringing the concepts of the low-carb lifestyle to people who would probably not otherwise hear it. In his homeland of Sweden, the LCHF (low-carb, high-fat) message is exploding and being delivered loud and clear to the people of that country because of the efforts of people like Dr. Eenfeldt. He has become much more actively involved in trying to bring that energy and excitement to the United States in 2010 attending our annual low-carb cruise, participating in various low-carb science conferences, and more. Plus, he’s getting ready to release a book on low-carb living in January 2011 with the possibility of it being translated into English sometime next year. Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt is a name you will become much more familiar with as his low-carb reach continues to expand.

Honorable mentions: DR. RICHARD BERNSTEIN, DRS. MIKE & MARY DAN EADES, LAURIE CAGNASSOLA, DR. RICHARD FEINMAN, DR. JOHN BRIFFA, JACKIE EBERSTEIN, DR. ANDREW WEIL, DR. LARRY MCCLEARY, GARY FOSTER, DR. WILLIAM DAVIS, DANA CARPENDER, ALAN WATSON, KEVIN BROWN, ADAM KOSLOFF, DR. ERIC KOSOFF, DR. RON ROSEDALE, DR. EUGENE FINE, DR. JEFF VOLEK, DR. STEPHEN PHINNEY, DR. JOE LEONARDI, SEAN CROXTON, CHRIS MASTERJOHN, SALLY FALLON MORRELL, DR. JOHN SALERNO, KENT ALTENA, LAURA DOLSON, TOM NAUGHTON, FRED HAHN, DR. KEITH & VALERIE BERKOWITZ, KEVIN KOSKELLA & WES BERTAND, DR. RON KRAUSS, DR. EUGENE FINE, AND DREW CAREY

I’ve had my say on who the most influential low-carb “movers and shakers” have been in 2010, but I’d like to know who you think is deserving of mention on this list of prestigious names. Don’t be bashful if you think I’ve missed somebody that should have been named among the best of the best in promoting low-carb living this past year. I welcome your comments and look forward to hear who YOU think is worthy.

‘Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show’ Episode 332: Duke Low-Carb Study Update, Dr. David Friedman From Chews4Health

Jimmy Moore — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 01:34:11 +0000

A couple of weeks ago I shared with you about a low-carb vs. low-fat plus orlistat weight loss drug study from Dr. William Yancy from Duke University. The headlines all highlighted the blood pressure improvements found in the research, but the take-home message to me was that the low-carb nutritional approach was just as effective for weight loss and health improvements as the most powerful prescription medication on the market today. I wanted to have Dr. Yancy come on for a mini-interview to discuss this study that was published in the January 25, 2010 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine. Hear him share about the various weight and health improvements seen by the study participants in each group, his frustration regarding the media coverage of his study, why poor adherence to the diet was not discarded in this study, why he used a ketogenic low-carb diet without calorie restriction, and what he hopes the take-home message of his research will be. Special thanks to Dr. Yancy for bringing us this quick update on the latest published low-carb study!

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

Dr. David Friedman wanted to provide a chewable source of vitamins

A lot of us low-carbers take vitamins as part of our health regimen, but are they really being fully absorbed into our bodies? We’ve seen the pills, the liquid versions, and the like taken by millions of people seeking to be healthy. And yet does it really work? Are we getting all the nutrients absorbed into our bodies that we should be? Today’s podcast interview guest certainly doesn’t think so and he’s here today to share about a product he has helped develop that solves the problems associated with traditional vitamins.

In Episode 332 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” we hear from entrepreneur and chiropractor Dr. David Friedman who founded a company called Chews4Health. He compares how vitamin pills were like the cassette tape, liquid vitamins were like the CD, and chewable vitamins are like an MP3. Hear Dr. Friedman share about what is happening with pills when they are improperly digested by the body, the difference between synthetic nutrients and whole foods, why manmade vitamin C causes cell damage, the super-fruit complex, sea vegetable blend, super antioxidant mix including alpha lipoic acid, and fruit blend used in Chews4Health, and why this product should be handled just like you would a fruit or vegetable.

Duke Researcher Pits A Low-Fat Diet Plus Orlistat (Alli) vs. A High-Fat, Low-Carb Ketogenic Diet

Jimmy Moore — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:04:16 +0000

Duke University School of Medicine researcher Dr. William Yancy

Brand new weight loss methods are introduced to the general public each and every year and people are left to their own devices wondering how to decipher the differences between the good and the bad. With slick marketing claims like “scientifically-proven” and even “FDA-approved,” Joe and Jane Consumer out there doesn’t know who or what to believe. One of the most heavily-promoted diet concepts to hit the American market in recent years is the weight loss medication called orlistat, commonly known as and sold commercially as Alli. Maybe you’ve seen television commercials like this one:

In the marketing pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline created to market their “miracle” drug for weight loss, you heard them boldly proclaim that “Alli is proven to help boost your weight loss by 50 percent.” PROVEN? By what? Just because the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has approved it to be sold as an over-the-counter medication (keep in mind, this is the exact same FDA that says low-carb diets are “sheer nonsense”)? That’s hardly proof of anything. And you never hear anything about the nasty negative side effects of taking Alli as well as the rampant abuse of the drug all in the name of losing weight. It’s sickening to say the least!

How does a low-fat diet with Alli perform compared with a low-carb diet?

But what if we really did have proof from the scientific community that looked at whether or not drugs like Alli/orlistat along with a “sensible” low-fat diet outperformed by 50 percent other diets like a high-fat, low-carb one, for example? Well, now we do thanks to Duke University researchers who released a new study published in the January 25, 2010 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine. They wanted to compare the effects of a low-carb, ketogenic diet (LCKD) with a orlistat therapy combined with a low-fat diet (O + LFD).

Lead researcher Dr. William S. Yancy, Jr., Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of General Internal Medicine at the Duke University School of Medicine, observed 146 overweight or obese study participants from the Department of Veterans Affairs primary care clinics in Durham, North Carolina for 48 weeks and placed them at random on one of the two prescribed weight loss methods:

LCKD: Less than 20g carbs daily, unlimited meat and eggs, limited cheese, leafy greens, and non-starchy vegetables, no calorie restriction

O + LFD: Restrict fat to less than 30% of calories, saturated fat to less than 10% of calories, cholesterol less than 300 mg daily, calorie-restriction 500-1,000 kcal below weight maintenance intake, and 120 mg orlistat prior to meals three times a day

The average age of the study participants was 52 and their mean body mass index (BMI) was 39.3. Nearly three-fourths of them were men, over half were African-American, and just under one-third had Type 2 diabetes. A total of 57 members of the LCKD group (79%) made it to the end while 65 members of the O + LFD group (88%) completed the full 48-week study. This was the first time a direct comparison between these two weight loss protocols had ever been studied and the results were stunning!

Weight loss between the two groups was statistically identical while blood pressure levels had a more beneficial impact with the LCKD group. Although HDL cholesterol and triglycerides improved similarly among both groups, the O + LFD group was the only one to see an improvement in LDL cholesterol. However, the LCKD group saw improved blood sugar levels, insulin and HgA1c levels better than O + LFD. In the end, though, Dr. Yancy did not find a significant statistical difference between the two groups regarding the health and weight changes.

What does this mean for those claims that Alli/orlistat “is proven to help boost your weight loss by 50 percent?” It’s dead wrong! Even more compelling is the fact that the dosage of orlistat used in this study (120 mg) is TWICE as potent as what is found in Alli (60 mg). Imagine if the researchers has chosen to use Alli rather than the stronger prescription medication (Xenical) — it’s quite probable that the differences between the two study groups would have been even more stark in favor of the LCKD.

Interestingly, both groups shared specific adverse effects from being on their chosen diet. The LCKD group complained of constipation, increased urination, bad breath, and leg muscle cramps. The researchers note this underlines “the importance of combining intensive dietary counseling and medical management with these interventions.” Meanwhile, not surprisingly, the O + LFD group reported increased flatulence, loss of bowel control, and diarrhea. Neither of these issues caused a mass exodus from following the prescribed diet for the study as “adherence was high over the 48 weeks.”

The LCKD group consumed more than 55 percent of their calories from dietary fat, although the researchers noted that the actual amount of total fat consumed was “identical to their baseline diet.” Meanwhile, the O + LFD group found it necessary to lower their fat consumption in half because of the fat absorption blocking nature of the drug. Calories were naturally reduced on the LCKD while caloric intake in the O + LFD group were artificially lowered because of the orlistat.

I was curious to see how many carbohydrates the LCKD study participants consumed since most so-called “low-carb diet studies” do not come close to restricting carbohydrates enough to see real results. But I was pleased to see Dr. Yancy’s study participants consumed an average of 62g carbs per day, or 15 percent of their total caloric intake in week 48. This is huge since most of these studies comparing low-carb with a low-fat diet have participants eating upwards of 120-190g carbs daily, or 33 to 45 percent of their calories. Yikes! So this truly was a low-carb diet comparison study and the results against one of the most powerful weight loss medications to ever hit the market were virtually identical.

Don’t you think if you could produce similar weight and health improvements on a deliciously healthy high-fat, low-carb lifestyle change without having to shell out the $50/month cost for Alli as well as being forced to suffer through the hunger-inducing impact of a low-fat diet that you’d be more apt to do that instead? Of course you would. But don’t expect to see any television advertisements like the ones you’ve seen for Alli promoting livin’ la vida low-carb because there’s no money to be made from doing that. This is a grassroots word-of-mouth campaign that is gonna take the efforts of people like you and me who have had our lives changed forever for the better because of low-carb living.

Let Dr. William Yancy know how much you appreciate his research showing the low-carb lifestyle performing as well and sometimes even a little better than the most potent weight loss drug on the market today. You can e-mail him you personal thanks at yancy006@mc.duke.edu. Isn’t it good to know your low-carb life works as well as a prescription — without a prescription?!

A Low-Carb Lecture, The Latest Obesity Stats, And A New Online Research Library

Jimmy Moore — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 21:37:00 +0000

I have for you today three very practical links with excellent information to access, absorb, and fully acquaint yourself with as you continue to educate yourself about livin’ la vida low-carb and the impact it can have on obesity and healthy.

1. LOW-CARB PRESENTATION BY DR. WILLIAM YANCY

The Endocrinology Conference in the Duke Clinical Medicine Series has just posted this fascinating new Continuing Medical Education (CME) lecture given by Dr. William Yancy, Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina on June 15, 2007. Register for FREE and then check out what this leading low-carb researcher had to say about his research of livin’ la vida low-carb!

His presentation outline includes the following:

- The Use of Low-Carbohydrate Diets for Weight Loss
- History of Low-Carbohydrate Diets
- Trends in Macronutrient Intake & Obesity
- Low Carbohydrate Ketogenic Diet (LCKD)
- Example of 20g Carbohydrate Menu
- Diets, Carbohydrates, and Calories
- Low-Carb Ketogenic Diet (LCKD) Rationale
- The Role of Ketones
- LCKD vs Low Fat Diet: 6 Months
- Outpatient Low-Carbohydrate Diet RCTs: Weight Loss
- Joslin Diabetic Diet, 1923
- Effect of LCKD on Type 2 Diabetes
- Clinical Recommendations for LCKD
- MUCH MUCH MORE!

I’ve attended low-carb conferences in Brooklyn, NY and Nashville, TN over the past couple of years and I know this invaluable research is unknown to most non-medical people. Dr. Yancy was thorough and offer quite an eye-opening presentation that should get you excited about low-carb living all over again.

2. REVOLUTION HEALTH’S OBESITY MAP (1990-2006)

Wanna see something quite disturbing? Check out this unique and depressing obesity map of America to see just how much times have changed over the past 17 years. It’s quite ASTONISHING to say the least! It makes me shudder to think what the year 2025 will look like with the amount of red (indicating average BMI of over 30 percent) very likely plastering the entire nation unless something is done to turn the tide of this epidemic.

Access a state-by-state breakdown of the obesity numbers and see how much YOUR state has changed since 1990. If this doesn’t prove that we need to make better choices about how to treat the overweight and obese, then I don’t know what does. Send the link to this map to everyone you know who is concerned about weight and health in the United States.

3. JACKIE EBERSTEIN’S LOW-CARB RESEARCH LIBRARY

You’ll recall I told you about a new low-carb web site from Jacqueline Eberstein a few months ago and that she wanted to bring back a lot of the old low-carb research that used to appear on the old version of the official Atkins web site (which has now removed those links). Well, that project is DONE and you can now access most of the lost low-carb research studies anytime. THANK YOU for doing that, Jackie!

Read this introduction to the research and then get into the good stuff by finding the links from the Journal of Nutrition & Metabolism, Metabolic Syndrome & Related Disorders, and a whole boatload of low-carb research that has been published in a variety of other scientific and medical journals. If you need to find a low-carb study, then THIS is the place to do it!

These three useful resources should keep you quite busy for a while as you expand your mind and broaden your horizons about low-carb living in these modern times. We’re all in this together as we attempt to share the truth with those who need to know it!

As my friend Regina Wilshire from the “Weight Of The Evidence” blog says, “LEARN IT, LIVE IT, LOVE IT!” That’s livin’ la vida low-carb, baby!
