In Episode 553 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” we welcome back one of my favorite all-time guests of the show who was first with us back in Episode 125 back on March 31, 2008. She is weight loss expert and author Phoenix Gilman and she’s got an exciting new edition of her smack-you-in-the-face book Diet Failure…the Naked Truth: The Brain Chemistry Key to Losing Weight and Achieving Extraordinary Health at Any Age for you to enjoy and be educated by. It’s been about four years since I first interviewed Phoenix Gilman and some amazing developments in this 50-something’s philosophy have occurred. But she’s never wavered from her strong belief in the healthy low-carb nutritional message that is the centerpiece of everything she does to help her clients attain the success they’ve been looking for. Phoenix is back to tell me all about it. If you want to hear what someone with passion, knowledge and spunk sounds like in defense of low-carb living to the max, then you don’t want to miss this electrifying interview with Phoenix Gilman!

Listen to Phoenix Gilman share why she appreciates low-carb diets:

  • Phoenix was one of the very first interview guests on the podcast
  • The revised edition of her book that she’s been working on
  • Her passion is to “empower people” with the low-carb message
  • Most of what she’s been talking about is still relevant in 2012
  • Her clients who say they eat “healthy” that is anything but
  • It’s about properly teaching people “the science of nutrition”
  • The legal liability medical doctors deal with regarding diet
  • Doctors who are “weaning themselves out” of traditional care
  • Her father’s kidneys were failing and they put him on a statin
  • The lack of knowledge people have about the role of cholesterol
  • People have been brainwashed by marketing into taking statins
  • Taking drugs cause more disease by “masking the issues at hand”
  • Her work as a researcher into the role of nutrition and health
  • Serotonin is the “master communicator of all brain chemicals”
  • Why she created her own line of dietary supplements
  • Getting people past the cravings that keep them overweight is the goal
  • How she’s been able to implement the science in a practical way
  • The strong relationship between serotonin and the insulin hormone
  • Getting quality sleep and eating real food energizes your day
  • Why she’s not about a “quick fix” but rather education
  • Clients who think they’re going to be unhealthy eating eggs
  • Doctors would be out of business if people started eating well
  • The low-fat diet that has led us to become fatter and sicker
  • Stores are still pushing the archaic low-fat message heavily
  • Carbs equals sugar equals insulin equals high body fat
  • Eating dietary fat does not turn into body fat
  • Personal trainers who use low-fat are “pushing into a disease state”
  • The “provocative” photos on the front cover of her book
  • Whether she ever had a weight problem in her life
  • How she felt and got fat by eating foods that were low-fat
  • Why she only works out twice weekly for 40 minutes each session
  • Losing 20 pounds led to the loss of five dress sizes difference
  • Why she doesn’t care about how many pounds you lose
  • It’s all about being strong and healthy, not reaching a number
  • Women are “brainwashed” into thinking the scale is what matters
  • Cardio is only good for as long as you do it and an hour after
  • Having lean muscle mass from resistance training makes it 24/7
  • Cardio exercise tends to remove lean muscle mass, not add it
  • People who read a book on the treadmill are just “wasting time”
  • Women do not have the chemical makeup to “bulk up” weight lifting
  • Her clients eat more food than they ever thought possible
  • She will continue to “grassroots” this message as long as she can
  • Why what she eats isn’t necessarily how someone else should eat
  • What her typical meals look like
  • She goes through four sticks of butter and 5 quarts cream weekly
  • It is what triggers insulin that will plaque your arteries
  • There is “no more perfect food” than eggs
  • Making a chocolate brownie out of protein powder and eggs
  • You gotta learn to “think outside the box” with low-carb meals
  • What the relationship is between the serotonin-insulin connection
  • Why it was so important to her to reshoot the front cover
  • What she thinks about books that promote carbs for boosting serotonin
