Gary Taubes and me on a podcast? nervous much?


(Mindy) #1

So I am super super nervous! I’m pretty sure everyone on this amazing 2 Keto Dudes forum knows Gary Taubes. Thanks to Carl, Richard, Nina Teicholz, Gary Taubes, Jimmy Moore etc…and those who have been paving the Keto path for years and decades have helped me get my life back! I’m super nervous today because a couple weeks ago, out of the blue, a woman who hosts health talks on curetalks.com contacted me on Facebook who invited ME to be on a panel discussion w/ Gary Taubes to talk about his early blockbuster book “Good Calories Bad Calories”. I’m still not sure how I was selected but this is like a dream come true to contribute to the efforts to bust through the myths we’ve been told about fat and health. It took me almost 20 years to address negative self-image issues but almost 40 years to successfully address my horrible diet/health issues. I hope I’m not being disrespectful to Carl and Richard but I would love to have some keto folks ask questions of Gary or tune in to the podcast on curetalks.com. The podcast is live Thursday, Nov 15th at 5 p.m. EST (2 pm PST where I live). You just need to register your email address to tune in and/or ask a question below the invite. THANKS MY KETO WARRIORS!!! please wish me luck! I just don’t want to sound stupid.

I think the blur from the website explains why she selected you to be on the panel.

Mindy Stone, who grew up fighting a weight problem from age 11 and found success with the Ketogenic diet will join us on the panel. Mindy hosts a Keto Support group in Lane County Oregon and is passionate about food politics and how it controls what we eat. This journey has inspired her to create “Training Wheels to Health” a coaching business to help others get off highly processed foods and onto a whole foods way of eating.

You sound awesome Mindy. Relax and get to enjoy the experience. I just read one of Taubes’ books, Case Against Sugar. I have listened to lots of his videos too. I think he is great. Jealous that you will get to talk with him, but so glad you do get to do it.

I’m blushing! thank you Collarroygal! I LOVE the case against sugar book and to learn about how we got where we are today w/ our trashy SAD diet is enthralling to me. Since discovering how to heal myself and nourish myself with the help of Keto, sustainable, local seasonal foods and FARMERS I’m determined to share “how to” not only get back at the corporate industrial “food” system but to help my community members to support each other. THANKS FOR YOUR KIND WORDS AND SUPPORT !!! Keto LOVE!
