What happened with Jimmy Moore at the weekend?

Why not listen to the podcast?

(Cathy) #44

I apparently have listened to all the podcasts so I guess I don’t know which one you are referring to and what the ‘journal’ reference is. Perhaps you could name the podcast?

I believe it is simply to keep a food log. Jimmy was commenting recently with Mark Sisson that he was stalled and Mark tried to help him break Jimmy’s stall. Jimmy just eats Keto but does not log.

This is excellent advice and my experience. When I don’t feel right or I don’t achieve the results I think I should have the best place to start is not to change a thing and log for a week or two. Discovered too much xylitol in me makes a difference. Likely the insulin spike in response to sweet taste.

Looks like jimmy is winding up fasting talk- breaking news!!
We’ll see what new project is around the corner. Looking forwards to it as FT was getting a little stale

Well Jimmy just posted this and I think it is clear who he references here as stabbing him in the back.

this does happen when money and careers get in the way …

ugh - this is hard to read. I don’t think it’s just money and careers; we’re looking at less-than-ideal communication skills. The reason “I” statements are so helpful in relationships and in conflict resolution is that as soon as you start to accuse others of certain ways of thinking or ulterior motives, you shut down the discussion completely.
The above Facebook post closes doors, whereas the same statement could read: “It’s been a rough stretch, and I was so upset to see an important collaboration not work out the way I had hoped and imagined that it would. I’ve been moving through [whatever it is he’s feeling: sadness, disappointment, etc] but hope to [whatever he hopes]”
That’s more honest and it allows for movement forward. Hearing those early podcasts, I can absolutely see why the unnamed person (well, both of them) would have wanted to move on without any malice or desire to back-stab. As it turns out, for me it was them that got Jimmy on my radar and not the other way around.

[Ian, I loved hearing your episode with 2KD! Found it very inspiring :slight_smile: ]

I agree completely. I had never heard of Jimmy and he was honestly the part I liked the least about the podcast.

The other thing that occurs to me is that in media in general, popularity is usually fleeting (read ~ jump the shark). This is likely true for podcasts. I have listened to J.M. for years and finally tired of his ‘brand’. I will still listen if he has a guest that appeals to me but not regularly anymore. That is just the way it goes. We as ‘consumers’ are fickle.

I read this on Instagram (yes, I am so up with modern social media :slight_smile: ) and thought it can’t relate to that event, as I remember Jimmy apologising publicly and profusely for it. My memory of it was that he accepted the relationship breakdown was his fault. Has history been rewritten a little here?

You nailed it. I respect Jimmy but he seems to be a little, er, immature, when it comes to this stuff…

(Elliott) #56

I hate Jimmy Moore. I listened to every Fasting Talk that Dr. Fung and Megan did. Those two were great. But JM drives me up the wall. I was so happy when I noticed they stopped working together so I could unsubscribe. :smiley:

You mean you don’t want your free bottle of questionably-sourced “olive” oil?

(Crow T. Robot) #58

I’m just catching up with the latest and all I can say is ‘wow’. Usually, time gives you a bit of perspective and you are more likely to accept things gracefully even when you feel hard done by. Jimmy seems to have gone the other way. Sad to see, because I think he is an important part of the LCHF world, but it seems to me like he’s been believing his own hype a bit too much.

I like so many others stumbled upon Jimmy Moore thanks to Dr Fung and not the other way around. I knew who he was and bought one of his books a couple of years ago but he just wasn’t my cup of tea. With that said, I do respect him and everything he has done and I think he is a good interviewer despite not liking his style. Once Megan and Dr Fung left Fasting Talk, I kept listening to the show but it just didn’t have the same appeal to me. I was searching for more expert advice or background and despite Jimmy saying he was not pushing extended fasting, he always seemed to be asking his guests why they didn’t fast longer even if they had found what worked for them. It started annoying me and I had recently stopped listening to the podcast.

I just try to keep in mind that everyone here is just trying to educate the world and that we are all humans who let our emotions get the best of us sometimes.

For now I will just be grateful that the initial Fasting Talk episodes that got me started on my journey and answered all the questions I initially had!

And why is Jimmy so big now?

(ianrobo) #61

I think it is all down to stress
