What happened with Jimmy Moore at the weekend?

(Paula Green) #88

I think both KetoTalk and the new podcast are great and have improved. Jimmy does not joke around as much and I think heā€™s doing a great job. I like the new Keto Talk doc - I think he has settled in well.

The ā€œnewā€ guy on Keto Talk is fine but I really liked the rapport Jimmy and Adam had, and that was a context in which Jimmyā€™s stupid silliness worked fine.

I said earlier in this thread that I did not like Dr Cole at first but he has really grown on me now and they changed the questions a bit as well ā€¦

Of course there are going to be shortly loads of books to be sold :slight_smile:

And yes back with Doc Nally and KT very good !

Richard, Thank you for your transparency.

I came to keto through Fung as well. I am addicted to podcasts and subscribe to a number of them (2ketodudes being the top of my list!), and I youtube keto quite a lot. Iā€™m not a fan of Jimmyā€™s style so only listened to a few of them. But there are enough others out there now, that you can get the information you want from another source.

I am really loving the Keto hacking MD podcast! The hacks they try are things weā€™ve discussed: extended fasting, protein. Thatā€™s it so far because this podcast is fairly new. I like that both JM and the doc try the experiment. You can see the different ways their bodies react.

Yes, it was interesting. I put stock in the Docā€™s opinions. He really seemed to go into it with an open (if slightly pessimistic mind). His opinions in the podcast were also thoughtful and informed.

I didnā€™t particularly like the way the whole thing was based on what seemed like a quick emailed response from Ted Naiman to a request from JM several months ago for a 14 day meal plan.

During the experiment this was repeatedly referred to as a protocol which gave it an air of something a bit more considered than it perhaps was. Having said that Ted Naiman didnā€™t refine anything on the podcast so it stuck.

Overall, I hope that conclusions arenā€™t drawn from any way of eating simply because of 7 days in one or two people 's lives. This experiment seems to me to lay somewhere between science and entertainment at the end of the day.

(Madge Boldt) #95

I agree with this. Moore did clearly state at the end of that last podcast that theirs was an n=2 experiment, and their results were so different that no conclusion could be drawn other than by the 2 participants for themselves. He will hopefully make this statement often. People donā€™t always listen.

(David) #96

Yes. When I was talking to my doctor about keto, they said it wasnā€™t for them but also gave the example of a person with poor eyesight taking to a person with glasses. The person with glasses says, ā€œhey, I have poor vision too. Borrow my glasses for a minuteā€. When they donā€™t work, the first person says, ā€œyour glasses are rubbish, they donā€™t work!ā€ Iā€™m sure thatā€™s a story plenty of people will have heard before but it struck a chord with me and keto. Itā€™s probably equally applicable to high protein too. :smile:

(David) #97

It was interesting to re - listen to the 2kd podcast featuring Ted Naiman.

(Madge Boldt) #98

I may have to do the same. Thanks for the reminder!

Another podcast Iā€™ve been enjoying is Biohackers Lab. Itā€™s not all about keto, but sime of the guests have been Amber Oā€™Hearn, Ken Berry, Benjamin Bikman. Familiar names. Learning alot!

(David) #99

Awesome. Thanks :smile:

Thereā€™s almost too much info out there and it sometimes gets confusing. I can be going along really happy with my lifestyle then a blog or video will cause me to become concerned about what I am eating even though I feel so much better.

(Karen Parrott) #101

I keep a big, nice hand written journal so that I write down podcast and ideas that really pop for me. When I test them out I make notes about the date a little bit about what I did and the outcome. That helps me to go back to see what did work and didnā€™t work for me.

Itā€™s interesting for me to see but Iā€™ve had to make more adjustments in weight maintenance than in weight loss. Without the journal I might have double back and gotten stuck. Best wishes and keep doing what works for you. The things Iā€™ve needed to change have really popped out at me in a major way.

(Rosemary Easter) #102

That is a really good idea, will try it.

(Doug) #103

Rosemary, indeed. :thinking: Feeling better is one very good indication that what weā€™re doing, though perhaps not perfect, is vastly better than before. We do have to find what works best for ourselves as individuals - what has helped me a lot is reading what so many other people have to say right on this forum; Iā€™ve been zeroing in on what is the most sustainable and beneficial course for me. Well, thatā€™s what I think, anyway. :wink:

There certainly is conflicting stuff out there. Some of it is just plain false, and a lot of it applies in certain situations, which may or may not apply to us. The basic ketogenic approach and fasting work so well for me that Iā€™m quite content to be patient, perhaps tweaking things as I go along. My real challange is just staying on course.

(Rosemary Easter) #104

I am lucky as I have found it very easy but it is sorting out the false info from the truth and you can always find people to support both sides.

#105

Can someone explain how Jmmy Moore, who is extremely overweight, is a popular spokesperson for the ketogenic diet? I understand that he lost a lot of weight with the ketogenic diet but, he is still obese. That makes me think that either the ketogenic diet doesnā€™t work, or Jimmy Moore does not follow ketogenic diet.

(Bob M) #106

Not everyone can lose all the weight they gained. Sorry, but thatā€™s the way it is.

You still get improvements in:

  • skin
  • allergies
  • mental clarity
  • depression
  • skin tags
  • digestion
  • IBS
  • many more I canā€™t remember now

@Peanut8 Welcome to the forum. Just curious why your first post is in response to a 4 to 5 year old inactive thread, and youā€™re wondering why Jimmy Moore weighs more than youā€™d like him to despite his talking about the benefits of keto?

Given everything going on around this forum, is this truly your first concern? :thinking:
