If you are interested in the low-carb, moderate protein, high-fat, ketogenic diet, then this is the podcast for you. We zero in exclusively on all the questions people have about how being in a state of nutritional ketosis and the effects it has on your health. There are a lot of myths about keto floating around out there and our two amazing cohosts are shooting them down one at a time. Keto Talk is cohosted by 10-year veteran health podcaster and international bestselling author Jimmy Moore from “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb”<\/a> and Arizona osteopath and certified bariatric physician Dr. Adam Nally from “Doc Muscles”<\/a> who thoroughly share from their wealth of experience on the ketogenic lifestyle each and every Thursday. We love hearing from our fabulous Ketonian listeners with new questions–send an email to Jimmy at livinlowcarbman@charter.net<\/a>.

Listen in today as Jimmy and Adam deliver some thorough answers to the most pressing ketogenic questions in Episode 28!<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what Jimmy and Adam talked about in Episode 28:<\/p>\n – Does a ketogenic diet lead to cardiomyopathy?<\/p>\n I came across this reference that suggested that a ketogenic diet had been associated with cardiomyopathy: http:\/\/www.neurology.org\/content\/54\/12\/2328.short<\/a><\/p>\n I wonder if you and the Doc have any thoughts on this. Thank you for your great podcast.<\/p>\n Barry in the UK<\/em><\/p>\n – NuSI-funded Study Serves Up Disappointment for the Carbohydrate-insulin Hypothesis of Obesity<\/a><\/p>\n 1. Why is diet soda bad on keto and what can I drink instead?<\/p>\n Hi Jimmy & The Doc,<\/p>\n I have been following a ketogenic lifestyle for almost a year\u2014and there\u2019s NO going back! Since last summer I have improved my health markers and lost 35 pounds (with 50 more to go) and have NO cravings. But my weight loss has stalled out since Christmas and your various podcasts & periscopes keep me inspired to NEVER eat the carbage on a regular basis again. One thing that still plagues me is my diet soda habit. Nothing else \u201chits the spot\u201d like my Diet Dr. Pepper and I seriously need help in forming a strategy to get rid of the stuff. What exactly is so harmful about the diet sodas and how might that affect my weight loss on keto? What can I drink instead that might hit the spot since I\u2019m not really a coffee or tea drinker.<\/p>\n Thanks for your help!<\/p>\n Kathy<\/em><\/p>\n 2. Does a ketogenic diet lead to insomnia and how can I overcome this?<\/p>\n Hi Jimmy and Adam,<\/p>\n Thank you for all your work in endorsing the keto way of living! I am having issues with maintaining ketosis due to insomnia, a racing mind, and loads of energy at bedtime.\u00a0I’ve been Paleo for 3 years now but am still struggling to lose belly fat. I need to drop at least 8kg (18 pounds) to be at my ideal weight and I haven’t eaten bread, pasta, rice, sugar, fruit or sweet drinks for over three years. But I\u2019m still struggling to lose that weight.<\/p>\n My question for you guys is how do I overcome the insomnia that seems to be caused by being in ketosis? I love my mental clarity and energy when in keto but it doesn’t last long because of the insomnia. I have tried 1\/2 teaspoon of honey, 600 mg magnesium glycinate, and 1500mg L-Tryptophan at bedtime but all to no avail. \u00a0So I end up having a piece of my Paleo bread (10g of carbs)\u00a0at 2am\u00a0so I can get to sleep. I\u2019ve always been a good sleeper before attempting a ketogenic diet.<\/p>\n Any suggestions in overcoming this would be great.<\/p>\n Anna<\/em><\/p>\n 3. Would former contestants on The Biggest Loser be able to heal their bodies on keto?<\/p>\n Hey Jimmy and The Doc,<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been reading a lot about the former contestants on The Biggest Loser gaining back their weight and messing up their metabolism even more than before they went on the show. Would these people benefit from eating a ketogenic diet? If they are constantly struggling with hunger, I would think eating low-carb, high-fat would be invaluable to them because it will satiate that hunger.<\/p>\n I read the description of what one of them was eating for breakfast: “one egg and two egg whites, half a grapefruit and a piece of wheat toast.” No wonder he’s so hungry! He’s basically eating sugar for breakfast. I would be hungry about 20 minutes after eating that and never feeling satiated. Why has no one recommended a ketogenic diet to them?<\/p>\n As for their slowed metabolic rate, I am not sure what to think. Is that something they can overcome or reverse? Or is it permanent? Does that happen to everyone who tries to lose weight or only those who take the very extreme and unsustainable approach The Biggest Loser takes which I would think would be massively stressful to your body and soul? How does that work and can what you eat to improve your metabolism?<\/p>\n Thanks so much for any insight you can provide.<\/p>\n Clara<\/em><\/p>\n KETO TALK MAILBOX: I’ve been checking my blood pressure and my readings have been over 150\/90 several times. I can feel my arms and feet get numb throughout the day and I’m freaking out. When I eat half a grapefruit and tested again, I had two readings under 120\/60.<\/p>\n Am I doing something wrong with keto? I listened to several podcasts episodes and couldn’t seem to find any information about blood pressure side effects.\u00a0When I test with Ketostix, it shows I am in ketosis. My blood sugar has not risen above 100 mg\/dL, so why is my blood pressure so high?<\/p>\n Thank you!<\/p>\n Cee<\/em><\/p>\n Here are the\u00a0new iTunes reviews of Keto Talk this week:<\/p>\n [powerpress] LISTEN AND DOWNLOAD AT ITUNES If you are interested in the low-carb, moderate protein, high-fat, ketogenic diet, then this is the podcast for you.
