Following Part 1 of my exclusive interview with low-fat diet guru Dr. Dean Ornish, I’m pleased to bring you Part 2 today in Episode 96 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore.” Again, the quality of the interview is a bit fuzzy, but when it was recorded one year ago I did not have the nice recording equipment I have today. In fact, I didn’t even have a podcast show yet at the time. But I thought it was interesting to hear the specific answers to my questions from Dr. Ornish in his own voice.
Dr. Ornish comments on artificial sweeteners, McDonald’s, the latest low-carb studies, and more! At the end of our interview, I identified a surprising list of 20 areas of agreement where low-carbers can agree with Dr. Ornish. This is worthy of continuing the conversation with low-fat supporters to see if we can find more areas of consensus for the sake of helping people who want to lose weight and get healthy.
Now that you have heard from Dr. Dean Ornish talking about why he believes what he believes, what do you think about what he had to say? Is it a worthwhile pursuit to “look for common ground” as Dr. Ornish suggested at the end of the interview or should we hold fast in our belief in livin’ la vida low-carb?
I just listened to the 20 common ideas between Ornish’s diet and the diet you would advocate. I know it’s been awhile since the interview, do you still believe in # 13 – the root cause of most obesity is depression?
