Long before I ever even thought about going on the Atkins diet to lose weight in 2004, there was a woman who was championing the healthy low-carb lifestyle in a series of bestselling cookbooks. She tried the conventional high-carb, low-fat diet and it failed her, so that led her to livin’ la vida low-carb–and the rest is history! Of course, I’m talking about the one, the only Dana Carpender.
In Episode 158 Dana lets us in on what is happening in her life right now. She’s got a new companion cookbook coming out this Fall to go along with Rob Thompson’s The Glycemic-Load Diet and is currently dealing with a bit of a health scare herself with a fibroid in her stomach that she says makes her “look like I’m 20 pounds heavier than I am.” And you NEVER have to worry about Dana coming up with an opinion–she’s got plenty of ’em to go around!
We got Dana to open up in this podcast interview since she’s so shy–NOT!!! One thing you’ll never have trouble getting Dana Carpender to do is talk and she does it well. Hear her talk about the trials of the publishing world for a “low-carb” author, the dangers of low-calorie starvation diets, diet soda, low-carb chocolate, and that recent “big breakfast” study that had all the media going crazy recently. It’s never a dull moment with Dana around, so be sure to listen from start to finish.
What did you think about Dana Carpender? She has arguably had more influence on the way people view a low-carb lifestyle on the publishing and consumer side than anyone else ever has! I was privileged to speak with her and can’t wait to have her join us on the 2009 low-carb cruse.
