Hello and welcome back to The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore!
Today, Jimmy shares his conversation with Isabel De Los Rios, creator of The Diet Solution program for health and weight loss. Listen in as they discuss the benefits of natural foods, saturated fats, raw milk, as well as how her program differs from other low-carb plans.

Another great interview, Jimmy! Although I have to say, in all honesty I don’t feel the need to pay more for grass-fed beef/meat. Like a lot of people I have a very strict food budget, I can’t even afford to buy my meat full price! I plan my meals around what is on sale and sometimes go to 2 different stores to get the best prices. And sure, people can say “the health benefits are worth the extra money”, but some of us simply cannot afford it. It just seems to me that more and more people in the low-carb community are advocating this, and I wouldn’t anyone to be turned away from this wonderful lifestyle because they think that’s what they have to eat.
Good points, April! Certainly you have to find what fits within your budget and eating store bought meats is a whole heckuva lot better for you than the processed garbage in a box passed off as food in most stores. With the tough economy, you do what you can.
I believe the health benefits of grass fed meat are VASTLY overstated. Land mammals are a poor source of omega-3 fatty acids, even on a 100% grass diet. Sure the “ratios” are better in grass-fed, but the absolute amounts are trivial.
Eat salmon or take krill oil for your omega-3, and don’t waste your limited funds buying politically correct “grass-fed” meats.
Eating low-carb should NOT be something only rich folks can do!
THANKS Jeff! I do think there is merit to consuming grass-fed over grain-fed beef both in taste and nutrition. Maybe when I have a chance to interview you on this podcast we can discuss your arguments further. 🙂
Would consider it an honor to be part of your podcast at some point within the next year. But currently working on refining my approach a bit, and reluctant to “go on record or paint myself into a corner” until I resolve certain issues to my own satisfaction.
The big one for me right now is what part do natural starches actually play in the development of insulin resistance (Kitava Islanders do not become insulin resistant on high intake of NATURAL starches for instance.) – or is chronic insulin resistance almost solely due to fructose as more and more are asserting these days? (Such as a recent guest of your podcast, Dr. Richard Johnson)
Although even if it were shown conclusively that natural starches do not cause long-term chronic insulin resistance, I feel that MOST people who grew up on SAD diet are indeed at least somewhat insulin resistant, and will do best on a reduced carbohydrate diet.
But enough about me, and that rabbit trail…
Though I disagree with the notion that overpriced “organic” produce or grass-fed meats are vastly superior to conventionally produced meats and produce, I think we can all agree that Isabela is a knowledgeable and articulate voice for the LC community.
But man oh man Jimmy…I wished you had asked her what she has to say about the fact that her ancestors from Peru did NOT become insulin resistant on their native high-starch/low-fructose diet. (<:
We’ll have a lot to talk about… 🙂
She was great. I guess I’m a “livin’ la vida controlled-carber,” but, I agree, not much ring to that.
Roger, we accept any and all people who implement carbohydrate-restriction into their life for weight and health management. Welcome to the fray! 😀
I love this interview. Although she no doubt uses more fruit and starch veggies in her diet, the fact that she is pro-meat, pro-saturated fats and even pro-raw dairy shows that she is willing to stand up to a healthy unpackaged diet. I prefer grass-fed meat because evidence shows that it is less suceptible to disease. You don’t find mad cow disease among pasturized beef. ALso, as I understand it, these animals are put to death in a more humane manner. Also, grain fed beef has aa higher carb count but whose counting?
I can’t afford grass fed meat on a regular basis but when I can splurge, that is where my money goes. I have also been consuming a little raw cream, here and there. I wll spend more on raw dairy but again, that will not be on a regular basis. I almost purchased some Wednesday but remembered that I have a car payment due 😉
If I had my pregnancies to do all over, they would be very low carb and the first nurse to feed my babies sugar water will be punched! I have given birth to healthy babies that had problems. Problems that would have been avoided with a proper diet and they would have been exquisitely healthy babies with considerable intelligence without being bogged down with attention problems. I will sut-up now.
I ORDERED THE HARD COPY OF THE DIET SOLUTION ON THE THIRD DAY OF AUG. 2011 AND IT IS THE 29TH OF AUG. AND I HAVE NOT GOT THIS BOOK AS OF TODAY, IT HAS ALL READY BEEN CHARGED TO MY ACCOUNT 8-5-11  I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY BOOK ?  DJA523MK@HOTMAIL.COM
You should contact them about it.
Isabel looks oddly familiar. Â Was she on a TLC’s A Baby Story? Â She seemed afraid to eat.
