I really admire how you are able to question your guests on things they advocate but not make them angry or defensive. Keep up the good work!
The quick search I did turned up something that seems to say “yacon” syrup has a high proportion of FOS, but it has Fructose. Jimmy, please let us know what you find out with your superior sources.
THANKS David! I try hard not to be confrontational to put people on their defenses. My objective is to hear them out on why they believe the way they do, explain my position laying it out for them, and then seeing where we really disagree. By the end, Deryl was stating we’re not that far apart in our thinking which means he must agree that saturated fat isn’t harmful from the right sources. As for that hard-to-say name of the “beet” sugar in his shake product, I’m not convinced that stuff would be good for me. But if it works for him and his clients without any adverse impact on their blood sugar, weight or health, then who am I to object to it? Find what works for you and do it–that’s been my philosophy from day one.
. . . that’s why everyone loves you, Jimmy Moore! You found your calling & you work it wonderfully.
🙂
Laurie, thanks so much! 🙂
I agree with Laurie—you do an excellent job, Jimmy. And I enjoyed this podcast very much. THANKS for asking Deryl what he eats! You know that’s my favorite interview question! 🙂
The sweetener he was talking about in his shake is called yakon(smallanthus sonchifolius) It is a tuber that contains a high amount of inulin fiber and it breaks down slwoly into F.O.S. or fructooligosaccharides. Yacon does not contain beet sugar or fructose. It has a very mildly sweet taste and comes in the form of a white powder or a syrup. The syrup has a slighly tangy molasses like flavor.
I listen at times due to the fact that I am interested in what the people who you interview have to say but every time I listen you sound like you were never over weight and you look down on all those people who actually eat french fries. Such as your comment about the potatoe / vegatable issue.
When you ask questions of people and you already know your stance and oppinion and it is as if you ask to back someone in a corner if they may not have the information you have.
Rather than many things being a “teaching” moment it actually is more of a “I know more than you know” or “I am right and you are wrong”, now I got you in my web and I can nicely chew you or your theory up.
Be careful, you were over weight, with bad habbits at one time.
Comments such as “DUH” etc.
Jesus ate bread in the bible. But he probably did not binge on it, he was thankful for it and SHARED.
You know there is 1 rule in the bible regarding eating. Don’t be a glutton. Being a glutton also means obsessing over food, breaking it down and making it complicated not just eating it.
I have had patients who were 95 years old and healthy, some were vegetarians, and others ate junk, starting their day with a doughnut, sandwich and cookie at lunch and meat and potatoe at dinner. Both had great health and on no medications.
The only common thing they shared is that they ate moderately, neither over ate food or binged in their meals. IE 1 doughnut for breakfast. Pretty crappy but this 95 year old was walking, talking, and wiping her own butt with great cholesterol. She did not eat 5 doughnuts.
I am not disagreeing with your theories, just that you way comes across as a “I told you so” or you never let the person finish what they are saying as they would say it.
IE: When you asked him what he ate in a day and then interupted him all the way through adding what you wanted him to eat to support your view, “you have butter on that omlet, you put pb on your apple” not everyone loads up on fat each and every meal.
If I came across an apple tree I would not be looking for a pound of peanuts to make into 2tbs of pb for my apple. I would just eat the darn apple and when I came across a nut probably eat that too.
Autumn,
I don’t think Jimmy looks down on people. I think he was shocked when he first found out that the most consumed “vegetable” statistically was french fries. And after being overweight and unhealthy, and looking back upon his eating habits, it is with the feeling of “I wish I knew back then, what I know now”. And when he sees other people who are still in the “back then” position of habits and behavior, the frustration of them not having put 2 & 2 together regarding habits and consquences, elicits an occasional “DUH”… Ex.- If the most consumed vegetable in the country is french fries, it should be pretty intuitive that most people in the country aren’t optimally healthy.
I’m guessing Jimmy and his guests know ahead time the things that will be discussed in the interviews we hear on his podcast. (Correct me if I’m wrong Jimmy?) And they are not “put on the spot” for Jimmy to put their ideas to task so he can look superior. The fat issue Jimmy was emphasizing was in regards to the blanket statement Deryl made regarding Saturated fat as bad. He was trying to get Deryl to elaborate on the fact that he knows the distinction in types of Saturated fat, and that some sources are better than others. Jimmy wasn’t interrupting Deryl to tell him what he wanted him to eat, he was making sure Deryl didn’t leave out the portions of the food that he had eaten that Jimmy emphasized earlier. Even if Jimmy views the info and comments his guests present through the lense of his own perspective, it is his own show, and it is called the Livin’ La Vida Low Carb Show after all, naturally the content will be tied to those ideas. There have been plenty of guests that have a way more “know it all” attitude than what you perceive Jimmy to come off like sometimes.
And although he is a big proponent of low carb and espouses it often, he does acknowledge that there are “different strokes for different folks” and that “one size doesn’t fit all” in regards to diet and health. (My apologies for all the cliches.)
And gluttony is about overeating (or drinking). In the sense of succumbing to greed and indulgence, and disregarding consequences of such behavior. Obsessing about eating, overanalyzing and complicating it, is just being neurotic, not gluttonous. I would not consider someone who has to eat every meal in perfect Zone portions, or someone who has to weigh & measure & count every single calorie consumed exactly, as being a glutton.
One of the things that you mentioned that I strongly agree with though, is the idea of moderation. I think the spirit of moderation can be applied to every aspect of life, and too much of anything is not good.
I agree with Mical – Jimmy was getting Deryl to elaborate. He said sat fat is bad and neglected to mention the butter for his omelet. Not that Deryl was withholding or mis-representing anything.
Sometimes we have differing definitions of the same word or phrase – such as “low carb” (which is most commonly defined multiple ways). Jimmy does a great job of getting guests to clarify those differences – it helps to make sure we’re all on the same page and understand each other. 🙂
Just like your definition of glutton. I don’t agree with it at all, but my definition is based on Strong’s Concordance You can look it up on http://www.blueletterbible.com.
I don’t recall ever hearing Jimmy be anything other than gracious to his guests. He is a strong supporter of people finding what works for them and does not restrict his guests to those who are die hard low carb. It’s what makes his shows so interesting and refreshing – a real person interviewing real people. Perhaps you’re just not getting his humor?
