Personal trainer Drew Manning and low-carb friendly dentist Dr. John Sorrentino are our guests today on The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore!
Drew Manning is a physically fit personal trainer who in 2011 got the bright idea to deliberately became obese in the span of six months only to turn right around and get fit again as a means to help empathize with and experience what his clients have to go through. He calls it “Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit” and he’s currently in the midst of getting fit again after gaining over 70 pounds since May 2011 eating a high-carb, junk food diet. Listen to him talk about what it’s been like getting fat and the major media attention this has given him landing on popular television programs like The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Dr. Oz Show.
Dr. John Sorrentino is a dentist who was trained conventionally but quickly realized there was a nutritional component missing in his practice that could help improve the dental health of his patients. That’s where healthy low-carb living comes into play and he’s more than willing to share this secret to strong teeth and healthy gums with everyone who enters his Hopewell Junction, New York office. While you might not typically think that low-carb has anything to do with the health of your teeth, think again. Dr. Sorrentino explains why in today’s interview.

From our perspective here I think it’s save to say that the workout addiction he mentioned will savely replace his carb addiction again, unless his fat phobia gets in the way.
He should perhaps not only allow “people to decide what fatty foods I should partake of during my fat stage”, as he puts it, but eat those evil fatty food during the 2Fit stage as well.
I have seen exact same secondary effect on myself! Just like Dr John. I now see better muscle definition on my body!;)
And Berkhan recommends StartingStrength DVD and book. From book ”
The problem, of course, is that machine-based training did not work as it was advertised. It
was almost impossible to gain muscular bodyweight doing a circuit. People who were trying to do
so would train faithfully for months without gaining any significant muscular weight at all. When
they went to barbell training, a miraculous thing would happen: they would immediately gain —
within a week — more weight than they had gained in the entire time they had fought with the 12-
station circuit.
The reason that isolated body-part training on machines doesn’t work is the same reason
that barbells work so well, better than any other tools we can use to gain strength. The human
body functions as a complete system — it works that way, and it likes to be trained that way. It
doesn’t like to be separated into its constituent components and then have those components
exercised separately, since the strength obtained from training will not be utilized in this way. The
general pattern of strength acquisition must be the same as that in which the strength will be used.
The nervous system controls the muscles, and the relationship between them is referred to as
“neuromuscular.” When strength is acquired in ways that do not correspond to the patterns in
which it is intended to actually be used, the neuromuscular aspects of training have not been
considered. Neuromuscular specificity is an unfortunate reality, and exercise programs must
respect this principle the same way they respect the Law of Gravity.…Machines, on the other hand, force the body to move the weight according to the design ofthe machine. This places some rather serious limitations on the ability of the exercise to meet thespecific needs of the athlete. For instance, there is no way for a human being to utilize thequadriceps muscles in isolation from the hamstrings in any movement part that existsindependent of a machine designed for this purpose. No natural movement can be performed thatdoes this. Quadriceps and hamstrings always function together, at the same time, to balance theforces on either side of the knee. Since they always work together, why should they be exercisedseparately? Because somebody invented a machine that lets us?”
I posted a reply above this but it didn’t make it. I said I recommended MartinBerkhan (because of at 6min you said ‘get stronger’). You don’t have to fast but see his “Big 4”
I can’t link it but it’s the first google result for “Tuesday, September 27, 2011 leangains” do Big 4 with proper form (form is taught in StartingStrength and you can google ‘reddit r/fitness’ for more support)
And google ‘examine leangains faq’ for the quick rundown, first result
Heheheh Jimmy you silly fat blob, you are so dumb.
You blame obesity, especially your own, on carbohydrate based foods, ignorning that those were JUNK foods. And even then, they are not all carb-heavy foods. Your examples of donuts have about half the calories coming from fat alone!
Also, Little Debbie have over 40% of calories coming from fat.
You got fat on too many calories, silly Jimmy, and that includes too much fat. If you weren’t eating junk food in the first place, I doubt you would be stuffing yourself on potatoes, rice, apples, or table sugar. Silly Jimmy Moore blaming carbs for getting fat on junk food made up of half fat!
Also, do you really think Jessica Biel ate 24 donuts in that binge (nothing compared to a Jimmy Moore Food Binge)? Of course not – she says she was there with multiple friends, and she only ate as much as she could put in her mouth. You think her appetite would last long enough and her stomach could expand enough to suddenly fit that volume?
Jimmy Moore wrote:
“I don’t think anybody actually needs two dozen donuts and two large pizzas in one sitting. What she did wasn’t just low-carb, but it was low-fat as well.”
LOL – no, she did not eat 24 donuts and 2 large pizzas in one sitting all by herself. I would bet even amongst all her friends they didn’t finish all that food. Silly Moore Food Boy!
And again, the donuts are HALF fat! You could have never been Moore Wrong in using this as an example of her being addicted to carbs. I guess she was also addicted to fat too by this example.
What an ordinary person can see is that she was starving herself and needed to eat. The hungrier we are, the less discriminate we are in our food choices.

Who would buy a book on health written by a food addict like you?
The day Jessica Biel hires you as a weight loss coach!

Her binge involved lots of fat – pizza and donuts are at least half fat.
Silly Moore Food boy.

Jimmy Moore got fat on junk food including Little Debbies and Sausage McMuffins – those have a great deal of calories from fat. He overate fat. He still does. So he is still fat.
