I'm beat right now. Will be resting more and come back strong.

I'm looking forward to your podcast resumption, Jimmy! Hope that you are suitably tanned and rested from that cruise "vacation" :)

Although it looked to me like you were working nonstop all week anyway...

I don't know how you do it. I would have to have someone screen my mail, etc. or I would be curled up in a fetal position. Have a good trip.

Wow. I am relatively new to your blog but have been an ancestral blog follower for years. I also have my own blog and am attempting the lonely task of transforming the health of East TN. I don't get personal attacks, I get blank stares. Some really have never heard this stuff and simply think I am a bit weird. At least you are able stir up some type of thought and emotion!! I tell them but sometimes they just look stunned. I relay the message but sometimes the most needy simply can't grasp the importance. Like you know wearing a condom will prevent aids but you just won't do it. It is simple...but it may not be easy. I hope to meet you at AHS in August. My deepest wish is to bring health and hope to the ones we can reach. Let the unenlightened find their own way...the hard way.

I just read this as I've been "away" for awhile with other things. You are more than wonderful and I send love and hugs to you! You have helped me a lot and I still need help. A lifetime of high carbs has been horrible to try to overcome! I'd rather read your blogs and listen to your things because you are "real" and not pretending to be "super-human"! Keep up the great work and ignore the naysayers!

I was thinking the exact same thing. These new blog posts seem to coming out more frequently with longer lists of sites. Makes me hope the tide is turning. When I see traffic coming to my own blog from search terms like "coconut oil clogs arteries" combined with a long list of other sites like these it makes me realize just how many people we can combine to get the truth out to.

Dear Jimmy, I was crestfallen when I read this post...I've been a bit out of touch lately and hadn't visited as regularly as I'd love to. :) -It completely disheartens me that people can be this way...and yet, I know they can. You have helped so very many-including me-on my low carb journey and quite simply, I pray that I can meet you and Christine someday and thank you in person for your amazing, extensive research into low carb. living. Consider how the late Dr. Atkins felt-so attacked, criticized and mocked...remind you of anyone? I feel that whenever a cause is great-such as saving a life 'is'-that the job can never come easy...And so, you too, are helping to save lives through the current educational/scientific research that you go out of your way to provide. You are right, Jimmy; those people are hurting, and the proper thing to do for those who mock us and our life-work, is to pray for them and forgive them. In the meanwhile, just know how loved you are by all of us who come here for encouragement, laughter, joy and education into eating wholesome, God-made foods. Huge hugs from me...Mary

I just donated 10 dollars. Easily worth it for all the amazing information I get from your blog! Keep doing what you do and please know that there are many people out there who appreciate the immense amounts of time and effort you put in!

Jimmy has lost weight -- more than a 100 lbs! It's obvious that his diet is working for him. Three decades of poor eating aren't going to be erased suddenly by going low-carb -- you have to judge how well someone does in a race by where they started from! Your criticism is unfair (as well as poorly worded).

Hi Jimmy!
The garbage that is directed at you is actually a statement of the way the authors of the personal attacks feels about themselves. Carl Jung writes about the shadow self that every human must face in order to be real, and being real means being connected to each other in the foundation of love. I think you are providing an excellent blog with regards to proper diet for millions of obese humans who scan the internet for answers to their own struggles. I know from my personal experience how stress negatively effects your metabolism, and even the perfect diet will not alleviate the high cortisol levels from chronic conditions. I want you to take care of yourself first, and recognize the signs of distress that you are aware of, and situations that are stressful from subconscious conditioning of the brain. The anniversary of your brother's passing at the age you are about to become is significant. You must find ways to make healthy coping habits a part of your day so y9ou can continue to provide the excellent information that you do for others. Good luck. Jimmy and God bless!

"Expert Insight

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that calcium consumption interferes with iron absorption. Calcium-rich foods like dairy products, beans, fortified juices and cereals, and dark leafy greens like kale, bok choy and cabbage, when eaten in combination with or around the same time as iron-rich foods, can decrease the total absorption of iron into the body. Data suggest that individuals should consume calcium no sooner than two hours after eating an iron-rich meal to prevent decreased iron absorption leading to iron deficiency.
Considerations

Combining heme with nonheme iron sources and/or foods rich in vitamin C in the same meal will significantly increase the total absorption of iron into the body. For example, a grilled chicken sandwich with sliced tomato and roasted bell pepper on a whole-wheat bun is a combination of both types of iron as well as vitamin C that will give you a well-absorbed boost of iron for the day. Just be sure to avoid consuming dairy products like milk or cheese within two hours of this iron-rich meal to optimize the total absorption of iron into your body."

"Sugar

As part of the Framingham Heart Study, a National Institutes of Health project, investigators looked at the factors that increased iron stores such as diet and iron supplementation. Participants included more than six hundred elderly patients. Those who took supplemental iron along with fruit had higher iron stores, some as much as three times. No one is encouraged to consume sugar to improve iron absorption. Too much sugar can lead to other health problems, such as obesity and diabetes. Refined white sugar has no nutritional value except calories. However, eating fruits or adding honey or black-strap molasses to foods such as cereals can boost iron absorption and add nutrients that are lacking in refined sugar. "

I know I'm really late to the party, but Jimmy, I can't tolerate the sweet potatoes at all because of the high estrogen content. It might not be the starch, carb content, or the calories but rather that its a prime estrogen source.

Hi jimmy - I would love to be on that Cruise! We are hoping to next year though. Since you linked my blog I have had an amazing number of hits from USA!! nearly as many as I get from my home country, New Zealand. Thanks again for all that you do to get this message out there.

Jimmy!
What you provide is an entertaining, well-produced, tantalizing podcast that continually keeps me coming back for more! I wouldn't have even HEARD of any of those Paleo people, for example, if not for YOU! You are (imho) the BEST podcast interviewer out there, and yeah, you could be making money with your talent and skills doing all kinds of other stuff, but your LOVE for this shines through. This seems to be your calling, and you're answering it brilliantly.

Dear Jimmy, keep on keeping on, I couldn't even estimate the value of what I've learned from your site and the folks you've introduced me to, thank you!! It's entirely possible that if I had found your site in 2009, I've have never started blogging - you were doing what I thought needed doing. Best regards to you in sustaining your health and growth and learning and teaching, you are helping so many!!

At some point, calories do count, and it would be good to know exactly how much you are eating - I like Diva's point. I'd also ditch the stevia for the purpose of the testing and to get a better enjoyment of food without extra sweetness - confounding element.

Ever measured your degree of hydration? Sometimes, appetite is associated with low hydration but can feel like just plain old hunger.

Stay with it my friend!!

I hope you and Christine have a fantastic time on this year's cruise! I live in Spokane, Wa and I am not sure that we are even going to get a summer this year. So, please come home with a little bit of a tan for us here in the NW. I need to know that the sun is shining SOMEWHERE! LOL !
