Awesome, J! I'll be listening shortly! And we need to have you back on our show eventually, too. We'll be sure Sarah can make it this time. 🙂

Great! I love listening to the variety of viewpoints on Jimmy's shows. As for the haters, I suppose they are just so perfect that they can comfortably judge others for being human. I don't expect Jimmy to be perfect. He's got his strengths and weaknesses like we all do. If you don't like him, no one is forcing you to listen to his shows or buy his books.

Just wanted to tell you that I had tried several times to keto-adapt without exercising and could not make it work. The last time I gave up after 8 weeks of extremely low energy levels. Then I decided to start an aerobic exercise routine before going keto again, and that did the trick. I barely had any low-carb flu at all and my energy levels are quite good. Many in the Paleo community tend to suggest that weight-lifting or sprint efforts are the only things worth doing, but people should know that aerobic exercise can really tip the balance for people having difficulty with keto-adaptation!

Hmm... I thought Dr. Harris left the scene after embarrassingly supporting food reward when he probably could have written JS's series on hunger. While Dr. Harris had some cogent ideas on nutrition, I'm not sure his body of work in this context necessarily outweighs the efforts of Jimmy Moore.

For better or for worse, the major players in the ancestral health arena are doing interviews with Jimmy Moore. As a conduit for this information, ignorning Jimmy Moore would be akin to cutting off one's own nose to spite one's own face. Effectively, Evelyn is explicitly suggesting ignoring people like JS, and perhaps implicitly begging for undeserved attention. Seems rather crass to do so on JS's own blog.

Perhaps Evelyn can share her metabolic flexibility experiences. Or, at the very least explain how Jimmy Moore is adversely affecting your metabolic flexibility. Perhaps is stress anxiety?

It's hard to know if the posters are fakes or not in this bizarre little blog scene.

But one thing is clear: You're a wonderful source of useful information and explanation, J.Stanton.

And Dr. Kurt Harris, by the way, is perhaps the finest pure intellect LC/Paleo ever produced. It is to ALL our everlasting shame that he has taken his leave.

I don't know why so many feel the need to attack Jimmy Moore. All this purist nonsense is very tiresome. I don't agree with everything he personally espouses but he doesn't discriminate and has given exposure to a lot of great people who have a lot to add to the ancestral inspired health approach discussion.

Personally, I find his and similar podcasts provide not only entertainment value but also act as sort of support group for those of us who have no choice but restrict our diets to an ancestral diet as those that just want to live a healthier lifestyle. I am straight up allergic (determined by an MD and severe reactions) to so many foods, I have to eat a autoimmune paleo diet with additional restrictions and I can't tell you how much shows like Jimmy's help me cope with having to eat in a way that made me feel like a freak for so many years.

Some joke about becoming OCD about diet but in my case it is no joke. Its a very real medical condition I struggle with every day and to say it has made my life miserable and horribly isolated would be an understatement. I was diagnosed twenty years ago, long before "gluten-free" and paleo became popular and "trendy" and there were times I didn't think I would survive it due to the severe depression I suffered and having a kind and supportive voice has tremendous value.

I really enjoyed your interview J and look forward to getting your book when I am able. Is there any chance it will be released on iBooks or as an audiobook sometime in the future? My vision is very poor and I rely on digital books (so I can use a large font) or audiobooks most of the time.

Anyways, love the blog, J. Cheers and best wishes.

It's cool that Jimmy's helped you but, believe me: Jimmy only helped you because it also helped Jimmy. The guy's an aggressive marketer (Paleo water, anyone?) who will hijack ANY cause to make a buck.
