Links you should see

There has been a lot of great info posted lately in the low-carb blogosphere. Since I’ve had little to no time to work on anything of my own, I thought I’d share the posts that have caught my attention lately.

Dr. Davis talks about low-carb breakfast options (and explains why Kellogg is the last person we should listen to about breakfast), in his post “What’s For Breakfast?”.

Remember when I talked about my “great find” of a low-carb cook book from Better Homes and Gardens?  Dana Carpender had a similar experience with a book she recently bought. She shares the details here.

Tom Naughton discusses the latest craziness coming from the research community. What are they saying now? That statins should be available as a condiment in fast food restaurants. As Tom so eloquently puts it “They’re not condoms for your arteries”. Well said Tom, well said.

I have more to share, but I have a BBQ to attend so I’ll have to get back to you later. Bring on the meat! :)

Win Jimmy Moore’s 21 Life Lessons Book

If anyone can tell you a little somethin’-somethin’ about the low-carb lifestyle, it’s Jimmy Moore. His amazing success on the Atkins plan has given him not only a whole new lease on life, but a new career as well! Jimmy spends his days blogging, podcasting, youtube-ing and writing about all things low-carb. Just watching all he does wears me out. But he’s a man driven by a purpose – to help others learn.

In his latest book, 21 Life Lessons, Jimmy takes the time to share a variety of great information. You’ll learn why cholesterol numbers aren’t as important as you may think. You’ll read about how you can attain amazing health benefits through a low-carb lifestyle. You’ll also learn from his personal experiences in regards to living this lifestyle, as well as putting yourself on the internet for all to see, and sometimes attack. Jimmy has seen his fair share of ridicule and hatred while working to spread the message of low-carb living. Recent studies, nutrition, disease prevention… it’s all here in 21 Life Lessons from Livin’ La Vida Low Carb. The last chapter was the hardest for me to read. You get a glimpse of Jimmy’s difficult childhood, as well as the pain of seeing his brother tragically, and and unnecessarily, pass away.

I applaud Mr. Moore for laying it all out on the line, in front of everyone who will pay attention, with the hopes of making a difference. Well done Jimmy. Well done.

Win an autographed copy of Fat Head

Wow, the time has just flown by! We only have two days left in the giveaway and I still have a few prizes to tell you about!

This prize is by far one of my favorite and most recommended DVDs. Tom Naughton’s Fat Head is an educational and entertaining look at the obesity “epidemic” and the science behind why we really gain weight. You can see my full review here.

Below is one of my favorite scenes from Fat Head. My kids love this as well because the visuals Tom uses really helped them understand how the body uses and stores fat.

Tom has graciously offered to give one lucky reader an autographed copy of Fat Head! Don’t miss this chance to win this awesome prize! Tomorrow, Feb. 25th, is your last day to enter!
