Hello and welcome back to another in-depth look at the evolving world of low-carb dieting at the only diet and health program you can count on twice a week to bring you quality interviews with the news makers and shakers who are helping people change their lives for the better. It’s The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show With Jimmy Moore!

Today, Jimmy follows up with the folks at Atkins Nutritionals regarding the concerns that some listeners have had about the company distancing itself from the late great Dr. Robert C. Atkins’ core principles. You may have seen their recent marketing campaign and web site relaunch boasting of “lean protein” and “healthy whole grains.” Since none of this kind of language lines up with what most of us associate with the Atkins diet that Dr. Atkins share for three decades, Jimmy wanted to get to the bottom of it and speak with a representative from the Atkins company for himself to ask the tough questions.

Atkins Nutritionals spokeswoman Colette Heimowitz, who is the only remaining employee at the company from the days of Dr. Atkins, was delighted to share a conversation with us explaining the new marketing perspective Atkins Nutritionals is using, the reasons behind it, and why it really isn’t a change in anything other than reminding people about positive aspects of the plan that are often overlooked.

Colette also shares information about what has happened at Atkins Nutritionals following the emergence from bankruptcy two years ago, some familiar names on the new all-star consulting team, and what features will be re-introduced at the Atkins Nutritionals web site. As a bonus, listen in for the best reason to consider going off Induction!

If you wanted to know what is happening at Atkins Nutritionals right now, then here’s your chance to get the full scoop straight from the horse’s mouth. As always, listen and ENJOY and leave us your comment below or by calling (206) 202-6516 anytime and leaving your spoken message.

Hello and welcome to another fascinating look at the world of low-carb science and health brought to you as only “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show With Jimmy Moore” can!

In today’s show, after much listener demand, Dr. Keith Berkowitz of the Center for Balanced Health has agreed to return yet again for another chat with Jimmy to answer all of those burning questions that were submitted by YOU! When he last joined us a few months ago, Dr. Berkowitz discussed the possibility that long-term low-carb dieting could lead to reactive hypoglycemia based on the observations he has seen in his patients–many of whom were patients of the late great Dr. Robert C. Atkins before his untimely death in 2003 (incidentally, it was Dr. Berkowitz who was the first to see Dr. Atkins after his slip and fall on ice).
