In this episode I'm chatting with Jimmy and Christine Moore, authors of Real Food Keto: Applying Nutritional Therapy to Your Low-Carb, High-Fat Diet. Jimmy is the personality behind popular blog Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb and the host of the longest-running and top-ranked iTunes health podcast, The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show, as well as Keto Talk, The KetoHacking MD Podcast, and The Nutritional Pearls Podcast. He’s also the international bestselling author of Keto Clarity, The Ketogenic Cookbook, and The Complete Guide To Fasting. Christine Moore is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who specializes in real food–based low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic nutrition through her Rebooting Your Nutrition business (www.rebootingyournutrition.com). Christine and Jimmy are the cohosts of The Nutritional Pearls Podcast (www.nutritionalpearlspodcast.com).   In this podcast, Jimmy and Christine discuss what "real food keto" is, if someone should try keto or paleo first, and why you should eat whole foods. Jimmy and Christine share the importance of micronutrients and how to get enough in your diet. They discuss salt intake, vitamin D, magnesium, balancing electrolytes, the importance of zinc, and more. We also discuss inflammation and the role of prostaglandins, the truth about cholesterol, and eating high fat without a gallbladder. They also discuss tweaking macronutrient ratios for keto, if calories or food quality matters, why they count total carbs instead of net carbs, and more. You can find more from Jimmy and Christine in their book, Real Food Keto, on Amazon.
