  • Nobody else is complaining.

  • This is the second video by Jimmy I've tried to watch. Once again he's stolen a minute of my time with that worthless, self-indulgent opening. This same lack of self-control surely contributed to Jimmy's former obesity. He's now merely transferred it. Control yourself, man! We watch such videos for specific purposes. We're not seeking entertainment from you, but information. Save the b.s. for your private audiences.

  • i know i'm 2 years to late. no candy bar for me

  • Good thing a low-carb diet isn't high-protein...it's high-FAT!

  • @livinlowcarbman Although it's arguable that a low carb diet has more protein than the SAD or low-fat diet. :)

  • High protien diet needs plenty of water!

  • Water is the source of life.

    It's obscene the amount of sugar-filled soda is drunk in this world.

  • Where can you get the candy bar ?

  • Check it out at ChocoPerfection dote come. :)

  • Now I made a very big no no not drinking water for the first two weeks. Another important point to make is that ketosis requires water because you are breaking the fat molecules apart which requires water since lipids (fat) is water soluble.

  • Sorry lipids ARE water soluble. Sheesh I get all scientific and I can't do english. LOL

  • THANKS queenmarylady! We love what we do...and have LOADS of fun doing it. Can you tell?  :)

  • LOL I am a heavy (water)drinker too, but it's good to be reminded of the need for water every day. You both always infuse your videos with such cute humor. I hope you never stop posting, this is too good to give up. Ooo would have loved to of tried one of your bars. Oh well maybe next time. :) See ya! lol..

  • You guys are DA BOMB!

  • KABOOM! THANK YOU! :)

  • i wish that chocolate bar was in jamaica...lol

  • Yeah, ME TOO!  :D

  • It has been said lately by Dr. Oz (one of the most respected docs out there) that you don't really need to drink 8 glasses a day, religiously. If one has a balanced diet, he/she already has a lot of liquids via good foods (fresh veggies, fruits). Too much water is overkill. Most people get their liquids through crappy sodas. And drinking throughout the day as oppose to in one sitting is far better, glad you finally made that clear. Fiber + water combo is what helps constipation, not just water.

  • True, kali, but most people don't get enough water in the first place. It's why I keep a bottle by my side most of the time. I love it and it has served me well over the past four years. THANKS for your comment!

  • roflmao, this video made me laugh for real...added it to my favs:)

  • Oh, I peed for days after this one! :D Glad you enjoyed it. :)

  • Great video! I've never seen stats on it, but I'd bet the average person does not get the water they need daily...thanks guys, great video!

  • You are so right, whamfan87! Water is an essential key to health most people ignore.

  • Water does do my skin great!!!...i can ALWAYS tell through my skin if im getting enough water!

  • Me too!

  • don't drink too much that can be unhealthy too

  • You'd have to drink about 8-10 gallons of water in a day to drink "too much." That ain't gonna happen! But thanks for your comments!

  • wow i love water

  • Me too...can you tell? :D

  • oh my goodness, Jimmy,

    did you puke after all that water????

    You guys are hilarious!

  • No, but I peed for hours! LOL!

  • lol that was one of my favorite videos

  • I was peeing for hours after that video! LOL! THANKS for watching!

  • You two are great! I just came across your videos today. I want to drop 25lbs and eat better. I guess I'll pick up the Atkins book. Thank you both! :-)ps. My wife and I will be married 25 years this July! We are very HAPPY!

  • CONGRATS on a quarter century of wedded bliss! WOO HOO! And you WILL lose that 25 pounds if you stick to the solid principles of low-carb living. THANK YOU for watching!

  • Ciao,

    This was a fantastic video. It is the first time that I saw your videos, but so funny and fantastic. Loved it. I too am following Atkins Low Carb. First week in, and lost 3.3lbs. yaa

  • YAY, SamsHabeby!!!  WOO HOO! Keep watching our videos and be encouraged in your healthy low-carb lifestyle. :)

  • Umm didnt that college kid die from drinking 8 classes of water in one sitting? Sounds dangerous to do that.

  • Well, if drinking 8 glasses of water is supposed to make you "die," then I should have been dead long ago. I drink 1-2 GALLONS of water a day. No, it is not "dangerous" to drink water. I seriously doubt it was water that killed that college student. He'd have to drink 10 gallons in one day--IMPOSSIBLE!

  • That kid died from a lot more than 64oz. It was during a water chugging contest and it diluted his electrolytes. It has happened a few times but it is very rare.

  • Great episode! Thanks Jimmy and Christine.

  • THANKS for watching!!!

  • Hey Jimmy and Christine, hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I am just now getting caught up on watching videos.

  • ENJOY Tami! :D

  • Yes, water is great. It's my second favorite after oxygen. Your chocolate bar sounds great too!

  • I like that...second only to oxygen! If we think of water as essential as air, then people will take it more seriously. GOOD LUCK in the drawing for my chocolate. :D

  • that was great, love the h20 bubby you did it, I am needing to get back to that, backed off but would like to try the flavors you've talked about. Thanks you both, love all the encouragment, you help me to not feel along... blessing, Rene'

  • You are NOT alone, Rene', and we're happy to be here. Go to my blog to find a link to some free samples of the TrueLemon products. You'll LOVE 'em! :D

  • Hi Christine and Jimmy...LOVE your video's! My daughter and I both watch them. We love to drink water. I can tell when I do not drink it my body feels different for sure! I started the DASH Diet in November & have lost 20 lbs. Plus exercising...Thanks for introducing us to Dana Carpender and her snak book! We both LOVE chocolate!! Would be a nice treat to win! Thanks for your inspiration! Susan and My daughter Jessica

  • Hey Susan and Jessica, THANKS so much for watching and I appreciate your feedback! Let us know how we can help you along in your journey to better health. :)

  • Thanks for the reminder. I have gotten pretty lax about my water consumption. Four months in and I have lost 52lbs. Thanks Jimmy & Christine.

  • Keep that FABULOUS weight loss going! :D

  • I lost all my weight on low carb back in 2000 and later gained it back because of going back to eating junk food. After eight years of low fat diets that don't work and watching your videos and website - I've decided to choose the Low Carb lifestyle - Thanks

  • YEAH!!!!  YOU CAN DO THIS! Let me know how I can help in any way. Best wishes on your newfound journey.

  • Yes I ALWAYS drink at least 8 glasses of water a day!!! Just not that fast!

  • Try to drink MORE than 8 glasses and watch what happens to how you feel and your weight. You'll be amazed!

  • Was 300 in July, now 250 in January, another 80 to go! Another thing that I believe is important with water... it'll reduce the likelihood of kidney stones, commmon with low-carb diets, because it'll flush the junk out before it can form a stone. (I had two stones from previous times on the diet... but none when I've had lots of water). How did we, as a nation, get addicted to sugar? Anyway... thanks for your support and encouragement! You two are great!

  • GREAT JOB on your weight loss and KEEP IT GOING!!! I agree about the water flushing out your system to avoid kidney stones. I've NEVER had one and I'm sure it has a lot to do with my high water consumption. Sugar addiction? It couldn't have anything to do with the fact that sugar is in virtually EVERYTHING we eat and drink, can it? :)

  • They sure do put sugar in everything... even in meat! (what's with that?!} It's almost like a conspiracy between the sugar industry and the pharmaceutical companies (for insulin). (Ok... probably no conspiracy... but I sure wish there was a NO SUGAR line of foods... I would probably spend a lot for that! hmmmmm... business possibilities...).

  • I wouldn't put it past being a conspiracy because it's too coincidental not to be.

  • Hi Jimmy and Christine,

    Great Job getting all that water down so quickly. Your point was made. I've been getting recommitted after a little stumble during the holidays, and WATER is at the top of my list. Exercise and Low Carbing are right up there with the water. Gained about 7 lbs during the Christmas week and glad to say 5 of it is gone. This time I hope for good. By the way "YOU GUYS ARE THE BOMB".

  • LOL! Welcome back to LLVLC, Shari! You da bomb, too! :D

  • great video! I started low carb before the holiday's, and I'm hoping to do better now that the holiday's are past us...

  • You'll do GREAT! Just keep at it and NEVER GIVE UP! That's what I tell people is the secret to weight loss success. Let me know if I can help you in any way.

  • Thank you for sharing, Jimmy.

    Water is SO very important for success on this WOE. A properly hydrated body will definitely let go of the weight more willingly!

    Happy Healthy Low Carbing!

    Laura

  • Happy drinking water for your health, Laura! :)

  • I'm in my first week of livinlavidalowcarb and I've been taking two 32 oz bottles of water to work and drinking one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I'm making a lot of trips to the bathroom but I think of it as washing out my fat so I look forward to those trips! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!

  • You're exactly right! Those trips are a blessing. :D

  • Wow! I know I couldn't stomach that much in such a short time! But good for you! I definitely need more plain ole water in my day. But also I have heard that it can be dangerous to drink too much water too quickly...(One radio station had a contest in 2007 and the woman died from water intoxication) Do you have any idea what that amount is and what the time frame is on that?

  • She died from HOLDING HER BLADDER IN and NOT from the water consumption. The media got that headline wrong, but what else is new? You'd have to drink about 10 gallons of water (which you COULDN'T do!) to have it come close to being "toxic."

  • Oh ok phew! Just checking.  I knew I saw that on the news a while back. Thanks for the reply!! :-)

  • Sure! Anytime.

  • Well...if I can count Diet Coke,or Diet Pepsi as flavored water.....then I get plenty of water in one day....

    Way to suck down the 'ol H2O there Jimmy!

    Burt

  • Nope, doesn't count Burt! LOL! Gotta get that REAL water in there too. :D

  • I think you are going to float away!!! I drink a ton of water and go through a 5 gallon jug in a week just by myself! (Well my two little kids help a little) I aim to have to refill my water cooler at the end of every week! Keep up the good work my friend!

  • Keep drinking and teaching those kids to get their water, too!

  • You made me smile with drinking all that water. How did you do that! Whew! I enjoy all your video's. Keep up the good work!

  • Big bladder!  :P

  • My biggest problem, is drinking water...I drink all day long,but it is ice tea or Diet Dr. Pepper...I need something that would kick start me into drinking water...I know water is better for you, but somehow, it is very difficult for me to get started on drinking what is best for me...HELP...!!!

  • You know what I do? I keep a big water bottle with me at all times. I have to drink all the water in that bottle before I allow myself to have another kind of drink (Diet Rite is my favorite!). Just keep sipping water all day and it becomes a good habit.

  • Jimmy...THANK YOU...and will give it a try and hope I succeed....!!!

  • Don't HOPE you'll succeed...SUCCEED!!!

  • Water Logged Jimmy, I just ate a dozen cookies I feel sick. and stupid. I should have drank water instead. Great Show buddy

  • COOKIES?!?!?!!! Are you TRYING to sabotage yourself, Paul? WOW! Get back on it buddy and NEVER GIVE UP!!!

  • Yea I had a moment, anyway I took the coconut oil you recomended and I think I prevented a sugar spike anyway Im back on track. Thanks Jimmy

  • Go boy!

  • Wow, that's hilarious! I'm not sure I would've been able to drink all that water that quickly. Great video, guys.

  • I'm a thirsty fella! :)

  • I LOVE watching your videos. My husband and I often watch them together. I've learned so much from them.

    I like True Orange in my water as well as True Lemon. It's nice to have a little flavor without any sweetner!

  • The best part of those True Lemon products is there is NO sugar or artificial anything in them. I'll be doing a video on that stuff soon. THANKS to both you and your husband for watching MisaLady!

  • Once again, you guys rock! Keep them coming, we enjoy your videos!

  • We will keep makin' them if you keep watching them!

  • Jimmy and Christine, I just love that you all are just yourselves on the videos. You don't put on a front, but show us your true personalities. Drinking water is a major component in helping me to lose weight. Another fine job, you all.

    Cathy

  • THANKS Cathy! What you see is what you get...warts and all. :D We have fun making videos, can you tell? :P

  • Happy New year!!

    LOL I just poured me a 32 oz cup of flavored water before sitting down to watch your video. I started fresh and new on my low carb lifestyle on Jan. 1 and I weighed in tonight at my Tops group and lost 4 lbs. I just finished reading your book last night and loved it! I learned so much!!

    Thank you so much for your encouragement and support while I lose weight and hopfully start looking great in 2008!

    Blessings to you both,

    countrymom

  • This is YOUR year, countrymom! Let me know how I can help you along in this journey to better health. DRINK UP!!!

  • Wow, I can't beleive you drank all that water that fast!!! Blaaa!!! Great video as always!! Keep 'em coming!!

  • I've always been a heavy drinker...HICK! :P

  • Great video guys. Been low carbing since Oct 26 and have dropped 15 lbs. so fat...down to 205 now. Your videos keep me on track. You make my day when a new one comes out...so keep um comming Jumpin' Jammin' Jimmy!

  • You betcha! :) CONGRATS on your success so far and KEEP IT UP!

  • Hey Jimmy, another great one, you should have weighed yourself before and after. Anyway, gimme the bars, I'm a baraholic. I try just about every one of them I can get my hands on, always looking for new ones. It's amazing how small the selection gets when you try to find a protein bar that's also low carb. So bring it on! Mmm...

  • Actually I did! I gained SEVEN pounds. LOL! My weight was back down within 3 hours.

  • hmmmmm who gave you the idea for this video...I wonder lol Great video as always jimmy and christine. I'm going to send you a message on another suggestion for a video. If you don't mind. I know I;m annoying with messages but oh well lol

  • Yes, Tony, THANK YOU for the suggestion. :D As for that other subject, it's already in the hopper for a future video.

  • glad to help you out....wow that's the first time I had to say that to you lol

  • You'll be helping more people than you know before long if you keep up the great work.

  • :) thanks Jimmy

  • You are VERY welcome!

  • I'm peeing myself just watching this.

  • Bad visual, bad visual! LOL!

  • I love you guys. "entertaining and informative" is certainly accurate. I have lost 120 pounds so far and only 25 more to go. Low carb is working for me. Thank you for sharing your own experiences and informing me. Any chance you guys will cover the "excess skin" issue? It is becoming an issue with me :)

  • Sometime soon I will be addressing loose skin. I've hit it a lot at my blog and it's an important issue to discuss.

  • By the way Jimmy :), I really miss the intro-music from your first set of You Tube Videos. It's so uplifting and insperational. The new one is ok but I really love the previous one.

  • THANKS for the feedback, JayCee! I switched theme music and will continue to do that from time to time because I don't want the show to become old and stale. If they all sound alike, then nobody would watch, right? :)

  • yep true. It is after all a low carb show and low carb is all about variety *8-)

  • YEPPERS!!!

  • Nice video Jimmy.

    Christene I love your input. You go gal !

    Can the next LLVLC You Tube price maybe be one of those awesome glasses you have that seems to be filling itself all the time? hehe

    On a serious note, if anyone follows Atkins/LLVLC correctly you will notice that Supplements+Nutrition are very important. In order for me to get all the recommended supplementation I drink at least a glass or two of water just to get the pills down - so thats another two glasses down!

    JayCee

  • I may do a video just on all the supplements I take, too, Jaycee! It's a handful. I don't think we've done that yet, but I'll double check.

  • Actually, we DID do that video before.

  • hey! i only just found your videos and it's really interesting to watch! i'm from south east asia, singapore to be exact.. any chance i can order those bars online? =]

    oh by the way, the vids are really helpful! i'm trying to watch all of them right now! =] haha. and i agree, eating spicy food will definetly help you drink more water. lol. i should know.. cos the food here is SUPER spicy.

  • Welcome amsani22! I'm so happy to have you here and appreciate you leaving a comment. Unfortunately because of the "melt" factor with my chocolate, they are not available to ship overseas. But THANK YOU for watching and hopefully you'll be able to come to the US sometime.

  • haha. yea i realised after trawling the internet that it can't be shippied over. but hey maybe i can go to the US for a summer exchange program with my UNI or something! =] that'll be cool. but wanted to say, i'll keep watching and thanks for all the GREAT videos on weight loss. it's really helping me. =]

  • Happy to help! :)

  • You guys crack me up! Keep up the great videos~~~

  • Crack ya like an egg! :P

  • Yes, water, water, water. Does a body good. I tend to drink much more in the summer and this was a good reminder to drink lots even during the winter months.

    Yippers (sorry couldn't resist), your "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Bars" sound yummy. Chocolate & Raspberry - ummmm! Definately a winning combination.

    Keep those videos comin'.

  • It's true, summertime makes it easy to guzzle the water. But winter is just as important and I drink mine lukewarm.

  • Hi Jimmy and Christine!

    My daughter made a good point to me just a few minutes before I came and watched your video. A "glass" of water is technically 8 oz, isn't it? I mean, I know the more the better, but really, to get in the "recommended" amount, you'd need only drink the equivilant of about 3 soda's (20 oz). And that doesn't seem quite as scary or difficult as "8 GLASSES OF WATER". LOL Just a thought!

    P.S. Please put my name in the hat for those candy bars! hehehe

  • You are DEFINITELY in the running for the bars and good point about the 20-ounce bottles. It doesn't seem so bad. Actually those eight glasses just scratch the surface on what I already drink (if you didn't notice, I can drink a lot!). LOL!

  • I was just wondering tonight when the next installment would be-thanks! It's all TRUE!!! Water is vital. It helps me w/ mental clarity! Think about it~the earth is 70% H2O and SO ARE WE! It should be a no brainer! One of the things that LC is all about is getting back to a healthier WOE and how much closer to nature can it be than pure H2O?

    I was happy to hear that there is tru lime! I LOVE limes in my water. yummie!

    Thanks guys, see 'ya next time!

    Theresa in Savannah

  • I like a good lime in my water and even my diet sodas, Savannah! You'll LOVE the True Lime available at your local grocery store or online at TrueLemon dot com.

  • My skin looks a million times better ever since I started the low carb life. I even find myself "craving" water if I don't get my daily dose. Another great video Jimmy and Christine! Happy 2008!

  • That's WILD how you can "CRAVE" water, but it's true. If your tongue is tingling from all the dryness, then you are already beyond thirsty. Don't ever let that happen.

  • As usual just love your video as they are so informative as well as entertaining. After watching I went straight to the fridge and took out my water bottle and started drinking. I need reminding some times as before LC I hardly drank anything other than coffee.

  • It's funny how I never really thought about or cared how much water was going into my body before I started livin' la vida low-carb. Now I'm constantly sipping for a whole host of reasons I am very happy to live with for the rest of my life. :)

  • Change that from 8 glasses to ten liters and the person may die from water toxicity. I drank a lot of water while losing weight too, but I feel your video needs a footnote about excess.

  • I think anyone watching could see I drank eight 8-ounce glasses of water which is a good MINIMUM for your daily intake. Like I said, I drank 2 gallons of water during my weight loss and even today I still drink about 1-2 gallons daily. As long as you don't hold back urination, you should be fine.

  • I just love your videos, I had Gastric Bypass Oct 23, 07 and I live in this little town called Payette, Id and I have to drive 100 or so miles to get the things I need, it's horriable, I no longer eat sugar, fat, carbs, carbonation, or caffine, dont use a straw or anything like that, I went two health food stores to buy your bar and no luck I must go the 100 miles, I would love to try it, any other low card no carb high protein stuff? Thanks Kristy

  • You won't find my chocolate bar in stores yet, but I listed links to all three online stores (CarbSmart, Amazon, and Netrition) where you can purchase them under "About This Video" at the top right side.

  • wow thats great. Ive purchased from Nettrition before and actually got a nice tshirt from them :) Will definatly get some.

    I know you are quite close to the people from ATKINS - how do they correspond to your new product, is it direct competition for them or more like complimenting the main goal ?

  • Actually, I don't correspond with the "people from Atkins" Nutritionals, Inc. other than in a business relationship when they have sponsored my blog in the past. I know several Atkins researchers and have met and interviewed Veronica Atkins, but that's the extent of it.

  • ahh ok :) Years ago we tried to import some of their bars and they all came in lil broken pieces when they arrived in South Africa. I really feel like immigrating - you americans are so privelidged to be able to find the products on shelves. I once went to a health shop here and ask them if they have any low-carb products. The assistant just look at me and said, no sir this is a health store we dont sell cars... I rest my case *g*

  • LOL! We don't sell cars. HA HA HA!!!

  • Great video, as usual! Water is really really important when losing weight. Any week when I haven't lost a lot, it's usually because my water intake was low.

  • This is arguably the most overlooked aspect of livin' la vida low-carb. Thanks for watching Brian!

  • Way to chug Jimmy! I take a 1/2 gallon water jug everywhere with me lol.

  • I keep a big water bottle with me all the time too. Wouldn't think of ever leaving home without it! :)

  • Bahahahahaha!!! OMG, that was soooo funny!!!

    *pees pants laughing*

  • Happy to entertain you. I peed for three hours in a row after that video.  LOL!!!

  • I have gone back to Induction and following it to the letter and my, how the water runs through you. Happy New Year to you both!! And don't forget to mention Fran Mcculloughs Low Carb Books....they are among my favorites. Dewberry from Atlanta

  • Love Fran too! Do well on your new commitment.

  • You guys are great... I love watching your videos as they are always informative and usually funny too... :) I try and drink about 100 ounces a day... I have been on my low carb diet for about 10 weeks and have lost over 40 lbs so far... I just started reading Good Calories Bad Calories... Thank for the advice and support... Happy New Year!!! Keep up the grat work... Dan :)

  • Opps!!! that is keep up the "Great Work" thanks... ;)

  • WAY TO GO, Dan! WOO HOO! Keep up the AWESOME work on your low-carb lifestyle. Drink up! :D

  • anyone else get dry mouth AFTER they drink their water? Wassup with that? ..... maybe its just me..... wouldnt be the first time. =) Thanks guys.

  • Sounds like the chlorine in your water! That's why I drink triple filtered water.

  • Yes, the true lemon stuff you sent is just phenominal. Thanks so much and happy, happy new year to you both. :D

  • Glad you enjoyed it!!!

  • It was nice having jimmy drink all that water so it would give Christine a chance to talk...Kidding

  • Amen buddy! I wanted her to talk more in this episode, although she was a bit apprehensive about it. She's kinda shy, ya know! ;)
