I never subscribe to podcasts, but I'm interested in subscribing to yours, do I do that via Itunes?

[livinlowcarbman]

@mariilink It's on iTunes if you search "low-carb" there or you can visit TheLivinLowCarbShow dot come slash show notes

[livinlowcarbman]

I put a link to the appearance in the notes section below the video, Hugh.

Thanks Jimmy for this interview. There is nothing like having the man who is being disparaged by Dr. Oz speak for himself.

[livinlowcarbman]

@alphacause That's why I wanted him on my show. Hopefully this answers a lot of the questions and concerns people had.

[Mommy0fTwins]

I, for one, do not get tired of listening (or watching) Gary Taubes.

[livinlowcarbman]

@Mommy0fTwins I told Gary that. :D

[alphacause]

The very fact that Gary did not go for a low blow, and make an association between Dr. Oz's precancerous growth and his mostly vegetarian high carb diet, demonstrates how much more intellectual integrity that Taubes has than Dr. Oz.

[cfoster3406]

I was very proud of Gary Taubes because he was really cool with Dr Oz trying to crack jokes and make Low Carbing look bad. No wonder Oprah is still fat...

[wilma96100]

they don't differentiate between crappy fat like processed factory farmed meat/trans fat and health promoting fat like grass fed beef/ fish/avocado.

[rsmorales]

Dr. Oz is so frustrating!! Gary/Jimmy, thanks for doing what you do. Keep up the good work! You are saving lives.

[KorionDotNet]

Who cares Dr. Oz did it like this! More meat for us, and it'll be cheaper! Dr. Oz is a batiboy anyways :D.

[wendys120]

I lost any and all respect for Dr. Oz after watching this episode.

[melymeld]

@alphacause I'd like to know if Dr. Oz even read GCBC or WWGF. So sad GT was manipulated into such a negative way....makes me wonder if the Oprah puppet has disorted other programs too. I think a big plus would have been to bring on successful followers of GT.

[melymeld]

@hnainfo Yes! A very good point that gets lost or misinterpreted sometimes with the label of low/no carb.

[byroncliff]

This is why I do not watch Television anymore, I actually threw out my Television.
