Treating Unborn Babies for Obesity

In the past four years, the rates of "sumo" babies, born weighing over 11 pounds, in the UK have risen 50%. In the US, last July a texas woman, delivered a baby weighing 16 pounds!!  These babies being obese at birth, tend to grow up and remain obese.

To prevent these babies from being born obese, doctors are now medicating them with diabetes medicine while they are still in the womb. How do they know which babies to treat? Their mom are obese. Not so shockingly, obese moms give birth to obese babies, they then raise those children, who become obese adults.

Cindy Sneed and Patty Pittman join us today for Episode 16 of Low-Carb Conversations with Jimmy Moore & Friends!

Join Jimmy and Mindy on the Virtual Porch gabbing with Cindy and Patty about today’s topics, including the Dreamfield’s “low-carb” pasta controversy, the necessity of carbs when suffering from an impaired thyroid, delicious low-carb recipes, whether you should eat carbs every few days or stay strict low-carb all the time, and much, MUCH more!


Listen in here!

I Have Been Duped, Lied To, Baboozled! Were you?

I really dislike franken-foods. Back in the day, when it really was a low-carb 'craze', every food company was coming out with low carb foods. I remember getting a loaf of low carb white bread. It had an odd taste, but I thought I could live with it. That loaf of "bread" was later found behind a box of crackers. It had to have been there for 6 weeks. That bread looked, smelled and felt like it did on the day I bought it. I knew food was not meant to be preserved like that so I tossed it and stayed away from "low carb" versions of food I shouldnt eat.

There was one exception, Dreamfields Pasta. I have been a loyal customer for YEARS. It tastes just like the real thing. Yes it is twice the price, but we are talking pasta. Pasta is really cheap. That $2 can feed four people  It definitely stretched the food budget. I stopped eating it about a year ago when I started the Primal 30 day Challenge. But the kids, well every once in a while I would get a request for some mac and cheese, or spaghetti and meatballs. I thought I was making the better food choice for them. The propiatry protien blend and their patented process that made the carbs undigestable would be "ok" just once in a while.

I was lied to and so were you!

Blood Sugar readings after eating different foods

Recently there was a low-carb cruise with many speakers incuding a doctor named  Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt . At the end of his lecture he briefly spoke about Dreamfield's and the blood sugar spike that mimics the spike you get from eating 'regular' pasta.

They did two studies, the first was with 5 "older people" and the second from "young people". None of the subjects had diabetes. Weather young or old, it didn't matter, the glucose curve remained the same for each group. Dreamfield's sugar spike is almost the same as regular pasta. 

I have learned my lesson for good this time. No more franken-foods for my family! I have to thank Jimmy Moore for bringing this to my attention.
