I’m a teenage girl from Richmond, Virginia and my parents started the keto diet in March 2016. I watched both of them lose weight and get healthy. The day before I started keto, I had a sleepover with my best friend where I easily consumed over 300 grams of carbs! WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?! On July 20, 2019, I decided that I had enough of eating carb-filled processed foods and went keto not for weight loss but to improve my health. It wasn’t easy at first but I knew my health was more important than any carby food I thought I wanted. I didn’t want to go down the same path my parents did becoming fat and sick as adults. Since going keto, I have never felt better. I have so much more energy, my sleep h

The day we’ve all been waiting for since Jimmy Moore went away on a self-imposed six-month sabbatical on September 1, 2019. “The Man Of Real” is back today with a brand new focus, and boy does he have a story to tell. “I know a lot of people show their real lives on social media, but there’s a lot of fakery. That stuff is toxic. Let’s be REAL.” – Jimmy Moore When you start bringing up sensitive things like childhood trauma it could really go south very quickly if you address it too flippantly and without a purpose in mind. But for those of you who watched it already, Jimmy’s primary goal is to be open, honest, and vulnerable in ways you’ve probably never seen anybody be before online—and to leave you with things to think about so you can better yourself. ⁣⁣ There is a very fine line between being real in ways that open people’s eyes to their own life and being a discouragement to those who are still working through issues from their past. I can assure you that I am working hard on finding that proper balance

“These physicians don’t want you to know that fats are healthy for you.” – Jimmy Moore The rise in popularity of low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diets in recent years has become a worldwide phenomenon. From the United States to Canada to South Africa and Australia, the keto message is out there in full force.

The perfect example of this–Australian keto nutritionist Christine Cronau is now being targeted by a group called Friends of Science in Medicine who is calling for her to be not invited to speak. Read the story below. Calls to ban controversial nutritionist from University of Melbourne: https://www.smh.com.au/national/victoria/calls-to-ban-controversial-nutritionist-from-university-of-melbourne-20190319-p515fa.html Health podcaster and international bestselling author of KETO CLARITY Jimmy Moore, who has shared the stage with Christine previously, says that this kind of attempt at censorship o

“I’m lucky that I never had a complete breakdown of health, but my health was in the toilet. It took me so long to unhook from the standard American diet and get my health back.” - Melissa Grabau Have you ever stopped to wonder why some people are able to fully latch on to a lifestyle change to produce amazing results in their weight and health while others seems to lack that internal fire and motivation to make it happen for themselves? What is the difference between those who succeed and those who remain mired in the mediocrity of their current habits? This is something that is not really talked about a lot in the Paleo, primal, and low-carb communities and yet Roseville, California-based clinical psychologist Melissa Grabau, PhD identifies this as the “vital missing ingredient” in the ability of the health community to bring about real paradigm-shifting change on a massive scale. As a certified yoga teacher who integrates specific mind-body techniques from her training as a psychotherapist, Melissa has fo
