the scandal

The JM scandal is upsetting

To everyone who knows him. 

And everyone knows him. 

Jimmy Moore. 

Living La Vida LowCarb man. 

And you know how people like to talk. 

And eat. People like to eat. 

Junk. We like to eat junk. 

What’s not to like? 

It’s designed to be tasty. 

But you expect more from a leader. 

A self-appointed spokesman. 

If you put yourself out there,

Every day for years- 

You can expect some pushback. 

One of his last “rants” was that

He no longer feels supported 

By the Keto and LC Community. 

Well- no shit. 

He claimed to be transparent. 

And healing from his own abuse. 

From his traumatic childhood. 

How and why would he 

Allegedly be abusive to any child? 

It’s mind blogging. 

He’s innocent until proven guilty. 

But 7 counts? Extradited?

It doesn’t look good for JM. 

People who wrote books with him 

Are publicly cutting ties. 

He isn’t getting much support. 

It’s like watching an empire crumble. 

We have our very own Jared. 

I’ve been upset since I found out. 

I don’t want to believe it. 

It’s public record now. 

In case you haven’t heard,

Jimmy is being charged

7 counts of felony indecency 

With a child or children 

Age 13 to 15. 

Few details are emerging. 

This whole last month, 

Jimmy was posting junk like this. 

Crazy junk. 

Mostly shirtless. 

Silly goofy flirty odd things. 

Smirky, Code, Cutsey

And he made live videos 

Knowing he was a fugitive from justice 

With court dates 16 May. 

What was he thinking? 

“Come you spirits,

That tend on mortal thoughts, 

unsex me here.”

“Out damned spot-

Out! I say!”

Lady McBeth

Or him in the shower. 

Or an ice bath. 

Lots of skin. 

And his regain- he says it just 

Came back despite his best effort. 

And after all his books, his knowledge, 

And thousands of podcasts 

Books on ketosis and fasting! 

- Usually one hour-long podcast

 a day for 13 years! -

He still fails at LC. 

Inconceivable! 

Well. Here goes. *Deep breath*

I’m here to say that LC never fails

Unless you cheat. And eat carbs. 

But then again, that would NOT  be LC! 

I gain on 300 carbs a day. 

I plateau on 50 carbs a day. 

I lose on basically zero carbs. 

I’m pretty resistant. 

It’s like gaining weight while fasting. 

It’s physically and literally 

Impossible. 

No matter what people say. 

Even if you temporarily stalled, 

After 10 years of minimal effort,

You would have something to show

For your effort. 

Even a pound a month adds up. 

We all have damaged metabolism. 

We all have some trauma. 

Some - obviously more than others. 

But we all don’t regain 

All our weight and then some. 

I do believe he spent more time

As an obese man, than he did as a slender man. 

He has not been slender 

For the past several years. 

People have been roasting 

Jimmy for years. 

True observation. Not criticism. 

I’ve reached out to several Bloggers 

And we’re upside down

About how hard maintenance is. 

It’s really the challenge of a lifetime. 

But I’ve done my research. 

I trust my food choices and

I trust Atkins.

 I trust my life to Low Carb. 

My LC “Rules” :

Meat and Salad. 

Meat and Veggie. 

Any Meat. Any non-starchy Veg. 

Fast frequently for discipline 

And health and weight control. 

Most of us eat way too much food. 

Many of us can’t  process carbs

Like we did when we were kids. 

Obviously. Or we wouldn’t have this

First World Problem of Morbid Obesity. 

Also- consume moderate (not high) fat. 

I have no gallbladder 

So I never did well with the 

Keto Bombs or Sticks of Butter. 

Let your body gobble up

The fat we have on board. 

It stores up faster than we think. 

We need to be brutally honest 

With ourselves. 

We all have to look at the mirror 

And be sure of ourselves. 

And our choices. 

And our lives. 

Amen and Amen. 

If anyone wants to talk more about this

Please reach out. 

We can only speculate right now. 

But our LC group is all watching this

Unfold in real time. 

It’s like when a Blogging Friend dies. 

It’s not easy.  

Peace Out.
