At the risk of being shouted down, I want to stick up for Jimmy and note that much of this page goes beyond discussing his interview and its just ad hom Jimmy bashing. Try to argue the topic, not the person. If you disagree with someone, try to stay off their Facebook page looking for something to criticize!

Go to iTunes, look up Jimmy's new Ask the Low Carb Experts, and see if you think he's doing a bad job.

Sure, Jimmy was big, found low carb, got excited and wrote a book, did his news thing, and still struggles. Now his news thing is his business, and his struggle is part of it. Plenty of people in his situation identify with this and follow along, as Jimmy asks anyone who knows something about every topic he can find. Is that so bad? Paleo has answers and ideas. Paleo should be proud that others see common ground.

Most bloggers and writers come at you with what they figured out. Jimmy is still looking and some folks just follow along for the ride too. I'm on his forum, which is real slow, but there are still ideas there.

It's not harming anyone here or holding anyone back. It's not like all Jimmy is bringing Paleo to low carb more than he's just trying to cling to low carb and it's single input theory. A lot of his readers/listeners are still those low carbers that still think dieting means finding low carb bake mixare going . Don't expect too much. His business is trying to be Paleo if Jimmy disappeared or something!help people like that.
