About this episode
Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. By the time Scott hit his late 40s/early 50s he weighed over 550 pounds thanks to his adherence to the standard American dietary/exercise advice. It was not until Scott began walking, fasting, and reading the work of Jason Fung and others that he was able to start dropping weight and getting healthy. Similarly, Scott's wife, Camille has been able to radically improve her personal health following the same dietary principles that her husband discovered. Together they run the website Improvisational Keto Kitchen —a site which provides a number of dietary tools, hacks, techniques, and recipes that Scott and Camille have adapted or developed to make the very low carbohydrate lifestyle not only sustainable, but enjoyable. In this episode, Tro, Brian, Scott, and Camille talk about the power of fasting, the work of Vinnie Tortorich and Jason Fung, the spiritual impetus for the beginning of Scott's weight loss journey, why abstinence is often better than moderation for those struggling to lose weight and/or stick with their diet, how Camille's arthritis, anxiety, asthma, fibromyalgia, and allergies have improved, how Scott and Camille support and help each other to continue down the path of health, the importance of having a 'why' motivating your health journey, avoiding the 'reformed smoker's mentality' after you discover a health lifestyle that works for you, and the power of consistent effort.
