ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Dr. Jason Fung graduated with a degree in medicine from the University of Toronto where he also concluded his residency in internal medicine. He transferred to UCLA for a fellowship in nephrology—the branch in medicine that involves the kidneys. As of today, he works in Toronto as a kidney specialist.
Thousands of patients have been under the care of Dr. Fung, and such exposure has revealed to him that the epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes was far from getting better. Today’s prevalent nutritional recommendations to lessen calorie and fat intake have proven unsuccessful. This is why Dr. Fung established the Intensive Dietary Management program (intensivedietarymanagement.com) which applies simple changes on the diet instead of encouraging the use of medications.
Jimmy Moore entered the medical scene after accomplishing a remarkable feat in 2004: shedding one hundred and eighty pounds. This ended his dependency on prescription drugs for his breathing issues, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. He is well-known for his enthusiasm which he shares in the famous blog called Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb (www.livinlavidalowcarb.com). Aside from iTunes’ longest-running and highest-ranking health podcast, The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show, Moore also hosts
