Nutritional Ketosis

Jimmy gave us a lot to think about in his last post, My 5 Low-Carb Mistakes And How Nutritional Ketosis Rescued Me From Them. Nutrition expert Valerie Berkowitz gives her perspective and her four most important lessons learned from Jimmy Moore.

"I had, in the past, tried the much-written-about HCG protocol. I had been willing to try it because it was clear that Dr. Simeons, who developed it, had a deep distrust of carbohydrates.
