Fat Head The Movie - My new favorite DVD!

(Photo from www.fathead-movie.com)

Comedian/filmaker Tom Naughton serves up super size facts and fun in his documentary titled Fat Head. This hilarious rebuttal to Morgan Spurlocks film Super Size Me is now available on DVD and includes interviews with doctors, nutritionists and political scientists - including some of our favorite people, such as Drs. Mike and Mary Dan Eades, Dr. Al Sears, and Sally Fallon Morell, president of the Weston A. Price foundation.

Regardless of your opinion of Spurlock's film, Fat Head is a must-see. Naughton shares facts about junk science while proving nearly everything we've been told about health and nutrition is wrong.

This film is all about misleading science, educating us about the truth, and personal accountability. With it's monty-python-like cartoons and Tom's great sense of humor, it's so much fun to watch that even my kids enjoyed it. They were learning and didn't even realize it. Just ask my 12 and 10 year old what sugar does to your body and how you store fat. They will give you details! Do they still like fast food? Yes. Will they think about how their food choices effect their health from now on? Yes. I dare say, after watching Fat Head, you will too. And unlike Spurlock, Tom will share his food diary.

This is now my new favorite movie. (Sorry Wall-E, you just got bumped.) I've watched it twice and just loaned it to a friend.

Want a sneak peak? Enjoy.

Discussion and Support Forums...

I thought I'd give you a heads up about two new low-carb forums.

The first one many of you probably know about. It's Jimmy Moore's Livin' La Vida Low Carb Discussion Forum. There seems to be a good number of people there already!

The other is a forum that I have been working for a couple weeks to put together. Here's what the header will look like when we are done:



I hired someone to help me with customizing (forums are a bit tougher to figure out than websites) and he's almost finished I think. So right now it looks pretty plain, but should match my blog and site very soon. It is usable now though, so if you'd like to join I'd love to have you! You can find it here:

www.healthylowcarbliving.com/forum

Since it's still in it's infancy stage, I'd love to hear what you'd like to see there. :0)

I'll be leaving for vacation on Wed. but will try to check in here and on the forums while I'm gone.

Have a great week!

Interesting New Blogs...

I just thought I'd list some new blogs I've recently come across. They may not all be new to you.. but they are to me. :0)

Diet King: Adam Wilk is a fellow-lowcarber and writer who's just trying to make sense of it all. He has a great sense of humor and tells it like he's sees it.

Diet Pulpit: I believe you'll find a little bit of everything here. Yeah... I think that sums it up.

The Low Carb Band-It: (I love this name!) This blogger suffers from PCOS and Fibromyalgia. In 2005 she had a lapband procedure and is now low-carbing for her health as well as weight loss.

Shrinking Away: Another blogger who is honest about life and weight loss.

One non-low-carb blog to mention:

Ms. Tina: She's an old friend of mine and has just started blogging. Her blog is about technology education, music, life, and futuristic ideas. She's a Technology Director and piano teacher (used to be mine when I lived near her) who lives in Oklahoma. If any of these topics interest you, please go check her out and say hello!
