The Livin Low Carb Show, Jimmy Moore Interview with Mat Lalonde PhD.

I’m a big fan of Mat Lalonde, whom I consider an exceptional scientist. He has an extremely good seminar series on the science behind Paleolithic eating. He critically evaluates nutrition science studies to come to his own conclusions with respect to Paleo eating, saturated fat and fruit, nuts and seeds. Here he talks to Jimmy Moore.

Access to the seminar series is here, excellent science for a small cost. Here is a 5 minute excerpt from the seminar:

October 8th, 2009: From RobbWolf.com Mat Lalonde’s low carb and CrossFit experiment”  CrossFit On a Low Carb Paleo Diet: Mat Lalonde Reporting

Note: Mat no longer follows a low carb diet, he mentions in one of his talks that after a few weeks on a low carb diet he went into an icecream parlour and devoured a litre of icecream. From his latest interview with Able James he states: “50% of my calories come from carbohydrates.” “Dairy is okay if you tolerate it” “I eat all my food cooked as it increases nutrient absorption” “I’ve seen low carb diets ruin people….There is some very good research out there that shows if you try to do very glycogen demanding sports on a low carbohydrate diet, your cortisol levels are going to keep increasing and your free testosterone levels are going to plumet, the free testosterone level to cortisone is used a measure for overtraining..there have been who have come to us who engage in high intensity sport who have testosterone levels of pre-pubescent girls; that’s MEN” “You should eat what you tolerate, what makes you feel good, look good naked…”

Nutrient Density: Sticking to the Essentials

A proposed model of nutrient density that eliminates established biases is employed to compare the nutrient density of meat, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds to that of grains and legumes.

  1. Thanks for continuously updating this page. I check it regularly for anything new that Mat Lalonde has put out there. He is so well researched and informative. You are doing a great service by compiling all this!

  2. Thank you so much for all of these links in one place. I am a huge Mat Lalonde fan (sexy and smart, who could resist him?). I’m always on the lookout for anything he does and now I know I can just check here!

  3. Mat Lalonde is probably my favorite voice in the Paleo community and for a guy who has no website/blog of his own, you sure are doing a great job and keeping up with his current activities! Excellent job with this page, makes a great resource.

    • He has a doctorate in organic chemistry – if you understand chemistry and all the enzymatic processes in the body as he does – you understand completely how nutrition affects your body. I have post grad nutrition papers – and I cant find fault with what Mat says – so if you have any particular criticisms – feel free to write and back them up with clinical research. I suspect you may not be able to do that though judging by your false name and email address, and you appear to be on a library computer in Australia.
