Fat is Not the Enemy, Nutritionist Insists

This morning, I’d like to single out one of my favorite nutritionists, Jonny Bowden, M.A., C.N., C.N.S. You see, I’m quite grateful to Jonny, because for at least a couple of years now, he has consistently provided me with a wonderful wealth of information, especially when I was writing SUGAR SHOCK!

Look, given that I’m a give-me-all-the-facts journalist, I suspect that if I’m interviewing you, well, you may find it somewhat overwhelming to answer my many questions. If you’ve proved yourself as a reliable source — as Jonny did for me — well, I do tend to come back again and again with more questions so I can make sure my information is acccurate, etc.

I’m tempted to say that I feel sorry for my interviewees, but that’s not really so, because you, my public and followers, want the truth, right? Well, it’s my duty to give it to you. Having said that, yeah, at times, I called Jonny probably more than he would have liked to get clarification or further information. And darn if he wasn’t always gracious every time I called.

Suffice it to say that if you want to know more about weight loss, nutrition or health, you’ve probably read something of Jonny’s. He’s written columns for Muscle and Fitness magazine. He’s dispensed advice on iVillage.com and eDiets.com. He’s written books such as the best-selling Living The Low Carb Life: Choosing the diet that’s right for you from Atkins to Zone. He also penned Jonny Bowden’s Shape Up! The Eight Week Plan to Transform your Body your Health and your Life (Perseus, 2001).

Anyhow, this morning I was visiting Jonny’s website to look at something he told me about when this fascinating article of his, "Fat is Not the Enemy," grabbed my attention. I invite you to check it out.

While you’re visiting Jonny’s Internet home, check out his new audio collection, too. He offers three exciting CD sets, what I believe — knowing Jonny and his engaging, informative style — will educate, inspire and motivate you. The audio sets include:

  • "Change Your Body, Change Your Life"
  • "23 Ways to Improve Your Life," and
  • "9 Essential Steps to Weight Loss"

I’m so impressed by Jonny that a few months back, I attended his weight loss class for coaches so that we could help our clients. It was a wonderful program that I highly recommend. Not only is he dynamic, but Jonny really knows his stuff.

Anyhow, after you get Jonny’s CDs, let me know what you think.
