The truth about Jimmy Moore Paleo Low Carb-min

The Truth About Jimmy Moore

7 Comments

I’ve been listening to Jimmy Moore’s podcasts and reading his blog for a few years now. But I’d never met him. I’m always interested to meet people in real life, because often the “online persona” they’ve created is very different to the reality.

Jimmy Moore recently left Australia after his trip over for the Low Carb Down Under seminar series, and I met him in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

So, what is Jimmy Moore really like?

Does he really eat what he says he eat? Has he really lost a lot of weight?

Well, if you were hoping for some dirt, I’m afraid there is none!

Firstly, Jimmy has lost a lot of weight. He is far slimmer than his pre-Australia blog photos implied. A lot of people on the internet seem to criticise Jimmy, because he lost and then regained weight. But the thing is, Jimmy has always been honest about it. I have a lot of respect for someone who is able to put their hands up, say it isn’t working – and try a new approach.

Nutritional Ketosis

Jimmy’s new approach, Nutritional Ketosis is working. Really working.  He gave some very honest lectures, sharing exactly what he is doing, how it is working and how he feels. He even took his blood readings on stage.

I’ve also read a lot of speculation about what actually Jimmy eats. But after a few meals with Jimmy, there’s no “odd meals”, just normal, fairly Primal meals, that are a lot more bias towards the fat content than mine would be. A lot of the fat content comes from dairy, such as butter (he certainly gets through a lot of butter!), as well as foods like avocado.

Being in Nutritional Ketosis certainly seems to give Jimmy a lot of energy, particularly evident when we did the coastal walk from Bronte to Bondi beach!

With some weight still to lose myself, I’m very interested in Nutritional Ketosis. I’ve been making a conscious effort to eat more fat in the last few weeks, but perhaps it might be time to embark on a more scientific n=1 experiment of my own.

Jimmy is a really nice guy, who clearly cares a great deal about everyone who reaches out to him.  A lot of people in the Paleo/ low carb community have come from a fitness (I.e. crossfit) or a health angle – and whilst the nutrition may be similar, the journey isn’t.  I find it really refreshing and inspiring to hear an honest account of weight loss – what works and what doesn’t. A lot of Australians who attended the lectures have been very inspired by Jimmy’s story – and several people are doing their own Nutritional Ketosis experiments. I can't wait to start to hear the progress reports.

It was also an absolute pleasure to meet Christine, Jimmy’s wife, who is clearly extremely supportive of everything Jimmy does. If there is any dirt on Jimmy Moore, I’m sure Christine will be the one to dish it!

What Can We Learn from Nutritional Ketosis?

While approaches to health and weight loss are always evolving, Nutritional Ketosis remains a powerful tool in the low-carb and Paleo space. By prioritising healthy fats and keeping carbohydrates extremely low, this state encourages the body to use ketones for fuel — often resulting in increased mental clarity, steady energy, and better appetite control.

Many in the Paleo and low-carb communities have experimented with ketosis, especially those seeking better blood sugar regulation, weight loss, or simply more control over their diet. It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution, but for some, it’s been life-changing. The key is to experiment safely, track your results, and adapt as needed.

If you’ve been thinking about trying Nutritional Ketosis for yourself, it’s worth exploring. Just be sure to do your research, and speak with a health professional if you have any concerns. As with everything in the Paleo lifestyle, it's about finding what works best for you.

Have you experimented with ketosis? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments.

What to Expect at a Low Carb Down Under Seminar

If you’ve never been to a nutrition seminar before, Low Carb Down Under is an ideal introduction. These events are informative, inspiring, and packed with the latest research and real-life strategies for better health. Whether you're fully committed to a Paleo or low carb lifestyle or simply curious about reducing sugar and processed foods, the seminars provide a welcoming space to learn from experts and connect with like-minded people.

Expect to hear talks on a range of topics, from the science behind ketosis and insulin resistance to the mental health benefits of reducing carbohydrate intake. You’ll also hear personal stories from people who have successfully used a low carb or Paleo diet to reverse chronic health issues like type 2 diabetes, obesity, and inflammation-related illnesses. The mix of scientific content and practical application makes the sessions engaging, even if you’re not medically trained.

Why Events Like These Are So Important

In a world dominated by conflicting dietary advice, events like Low Carb Down Under cut through the noise. The seminar series offers evidence-based insights from doctors, nutritionists, researchers, and advocates who have dedicated their careers to improving health through ancestral nutrition. Instead of one-size-fits-all dietary advice, you’ll get targeted, practical information backed by clinical experience and scientific literature.

Many of the speakers are at the forefront of the low carb and Paleo movements in Australia and internationally. You’ll have the chance to hear directly from pioneers like Jimmy Moore, who has authored numerous books and hosts one of the world’s top low carb podcasts, and Christine Cronau, whose work in the space has helped thousands of Australians reclaim their health.

Networking and Community Support

One of the most underrated aspects of attending an in-person seminar is the opportunity to meet people who are on the same journey as you. Whether you're new to low carb or you've been following Paleo for years, connecting with others who share your values can be incredibly motivating. You might find a local support group, a new favourite food brand, or even just reassurance that you’re not alone in prioritising health in a very processed world.

For many attendees, the sense of community is just as valuable as the talks themselves. There's nothing quite like sitting in a room of people who understand why you skip the breadbasket and ask for extra avocado. These events often lead to long-term friendships, collaborations, and supportive networks — especially in cities where Paleo or low carb options are limited.

Great for Health Professionals Too

If you’re a nutritionist, GP, health coach, or allied health practitioner, attending Low Carb Down Under can also count towards your professional development. The seminar provides current, research-backed knowledge that you can pass on to clients or patients. Plus, it’s a great way to stay up to date with emerging science and hear firsthand how other professionals are applying low carb principles in clinical settings.

With an increasing number of patients asking about ketogenic diets, intermittent fasting, and insulin resistance, this seminar equips you with the tools and confidence to provide sound guidance — and perhaps even reconsider your own approach to nutrition and metabolic health.

Practical Takeaways You Can Implement Straight Away

The best part of Low Carb Down Under is how actionable it is. You won’t just walk away with academic theory — you’ll also get real-world tips, product recommendations, and cooking ideas. Many of the speakers share meal plans, shopping lists, and simple changes that can make a big difference to your energy, weight, and overall wellbeing.

You’ll also discover brands, products, and services that support your lifestyle. From bone broth to clean protein powders and sugar-free snacks, the event often features local vendors and companies that align with the low carb ethos. It’s a great way to discover alternatives you might not find in mainstream supermarkets.

Bringing Friends and Family

Do you have a friend or family member who’s always asking questions about your Paleo lifestyle? Bringing them to one of these seminars could be the eye-opener they need. Hearing from respected doctors and authors often makes a bigger impact than hearing the same message from someone close to them. It might just be the catalyst for someone you love to make lasting changes in their own health.

The presentations are delivered in a clear, accessible format, so even someone with no nutrition background will walk away feeling empowered and informed. This makes it a perfect event for sceptics or the simply curious — especially with speakers like David Gillespie and Sarah Wilson, who are both fantastic at breaking down complex topics into relatable insights.

How to Prepare for the Event

To get the most from the day, come prepared. Bring a notebook or device for taking notes, wear comfortable clothing, and bring a refillable water bottle. If the event includes vendor stalls or catering, make sure to check in advance whether food is included or if you’ll need to bring your own.

You may also want to jot down questions ahead of time. Most seminars include a Q&A session with the speakers, and it’s a great opportunity to get personalised advice or clarification on something you’ve been wondering about. Don’t be shy — the speakers are passionate about helping people improve their health and welcome thoughtful questions.

Final Word

Whether you’re looking to dive deeper into low carb science, connect with like-minded people, or simply stay motivated on your health journey, the Low Carb Down Under seminar series is a fantastic event. With so many experts in one place and a welcoming community atmosphere, you’ll walk away informed, inspired, and ready to take your health to the next level.

With events across Australia and tickets selling quickly, now is the time to secure your spot. This could be the turning point that renews your commitment to a healthier lifestyle — or introduces someone you care about to the benefits of living low carb. Don’t miss out!
