Please note that in my experience, alcohol can be consumed while on Atkins, but it will definitely slow, if not completely stall, your weight loss. Don’t try this on induction – it won’t work. Feel free to prove it to yourself if you like but don’t be suprised when ketosis stops dead. This recipe calls [...]

One of my big questions is: why did I lose the weight on Atkins when so many others don’t? While I still am trying to find the answer to this, I thought I’d document some of the things that I do that most people probably don’t. Is it something about these things that helped me [...]

Adapted from a recipe on Atkins.com – their recipe is great if you have the time. I don’t, so I came up with this quickie variation which I think is almost as good. My wife liked this one as well. She’s even asked me to make it. 3/4 cup No-carb Bake Mix teaspoon salt pepper [...]

Inside you body at this moment could be the beginnings of cancer. In a few days – or a few weeks, it will be gone. This could have happened to you many times. Cancer is not an abnormal abnormality – it happens all the time. In my opinion (worthless as it is) everyone reading this [...]
