Does Reading Low Carb Blogs Help You Lose Weight?

A while back I posted a survey. I want to do a post on all the interesting info it provided, but I want to give a quick preview of one tidbit.
First off, a survey like this is unscientific. It points to interesting insights that would require more rigorous investigation to come to any firm conclusions [...]

The Blog Has a Birthday

A year ago, I had a half-baked idea to post my low carb recipes online so that I could retrieve them at work. I thought that this would be a good way to come up with menu ideas for the evening meal and allow me to stop for a particular ingredient on the way home.

Atkins Gone Bad

I’m gonna take that inner child and kick his little ass
- Don Henley, ‘Get Over It’

I’m big on personal responsibility, and I have to admit that I am the weight I am now simply because a part of me doesn’t want to weigh less.

How Big Is Your Carbin’ Footprint?

OK, this time I think I did it.  I Googled it, and NOBODY has used “Carbin’ Footprint” as far as I can tell.  I’m copyrighting it here and now, so if you want to use the term legally, send me an email and we’ll talk.

We live in a time where [...]

Postus Nonwriticus (aka Cranius Constipatus)

If you’ve ever heard the expression, “The muse has left me,” you probably heard a writer saying it.  That’s the way I’ve felt the last week or so, and is a crutch of an excuse for neglecting to post anything for many days.  Maybe I needed a break, a vacation of sorts, like LCC’s mental [...]

Kitchen Experiment #17 - Spicy Dry-Rubbed Ribs

All the members of the Low Carb Confidental Taste Panel love PF Changs Northern Style Ribs. These are a dry rubbed ribs - no gooey BBQ sauce here. We wanted to try and create this at home, but I couldn’t find a recipe that even claimed to be close to their recipe.
I decided to make [...]
