Tea Eggs

I have been making these for years – I don’t know why I haven’t posted this one yet. When my family and I go to the beach, we always make these because they are so portable. They beat regular hard-boiled eggs because they need no extra flavoring – the flavoring is already in them. Here’s [...]

Insulin Resistance

“You know you’re going to become a diabetic, don’t you?” Said my doctor as we went over my blood work. I suppose I know this – I just thought that I could keep it at bay a bit longer. I just had my blood work done, and although my numbers are pretty good, my glucose [...]

Hypertension: Low Carb and High Blood Pressure

Twenty years ago, when I was first diagnosed with hypertension as a twenty-something fatso, the numbers were 190/110. It runs in the family – my Dad has it, so it wasn’t all that much of a shock that I would get it, too. I went to my Dad’s cardiologist at the time and he put [...]

Chocolate Bark with Coconut Oil

Chocolate is supposed to be good for you – if you can avoid the high sugar found in most chocolate. For years, I’ve gnoshed on the Lindt 85% dark chocolate, and though I never was a big dark chocolate fan, this is really good dark chocolate and I always buy it. If you just can’t [...]

‘The Steak At The Top Has Got To Go’: The Survey Results

A while ago I posted a survey – a little about you. The results of this survey are interesting, but you need to be careful not to come to conclusions from these results. People who participated are self-selected – what would the people who don’t fill in surveys say? We’ll never know. Someone once said [...]

Kitchen Experiment #18 – Demented Mock Potato Salad

The conscripted members of the Low Carb Confidential Taste Panel (my wife and two daughters) cast a wary eye at some of the things I prepare. Long experience has told them that to accept my innocent-sounding invitation to ‘take a taste’ puts them in a bind, as what was offered might indeed be yummy – [...]

The Low Carb Confidential Library

I am absolutely beside myself sometimes because I will find somewhere in the vast sea of endless dreck and clutter that is the internet, a gem of an article – and then I lose it – and I can’t find it ever again. I recently stumbled upon a site set up by a low carber [...]

Help Test a New Online Low Carb Program

I was thinking about low carb substitutions – when you are jonesin’ for a bagel – what do you replace it with? I have my own list, but I know you folks out there could certainly come up with a bunch as well – my list would be no better than anyone else who’s been [...]
