Oops. Maybe it wasn’t all those ice cream sundaes that gave you diabetes, but rather the dish it was served in. And that plastic water bottle gave you cardiovascular disease. We live in surreal times, so I’m not particularly surprised to find that BPA, a chemical that is used in the production of plastic, and [...]

UPDATE: Here is my last post on Irvingia from 12/30/11 – 3+ years after the experiment. I found a study on irvingia - The effect of Irvingia gabonensis seeds on body weight and blood lipids of obese subjects in Cameroon - published in 2005. You can read it yourself here.

UPDATE: Here is my last post on Irvingia from 12/30/11 – 3+ years after the experiment. The short answer to this questions is: I dunno, but I’m thinking about finding out on myself.

11-21-08 The morning did not start with an Atkins bar – in fact, none were had this day. It was a crazy day of meetings and much mental work, which left me drained. In between meetings I ate my lunch – the chicken bacon with Brussels sprouts, and stayed an hour late to finish up [...]

I’m drawing a blank right now. Our Thanksgiving will no doubt have the obligatory turkey – and for the carbers there will probably be mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, bread and gravy. But what can I make for lil’ ol me? Right now I got one: the tarragon mashed cauliflower one poster inspired me to [...]

Today’s eats were an Atkins bar around 10am – of course I had my coffee with cream at 5am, however – does that count as breakfast? Lunch was the last of the frozen london broil with Brussels sprouts. It was just OK – maybe I’ve had enough of this for a while. Prefect timing – [...]

11-18-08 Had my Atkins bar at about 11 am. Had chicken, bacon, and cauliflower mashers at about 1pm. Had brazil nuts about 3pm. Came home and had some wine and grazed on bean dip, stir-fried pork, and pork rinds. Also had a little of the Lindt chocolate. No cheats. The morning weigh-in was 205.8 – [...]

I always have an eye out for new diets, not that I’m shopping around for something new – I’m just interested in what’s out there. It’s become apparent that most follow a formula that’s pretty simple: Decide whether the diet prohibits certain foods or not. Prohibiting certain foods usually means that portion control is more [...]
