I’ve been lax in journaling – I promised I would do so some time back. Apparently I lied. Anywho, I have been quite adherent to an Atkins induction-style diet, and have been in ketosis for about 8 days straight. When I started this, about 10 days ago, I had puffed up to 218.6 due to [...]

For those of us under 50 who need an excuse for being fat, here’s a good one: it’s not me, but the chemicals that I was exposed to before birth that made me fat. I’ll let you read the Newsweek article yourself – I don’t feel inclined to do a book report at present, but [...]

Here’s a redacted and bolded version – see the full article for all the detail and the lack of selective emphasis reflecting my personal confirmation bias.

A few events of note passed without notice – I thought I’d mention them: 6-Years On Low Carb 6 years ago this past September, I sat down one Saturday and read the Atkins Diet book. I tried it for 2 weeks, lost 20-lbs., then decided that low carb was not for me – and went [...]
