I’ve been way busy with work – and my commitment to losing weight has suffered for it.
I have long work-days filled with an extraordinary amount of details to remember – and often need to improv on what I know as meetings are called on a whim and I have to go in cold without prep [...]

I love when I find articles that confirm my personal biases. No deep thinking or cognitive dissonance required, no need to try and refute the conclusions. Life is good.
Anyway, a pair of articles came to my attention this week. The first, from Science News Daily, cites research on worms that concludes that excess sugar can [...]

“Junior, drink your bisphenol A – it’s good for you.”
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 [...]

NOTE: WordPress has a new feature that allows you to add copyright-cleared images to your blog. The problem with this is choosing the right one. For instance, I searched on ‘doctor’ for this post and came back with 3800 pictures. Who has time for this?!? So I’ve decided to pick pictures that have only the [...]

Yep. This was kind of expected. I wrote previously on calorie restriction having a beneficial effect on health and longevity. Unlike a lot of research that asks complicated questions that are hard to answer (does dietary cholesterol cause high cholesterol levels in blood, for example), this question is pretty simple: if I take an animal [...]

A long while back, I got tired of posting my lack of success in losing weight and stated that I wasn’t going to post my personal journal until I got under 210.
Since then, the overall quality of content of the Internet rose considerably, but now I’m back to bring the average down.
This morning I’m 208.0.
It [...]

Introduction
Here’s an interesting tidbit on the placebo effect from New Scientist – a great website full of info of great nerditude:
Several times a day, for several days, you induce pain in someone. You control the pain with morphine until the final day of the experiment, when you replace the morphine with saline solution. Guess what? [...]

I thought this an interesting post from Jonny Bowden:

Especially because memory can be an issue for me. Also, since I’ve been buckling down on the low carbing, by appetite has gone through the floor – to the point where I find myself making myself eat.
What if there was an added benefit to a reduction in [...]

While there have been a number of reasons I haven’t been writing as of late, one in particular is the kicker: not only have I NOT been maintaining my weight, but I’ve actually gained weight.
And that magic trick I once used to be able to pull off – go on low carb hard and lose [...]
