I am sure that most of you have eaten London broil, so this ‘experiment’ is most likely a big ‘duh!’ for most of you, but for me, London broil was a ‘once-in-a-blue-moon’ meal as a kid - and pretty much I haven’t eaten it since.
Over the weekend, I stopped on the way home from work [...]

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 the [...]

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 me [...]

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 stand [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m gonna take that inner child and kick his little ass

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.
At the beginning of the year I had managed to put on [...]

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.

Last night as I was going through the grocery store sale papers in preparation for this week’s shopping trip, it struck me just how simplified my life has become since going low carb.
One of my favorite things to do is shop. Whether for food, or electronic gear, or something someone asked me to find a [...]
