Low Carb Kale and Beef with Mexican-Style Seasoning

Posted on February 4, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

I get up early, and have ample time before work to putz around. Not having anything good to eat for my lunch, I thought I’d cook something up with the ground beef I defrosted in the fridge. The stuff is expensive, so I tend to want to use it in a dish that uses it [...]

Kitchen Experiment – Low Carb Kale and Bacon Crustless Quiche

Posted on January 26, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

Inspired by a Quiche that Lee Kirsten posted on her blog, I decided to make one, so I riffed off her recipe a bit, using what I had at hand: 5 oz. package of baby kale the wife bought on sale and I could imagine no one eating 5 strips of bacon leftover from some [...]

Do Low Carb Diets Fail Partly Because of Social Pressure?

Posted on January 23, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

The other day, before the start of yet another meeting at work, someone brought up Dr. Oz. One person said: “I always used to think that drinking skim milk was good for you, but Dr. Oz said you should drink 2%.” It was said as a revelation, a shock. I couldn’t help myself: “You know, [...]

Italian Chili – My Recipe for Beating the Cravings of Pasta and Pizza

Posted on January 22, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

Last night I made this, it came out quite good, and I thought I would share. This is yet another variation on what I’ve done before. It provides a meat and vegetable-filled dish similar to a chili or stew in consistency, and, covered in grated parmesan cheese, it not only awesome, but fills that hole [...]

A Year of Losing Weight – or Maybe Eight Years

Posted on December 3, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

Last Thanksgiving, after a year where I had ballooned up to about 238 pounds rather quickly, I recommitted to low carb yet again. Today, one year later, I am down to 205. That works out to 33 pounds in 1 year, or 0.63 pounds a week, an absolutely horrible number – if you’re in a [...]

Fake Fat Makes You Fat – Stuns Researchers – Low Carbers Say ‘Meh’

Posted on June 23, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

The gist of this story about Olsetra, the fake fat that they sometime use in chips to lower the calorie count, shows that rats that eat the stuff not only eat more calories, but eat more calories even after they stop eating it. The writer of the story appears to be stunned, and writes the [...]

Like Your Meat-Glued Steak Rare? Not So Fast…

Posted on May 11, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

(A quick update for anyone who follows my personal weight loss story – I’m maintaining my weight loss at about 220 from my high of 237 from the fall of last year. There. Now you know.) You learn something new every day. These days, however, it seems what you learn is a bummer. Next up [...]

Low Carb Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore Recipe

Posted on April 20, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

I do this all the time. I come up with some concoction off-the cuff and riff on it, trying to make it simpler, and either make a dish so inedible that I never want to try it again or end up eating it for so long that the monotony kills my interest in it and [...]

10 Pounds Lost: An Introduction

Posted on January 3, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

I have chronicled my efforts at weight loss before. I don’t like the word ‘journey’ – it sounds so romantic: I imagine swelling movie music, perhaps standing nobly, chin up, on the deck of some beautiful ship, below a brilliant blue sky, sailing to some magical place, perhaps with a woman (in my case my wife, of [...]

THIS Time For Real – Bwhahahahahahahah!

Posted on January 2, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

Ya gotta love this blog if you enjoy watching the best of intentions crumble in the face of a box of cookies. Well, here we are – another year – 2011. 2010 was my worst year in all my seven years following a low carb lifestyle. In the past year, I gained 20 lbs. I [...]
