Let’s (actually, let me) talk about food for a few minutes. What I’ll be saying is, of course, my own opinion, and not to be taken as a call for anybody to change what they’re doing or how they feel about it. It’s just something to think about.
I’ve read with interest many low carb recipes, [...]

Here are the basic details of my second week without drinking during this grand experiment in my 11th week of induction:
Monday, March 10, 2008
5:30am - no color on ketostick; 218.6 lbs (0.2 lb loss), 34.5%BF (body fat), 47.0%BW (body water)
Very odd; second day in a row with no color on the stick. Had less than 13 net grams of carbs yesterday, so [...]

I got this question from a reader and thought it so important that I’m posting the response here rather than bury it in an old post.
Your question:
what concerns me is so many people write in saying they’re doing induction again (and again and again) because even though they love low carb and lost weight, they [...]

Suddenly, it seemed like the universe was conspiring to keep me from losing weight on low carb (or any diet).
I just finished the last chapter of Gary Taubes’ Good Calories, Bad Calories, and I can only hope there’s a silver lining in the Epilogue, because this chapter on Hunger and Satiety plunked down a couple new possible [...]

Here are the basic details of my first week without drinking during this grand experiment in my 10th week of induction:
Monday, March 3, 2008
5:30am - moderate ketostick; 223.0 lbs, 31.0%BF (body fat), 48.5%BW (body water)
So! Something happened during or after the party on Saturday to make me lose, and, as expected, it didn’t last. I regained 2.4 of the [...]

An experiment in keeping the djinn (I mean, gin) in the bottle. For a while, anyway.
I wouldn’t have even been able to make that bon mot above if I didn’t play so much Scrabble on my PDA.
Now, about this alcohol business: If you’ve been hanging around the Low Carb Confidential blog and have been reading any of [...]

Well, it happened yet again: yesterday we forgot to take something out of the freezer to thaw for dinner before we left for work.
Good thing I remembered saying we should make pizzas this week, and I’ve learned the hard way to keep our cupboards stocked with staples for quick meals like this one.
If you can [...]

As you might have noticed, most of my so-called ‘recipes’ are very simple. While I don’t mind cooking, it is a means to an end, and I usually don’t want to while away the hours cooking - I want to eat. Whenever I see a recipe, I try to remove steps - do I really [...]

Whenever alcohol is mentioned a certain moralistic mindset kicks in . I’d like to avoid that debate because I’m not your parent, spouse, priest, or confessor. If you drink alcohol and would like to lose weight, you don’t need moralizers telling you that you have to stop eating and drinking at the same time. What [...]
