MiO Drink Mix (sorry -’Water Enhancer’) – A Replacement for the Sodastream Soda Mixes?

  I have already stated – somewhere – that as part of my 2012 resolutions I was going to try to ditch the drink mixes. the reason I’m writing about MiO, however, is because my resolutions are not necessarily your resolutions, and I thought you’d appreciate an honest review. Prior to going on vacation, I [...]

A Year of Losing Weight – or Maybe Eight Years

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 [...]

Book Review: Unwasted by Sacha Scoblic

Note: I tend not to do book reviews because I feel I’m awful at them – and I’d only bother to do a review of a book that I enjoyed and found to be of value. If you agree that this attempt is a hatchet job like I do, I ask you to check out [...]

How I lost 10 Lbs.: Jan 2, 2011 to Feb 5, 2011

On Jan 3, I wrote this post, starting a new stab at peeling off the pounds. To spare the internet more pointless blogging, I stated that I’d write about it again only when I lost 10 lbs. It’s really only interesting then – most of us play around is a 5-pound range and it’s water [...]

THIS Time For Real – Bwhahahahahahahah!

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 [...]

An Experiment in Making My Own Yogurt

It started when I tried to do what, on the surface, should be a simple thing. Buy yogurt. Call me fussy, but I didn’t want low-fat milk, sprinkles, sparkles, fruit on the bottom, chocolate-chip laden yogurt: I just wanted yogurt. I went to what I thought would be my best source: the price-gouging faux ‘good-food’ [...]

A List of Low Carb Recipe Sites

“If I go on low carb, what the heck am I going to eat?” It seem I hear that a lot – most people think it’s bacon, eggs, butter and steak. The problem is that most people go on a low carb diet before they read up on it. They usually end up eating eggs [...]

Top 10 Posts of 2009

Looking back can be interesting, if kept to a minimum, so I thought it might be interesting to see what were the most popular posts of 2009. Here goes.

A New Start for 2010 and Taking a Long View

I bet a lot of you are in the same position: 2009 just didn’t go as planned. As mentioned previously, I am pretty much in the same place I was last year, despite all of my efforts. I can’t live the year in some parallel version where I didn’t expend the effort – I might [...]

Sodastream Seltzer Maker – 6 Month Review

In July, I wrote about the SodaStream seltzer maker and my first impressions on it. I liked it then, but many things we have tend to become ‘just another thing’ over time and you sort of feel cheated because it’s not what you thought it would be like. (Ladies, many of you might feel this [...]
