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 [...]

Getting Fat to Understand What It’s Like

Posted on October 25, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

Empathy for fat folks is in short supply – we’re all lazy and should just push ourselves away from the table and put down the friggin fork – right? Yeah – right. I wish it was that easy. It’s what a lot of fit folks think – because they never were fat. Well, here’s a [...]

Workout Videos Gone Horribly Wrong: Karatecise

Posted on September 3, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

Being a life-long dieter, I’ve researched – and possibly dabbled with – scores of diet and exercise programs. There’s some doozies out there. Imagine it’s the 80s.  You decide you’d like to exercise, and you think martial arts are cool. You think a video named ‘Karatecise Workout’ might be a perfect fit. Unless your idea [...]

Another 10 Lbs. Down: Should I Write an eBook?

Posted on August 19, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

On January 3 of this year, I decided to track my personal weight loss on this blog in 10 lb increments. In February I lost my first 10 and went from 232 to 222. It’s August and today I’m 210. Why so long for that 2nd 10 lbs.? Life can really do a job on [...]

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

Posted on February 5, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

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 [...]

Researcher: Losing Weight Doesn’t Improve Health Because People Can’t Lose Weight

Posted on January 30, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

Maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m the dope. I’m not a researcher, but I simply don’t know how to grasp the following report out of Australia: Losing weight is often touted as a way to improve health, but many weight-loss programs may not help stave off disease since people tend to gain the weight back, Australian [...]

Gary Taubes Finally Gets Around to Writing a Book on Low Carb that People Can Read – And It’s AWESOME!

Posted on January 10, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

This was the book that I knew was inside of ‘Good Calories, Bad Calories’. ‘Why We Get Fat And What To Do About It‘ was to the book to give to friends, doctors, congressmen, and anyone else who wants to understand the futility of our current nutritional advice. Short and to-the-point, written in accessible style, [...]

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 [...]

Research Gone Wild

Posted on June 17, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

More ‘Research Gone Wild’ – where wacky researchers who apparently never talk to one another come out with more pronouncements to bewilder the public. First: we’re exercising more, but fatter that ever. Huh? 34.7 percent claimed in 2009 they engage in regular leisure physical activity, up from 31.9 percent in 2008. The prevalence of obesity [...]
