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.

I am absolutely beside myself sometimes because I will find somewhere in the vast sea of endless dreck and clutter that is the internet, a gem of an article - and then I lose it - and I can’t find it ever again.
I recently stumbled upon a site set up by a low carber that [...]

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 [...]

Do you think of yourself as a crackpot, dear reader?
The survey that I put up 2 weeks ago shows that a lot of you have been on low carb for a while - and you’ve lost weight doing it. And part of the reason you visit the site is to hang out with other folks [...]

I had this thought yesterday as I was sitting in a department meeting watching the secretary chew her gum like a cow strung out on crystal meth.
We’ve been rolling this concept around in the blog that it isn’t just food that stimulates weight gain from the secretion of insulin as a result of sugar in the [...]

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 don’t know what to make of this article from Great Britain titled ‘Obesity Needs to be Tackled in the Same Way as Climate Change’. It bothers me on so many levels.

I was searching Google this morning for “danger of staying in ketosis.” Here’s the fourth result on page one, a fascinating article by a doctor of medicine, Michael Eades, the author of “Protein Power”:http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/uncategorized/ketosis-cleans-our-cells/
