Thank You, Anthony Bourdain: It’s About the Food

Posted on January 7, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

I am an idiot. I only have a slight edge over some other idiots in that I am open to discovering that I am an idiot, so that I might actually learn something new, or discover, sometimes to my horror, how something I thought I knew was so blindingly wrong. For the past month, I [...]

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 [...]

My Core Foods

Posted on November 6, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

I have a habit of noodling through an idea, then failing to follow through on it. Luckily, this blog helps me record these ideas when I come to revisit them from another angle. One of these ideas is the notion of food monotony I wrote about in January of 2010. I’ve come to disagree with [...]

Food Paranoia

Posted on July 17, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

You know how you sometimes know things but really don’t know them? I had come across this article in the New York Daily News about veggie burgers. Veggie burgers are looked upon by many as superior replacement for the much-maligned hamburger made from ground up cows. Leaving out the fact that cows are considered a [...]

Losing Weight Without Self-Hatred

Posted on October 8, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

About 9 weeks ago, I consciously decided to ‘make peace with myself’ as my wife calls it. I ate what I wanted – including candy and whatnot. Nothing odd here – it’s just that I didn’t beat myself up over it. I bought some new clothes that actually fit me and took the stand that [...]

I’d Go for the Cake

Posted on January 31, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

I’ve been way busy with work – and my commitment to losing weight has suffered for it. I have long work-days filled with an extraordinary amount of details to remember – and often need to improv on what I know as meetings are called on a whim and I have to go in cold without [...]

The Incredible Roasted Kale Recipe

Posted on January 27, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

Kale?!? This green, leafy vegetable appears at the top of the list for nutrient density – calorie for calorie, it packs the more nutrients than nearly any other food you can buy. As part of my project to eat less of better foods, I decided to try it – but I don’t know how to [...]

The Food Monotony Project – Day 6 Update

Posted on January 24, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

A screenshot from the iPhone app ‘Lose It’ I started what I’m calling the Food Monotony Project on Tuesday, Jan 19, and since that day I’ve eaten mostly to plan. The thinking behind this goes back to a blog post I wrote in July of 2008. I forget a lot of my posts, but the [...]
