“You know you’re going to become a diabetic, don’t you?” Said my doctor as we went over my blood work.
I suppose I know this - I just thought that I could keep it at bay a bit longer.
I just had my blood work done, and although my numbers are pretty good, my glucose was 106 [...]

Twenty years ago, when I was first diagnosed with hypertension as a twenty-something fatso, the numbers were 190/110. It runs in the family - my Dad has it, so it wasn’t all that much of a shock that I would get it, too.
I went to my Dad’s cardiologist at the time and he put me [...]

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.
If you just can’t stand [...]

I’m gonna take that inner child and kick his little ass
- Don Henley, ‘Get Over It’
I’m big on personal responsibility, and I have to admit that I am the weight I am now simply because a part of me doesn’t want to weigh less.
At the beginning of the year I had managed to put on [...]

There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don’t know we don’t know.” - Donald Rumsfeld
We live in a time where [...]

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’ve come to recognize the sad simple fact that I will never in my life have an original thought. I thought “Graze Anatomy” was pretty clever; apparently, so have a lot of other people (Google it and see). Oh well, on with the post…

The following doesn’t have a whole lot to do with low carb per se, but it does regard some things I’ve been posting about recently, so there’s some relevance if you’ve been hanging around the blog lately.

I’m always amazed and impressed at the number of people out there in cyberspace whose search engine queries are about what one experiences when starting Atkins or some other carbohydrate-restrictive diet.
