My Last Post on Nicotine Lozenges as a Weight Loss Device

Posted on January 25, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

On Christmas Day, 2011, I ran out of nicotine lozenges. That was it. It’s over. A very expensive and annoying addiction to nicotine lozenges, started nearly 3 years ago when I got this hare-brained idea that: if people who stop smoking gain weight because they don’t have nicotine, can people lose weight if they take [...]

Kitchen Experiment: Low Carb Coconunt Pumpkin Muffins with Stevia

Posted on January 14, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

This is one of my go-to recipes since conjuring it up in October, 2011. I’ve made it no less than a half-dozen times. Now, however, I have made a resolution for the year to ditch artificial sweeteners, and have done well – but this recipe, I think, does need some sweet. A reader recommended stevia, [...]

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 [...]

Fatty Foods Addictive as Cocaine in Growing Body of Science

Posted on November 7, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

Is the mainstream media starting to take notice? This article from Bloomberg is a must-read, I assure you. It discusses research that shows the addictive properties – real, serious, addictive responses to junk food as serious as the chemical dependency of drugs – occur. I think that while the entire article is worthy of 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 [...]

The Feeder and the Fed: Losing Weight and Cheating Without Cheating

Posted on September 18, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

I have been losing weight as of late – and am wondering why. In particular, I’m wondering this because of my thinking about writing a book on the topic of weight loss. One thing I’d like to avoid is creating another me-too book that is more of the same. Diet books have been done to [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]
