I Suck at Low Carb Dieting – Week 6

Posted on April 1, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

NOTE: This is a continuation of a 12-week experiment of sorts to break a stall and lose 20-pounds. It hasn’t been working. This week I learned something interesting about calories, however – for me, they don’t appear to matter that much. You can find the previous week’s posts here, if you’re interested. Sunday, March 25, 2012 [...]

I Suck At Low Carb Dieting – Week 5

Posted on March 25, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

NOTE: For those of you who haven’t been following along, a brief introduction. After flailing pointlessly at a stubborn stall, I decided to try a period of really low carb dieting to break the stall – only I had forgotten how to do it. Concluding that I suck at low carb dieting, I decided to set forth [...]

I Suck At Low Carb Dieting – Week 4 – Alien Hand Syndrome

Posted on March 18, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

Reflecting back at the previous week, I made some decent progress. I shed 8 lbs., which isn’t shabby, though I’m not too impressed as most of the weight was most likely water retention from a blowout the prior week. A major event was getting my ass to the gym every day last week and the [...]

I Suck At Low Carb Dieting – Week 3

Posted on March 11, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

I have been having a bit of a problem with, ahem, compliance – the ongoing process of actually keeping the promises I’ve made myself as to this 12-week experiment in full-bore low carb, ketogenics, exercise, and calorie-monitoring. I can’t test a set of variables if I don’t stick to them, so at the start of [...]

I Suck At Low Carb Dieting – Week 2

Posted on March 4, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

Part 2 of a 12-part saga where our hapless low carb blogger tries to get past a stubborn stall, redeem himself, and finally be able to get clothes that more or less fit him. Sun, Feb 26, 2012 – 208.4 The Atkins shake in the AM does have amazing powers of appetite suppression. I lasted [...]

I Suck At Low Carb Dieting: Week 1 – February 26, 2012

Posted on February 26, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

I must admit, honestly and frankly: I suck at low carb dieting. This might sound odd coming from a guy who has been more or less following a low carb lifestyle since September of 2003 and lost 80 pound doing it, but I can tell you – after all these years, it still ain’t easy [...]

Frustrations and Celebrations

Posted on February 12, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

Inspired by the flood of people who came to the site in January ready to start a new year on Atkins, I decided to try to follow along – I would give up my controlled carbing that I had been following and go into hard-core, ketogenic, Atkins induction. So far, it’s been rough going. Frankly, [...]

Low Carb Crock Pot Brisket (With Pictures)

Posted on February 7, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

The kid and I had planned to cook a recipe for brisket from one of the cookbooks put out by America’s Test Kitchen, a concern that does what I do, but only on a large-scale – buys lots of food and ruins a lot of it – in order to come up with the perfect [...]

Kitchen Experiment: Making My Own Sauerkraut (With Step-by-Step Pictures!)

Posted on February 6, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

I have been enjoying real, fermented sauerkraut this past week. There are apparently a number of reasons why eating real fermented vegetables might be real good for you – probiotics, bio-availability of nutrients, yada, yada, yada. Check out this link from Mark’s Daily Apple if you want a good overview of the health benefits. I was just [...]

Low Carb Kale and Beef with Mexican-Style Seasoning

Posted on February 4, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

I get up early, and have ample time before work to putz around. Not having anything good to eat for my lunch, I thought I’d cook something up with the ground beef I defrosted in the fridge. The stuff is expensive, so I tend to want to use it in a dish that uses it [...]
