If you have the misfortune of reading this blog with any regularity, you will have noticed that I am a somewhat ‘restless’ individual, and try numerous self-experiments surrounding nutrition, health, and weight loss. Quite possibly, one of the most pointless experiments I chronicled on this site brings me a good portion of my traffic: Irvingia. [...]

Looking back can be interesting, if kept to a minimum, so I thought it might be interesting to see what were the most popular posts of 2009. Here goes.

A long while back, I got tired of posting my lack of success in losing weight and stated that I wasn’t going to post my personal journal until I got under 210. Since then, the overall quality of content of the Internet rose considerably, but now I’m back to bring the average down. This morning [...]

A few months back I posted 2 surveys on the Irvingia Field Reports page for anyone so inclined to fill out their expriences with Irvingia. There’s over 500 postings describing reader’s experiences – worthwhile reading, though it does meander a bit – certainly excusable given the medium and the complexity of weight loss. I also [...]

I was asked this by Dr Dan over at Darwin’s Table as a comment on one of my posts – here’s my response. I think that low carb effectiveness will decrease over time because the body builds a tolerance to the approach. Heck, if you’ve been doing low carb for five years then try to [...]

If you’re one of the folks that has been hanging out on this site because you’ve been taking Irvingia, I’ve set up a survey – two, actually – one for guys and one for gals. If you’ve taken Irvingia for at least 8 weeks, I invite you to take the survey. Check out the links [...]

Another Another Start Yep…here we are again. Back from a great vacation that, unfortunately included a lot of good, carb-laden food. French cuisine cannot be surpassed in it’s ability to turn out a heavenly croissant, a lobster bisque with a hint of tarragon, topped with baked filo dough, or a simple baguette that convinces me [...]

Vacation I arrived home from my vacation around 9pm last night, and am still unpacking – physically and mentally. I’ve recently been wondering if we sometimes disappear into our habits. In other words: if we were to change our habits completely, would many of us just disappear? Are we just the sum of out habits? [...]

UPDATE: Here is my last post on Irvingia from 12/30/11 – 3+ years after the experiment. Here is the letter sent by the Life Extension Foundation to people who purchased their Irvingia, known as Integra-Lean: Integra-Lean Letter from LEF.pdf I do recommend that if you didn’t get the letter that you read the entire thing, but here’s [...]

The following is an email from David Benic of Dr Vitamin Solutions, an online seller of LEF products. He wrote me a while back that he was taking the product himself, and I checked in with him the other day as to how it was going. Here’s his response, as well as an email response [...]
