I’m going to start this post discussing Sigmund Freud – but it’s not what you think – really. This post is not about psychology. Sigmund Freud was a cokehead in a time when it wasn’t a big deal. The notion of doing drugs at the time was not a counterculture phenomenon – it was something [...]

Note: This is week 9 of what was supposed to be a 12-week experiment in low carb dieting. It seems to be about everything but. The past chronicles are here, if this sort of stuff holds any interest for you. I’m starting my week where at a weight close to what I gravitate around: 206. I’d [...]

From the Palm Beach Daily News: Johns Hopkins researchers have made the proponents of the always controversial Atkins diet very happy. A recent study presented at the American Heart Association’s March meeting lauded low-carb diets such as Atkins for producing weight loss and belly fat loss — linked to heart disease — more efficiently than [...]

Note: This is week 8 of what was supposed to be a 12-week experiment in low carb dieting. The title was meant to be ironic, but it seems less so at the moment. If you are interested in the previous weeks’ mistakes and mishaps, they’re all here. I’m at a bit of an impasse at this point, [...]

I need to start totally fresh. Reframe the entire endeavor. There been a psychological hurdle that has been bothering me, and it is the constant reminder in the LoseIt! app of all the crap I’ve eaten. Once you’ve added a food, there’s no way to differentiate the ‘good foods’ (however you define this) from ‘bad [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
