Top 10 Posts of 2009

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.

Day 9: Homeostasis

Today started with an Atkins bar at about 8am. At Noon, I ate a pint of the mock potato salad. Then at 3pm I had another bar. I did feel rather dizzy during the day, but I attributed this to my getting maybe 4 hours of sleep the night before. It was when I got [...]

Kitchen Experiment # 20: Eggs, Peppers & Tomatoes

Here we go again…I got some food to use up, I put it together in a spontaneous manner, and it comes out edible – yummy even. Having bought way too many peppers at the farmer’s market, I took 4 of these, chopped them up, then added a few somewhat aged tomatoes – still good, though [...]

How Big Is Your Carbin’ Footprint?

OK, this time I think I did it.  I Googled it, and NOBODY has used “Carbin’ Footprint” as far as I can tell.  I’m copyrighting it here and now, so if you want to use the term legally, send me an email and we’ll talk. So anyway, I was thinking about how it’s been over [...]

The Utter Simplicity Of The Low Carb Shopping Trip

Last night as I was going through the grocery store sale papers in preparation for this week’s shopping trip, it struck me just how simplified my life has become since going low carb.  One of my favorite things to do is shop.  Whether for food, or electronic gear, or something someone asked me to find [...]

Stepping Into The Pasture – My First Encounter With Graze Anatomy

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… For a variety of reasons, I decided it was time to [...]

Some Of The Pod People Are Starting Low Carb All The Time

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.  It usually results in a high number of daily page reads of a post LCC wrote last August.  I tend to forget about those strange feelings [...]

Tales From The Syndrome X Files, Episode 3: The Twilight Zone Diet

“Listen to me, LISTEN to me!  I’M NOT CRAZY!” I woke from a dream just a few hours ago and, after contemplating for a while, a concept struck me that is so bizarre that it might just be possible.  I was so excited about getting it down on paper (well, this white stuff on the monitor, anyway) [...]

Introducing The MEGAMAS Ultra-Mega-Loss Low Carb Diet Plan!

Alright, now that I’ve got your attention… Seen anything resembling the above post title in any magazine ads or infomercials lately?  Any two-page spreads in your newspaper’s Sunday coupon section with bikini-clad babes and skinny dudes holding the waistband of their old fat pants out two feet from their abdomen with giant blurbs claiming that you (yes, YOU, tubbo!) can [...]

Does Chewing Gum Have An Effect On Weight?

I had this thought yesterday as I was sitting in a department meeting watching the secretary chew her gum like a cow strung out on crystal meth.   We’ve been rolling this concept around in the blog that it isn’t just food that stimulates weight gain from the secretion of insulin as a result of sugar in [...]
