“You know you’re going to become a diabetic, don’t you?” Said my doctor as we went over my blood work.

I just had my blood work done, and although my numbers are pretty good, my glucose was 106 [...]

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 a [...]

We live in a time where [...]

Do you think of yourself as a crackpot, dear reader?
The survey that I put up 2 weeks ago shows that a lot of you have been on low carb for a while - and you’ve lost weight doing it. And part of the reason you visit the site is to hang out with other folks [...]

The idea is simple: take your TV, your DVD player, your video iPod, your XBOX 360, your laptop, your PSP, and say goodbye to them all for seven days. Simple, but not at all easy. Like millions of others before you, you’ll be shocked at just how difficult - yet also how life-changing - a [...]

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…

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.
