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 [...]

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, [...]

My Last Post on Nicotine Lozenges as a Weight Loss Device

Posted on January 25, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

On Christmas Day, 2011, I ran out of nicotine lozenges. That was it. It’s over. A very expensive and annoying addiction to nicotine lozenges, started nearly 3 years ago when I got this hare-brained idea that: if people who stop smoking gain weight because they don’t have nicotine, can people lose weight if they take [...]

How I lost 10 Lbs.: Jan 2, 2011 to Feb 5, 2011

Posted on February 5, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

On Jan 3, I wrote this post, starting a new stab at peeling off the pounds. To spare the internet more pointless blogging, I stated that I’d write about it again only when I lost 10 lbs. It’s really only interesting then – most of us play around is a 5-pound range and it’s water [...]

Atkins Induction: The Rules This Time

Posted on July 28, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

I’ve been in the state known as ketosis, brought about by following the rules of Atkins Induction, more times than I can count. I have also been either very successful or not-so successful at staying in Induction for an extended period of time and losing weight. While I am not recommending long-term ketosis- Atkins doesn’t, [...]

The Food Monotony Project – Day 6 Update

Posted on January 24, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

A screenshot from the iPhone app ‘Lose It’ I started what I’m calling the Food Monotony Project on Tuesday, Jan 19, and since that day I’ve eaten mostly to plan. The thinking behind this goes back to a blog post I wrote in July of 2008. I forget a lot of my posts, but the [...]

The Food Monotony Project

Posted on January 20, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

Earlier in the year, I bemoaned my lack of weight loss and set a goal for the year of losing 40 lbs. – then did nothing to try to reach that goal. There’s been a number of life changes at work and at home that have put the pressure on and lately, I’ve felt that [...]

8 Days in Ketosis and 10 Lbs. Down

Posted on October 29, 2009 by lowcarbconfidential

I’ve been lax in journaling – I promised I would do so some time back. Apparently I lied. Anywho, I have been quite adherent to an Atkins induction-style diet, and have been in ketosis for about 8 days straight. When I started this, about 10 days ago, I had puffed up to 218.6 due to [...]

Update On Nicotine as a Weight Loss Device

Posted on October 18, 2009 by lowcarbconfidential

01/25/12 UPDATE: Nearly 3 years of experimentation and here’s my summary: My Last Post on Nicotine. On April 13th of this year I started experimenting with nicotine, in the form of Commit lozenges, as a means to help stave off food cravings. As of today, 6 months later, I would say this: The 4mg lozenges, [...]

My Crappy Diet

Posted on October 4, 2009 by lowcarbconfidential

I enjoy reading everyone’s comments – even the ones that rip me a new one. I like those especially because they are a reality-check: you need to give opposing ideas a real solid testing, and not dismiss them outright. There might be something to learn there.
