What Weight Loss Looks Like

Please forgive a post perhaps more rambling than most – I just noticed I haven’t written in a while and thought it unseemly to make the site appear abandoned.
You might think that I was abducted – or gave up on low carb and went on Jenny Craig.
Or said ‘to hell with this’, bought the Ho-Hos, [...]

Personal Journal 6-04-09: The Belt Speaks

Just a brief update – dashed off in a few minutes.
Yesterday morning when I was getting dressed – absent-mindedly, thinking about all the stuff that awaited me in work, I was suddenly awakened by a sensory signal that told me something had changed, and that I should focus my conscious awareness on the act of [...]

Eating Organic: Does It Help Weight Loss? Can You Do It Without Going Broke?

In this recent post I discussed some of the reasons I thought that I am now losing weight. For some time I got nowhere, but now I seem to be on the road of serious weight loss. I tried to outline some of the changes I made, but I left one out: I have been [...]

Why Am I Losing Weight Now? Some Possibilities Why

I seem to be in a groove right now. This past week, I’ve bounced around a bit, but I’ve also lost the 2 lbs. that doctors think is the maximum rate you can lose without hurting yourself. As I’ve been able to do this without much hardship – there’s no feeling of deprivation, no great [...]

Personal Journal 05-24-09: I Got My Mojo Again?

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 I’m 208.0.
It [...]

The Nicotine Experiment: Can it Help You Lose Weight?

It’s been about 13 days since I started the nicotine experiment, using Commit lozenges in an attempt to help me lose weight.
There is nothing on the Internet I could find that talked about this – except to say: ‘don’t do it.’ Now, I try not to be a dope about things, but this ‘don’t do [...]

Auto-Experimentation With Supplement X – Don’t Try This At Home

There’s a reason this blog is called ‘Low Carb Confidential’:

The ‘low carb’ part being because I follow a diet based off of the Atkins approach
The ‘Confidential’ part because sometimes…I feel a little weird writing some of the things I write

I feel a little weird about this post because I’ve started experimenting with a new supplement [...]

The Crackpot Continuum

Note: I am totally disgusted with trying to write this post coherently, and I don’t have time to do a rewrite, so I’m shamelessly posting this because I feel that there might be some worth to be found in this ramble – my apologies to the English language, as well as every English Composition teacher [...]

Saying Goodbye

While there have been a number of reasons I haven’t been writing as of late, one in particular is the kicker: not only have I NOT been maintaining my weight, but I’ve actually gained weight.
And that magic trick I once used to be able to pull off – go on low carb hard and lose [...]

Kitchen Experiment: Green Bean Dip

The name of this post is so after the fact – I didn’t know what the Hell I was creating when I started.
It was a Man, his food processor, and some aged frozen vegetables:

1 large bag frozen green beans
1/2 bag frozen broccoli
6 oz. cream cheese
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese
1 raw garlic clove
1/2 t. salt
1/8 t. freshly [...]
