Italian Chili – My Recipe for Beating the Cravings of Pasta and Pizza

Posted on January 22, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

Last night I made this, it came out quite good, and I thought I would share. This is yet another variation on what I’ve done before. It provides a meat and vegetable-filled dish similar to a chili or stew in consistency, and, covered in grated parmesan cheese, it not only awesome, but fills that hole [...]

Kitchen Experiment: Low Carb Chicken Cacciatore Recipe

Posted on April 15, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

I’ll be honest – I don’t know what ‘Cacciatore’ is – sounds gourmet though, doesn’t it? While my version is certainly not gourmet, I’ve made it twice and have really been enjoying it, so I am putting it here so I can remember – and of course, if any of you out there dare to [...]

Baby Broccoli Salad

Posted on May 12, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

I’ve been experimenting with quick-to-prepare simple meals that can be put together in 5 minutes or so. Having no time is part of it, lack of coherent meal planning is part of it, too. As I’ve been eating salads for lunch lately, I got a little tired of vinegar and needed a break, so decided [...]

Sodastream Seltzer Maker – 6 Month Review

Posted on December 5, 2009 by lowcarbconfidential

In July, I wrote about the SodaStream seltzer maker and my first impressions on it. I liked it then, but many things we have tend to become ‘just another thing’ over time and you sort of feel cheated because it’s not what you thought it would be like. (Ladies, many of you might feel this [...]

Eats and Exercise and Body Fat Measurement Voodoo: Jan 27, 2009

Posted on January 28, 2009 by lowcarbconfidential

Got up before 4am – had my 1 scoop of Nitrean protein powder and was at the gym about 4:10.  Did 20 minutes on the treadmill at 4.0 mph – max heart rate 129. Part of me kept longing for the weight-training…that’s something I thought I’d never see myself write. Did 3 circuits: leg press: [...]

Day 9: Homeostasis

Posted on October 21, 2008 by lowcarbconfidential

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 [...]

Day 6: “You GOTTA Go!”

Posted on October 18, 2008 by lowcarbconfidential

It was not a good day from a psychological perspective. As I said, this is no time to go on a diet for me – it’s nice to start a diet when your life is humming along, things are pretty routine, and your mental energy is high – this isn’t me. I’m not asking for [...]

Recommended Site – LowCarb.ca

Posted on October 1, 2008 by lowcarbconfidential

When I started low carb a little more than 5 years ago, the place I hung out the most was http://www.lowcarb.ca/. Many of the questions I had at the beginning were answered there. I haven’t hung there in a while, but I’d recommend you try it out if you’re looking for a place to ask questions [...]

Help Test a New Online Low Carb Program

Posted on June 1, 2008 by lowcarbconfidential

I was thinking about low carb substitutions – when you are jonesin’ for a bagel – what do you replace it with? I have my own list, but I know you folks out there could certainly come up with a bunch as well – my list would be no better than anyone else who’s been [...]
