I came across this blog – Low Carb for Two – when Lauren, the blogger, left a comment here. This blog has only been around a few weeks, but in that time, Lauren has managed to whip up a slew of recipes, detail her successes and failures – and take a boatload of pictures of [...]

This isn’t mine – I found this one over at The Fork Left Behind. I tried this recipe and followed it to the letter – which I don’t usually do. I salted the bird and let it sit in the fridge for 3 hours, then let it sit covered on the counter top cover for [...]

I am an idiot. I only have a slight edge over some other idiots in that I am open to discovering that I am an idiot, so that I might actually learn something new, or discover, sometimes to my horror, how something I thought I knew was so blindingly wrong. For the past month, I [...]

I do a lot of reading that has nothing to do with low carb, but still has an impact on my diet, my outlook, and my dogged persistence. I dislike doing book reviews because I feel I do an awful job at them, but I’ll make an exception here because each of these books have had [...]

UPDATE: He has – go read about it in my more recent post here. I loved the book ‘Good Calories, Bad Calories’ – the seminal work on the science behind low carb dieting – but I hated reading it. In my opinion, Gary Taubes is not a great author – he is a great presenter [...]
