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 [...]

If you have the misfortune of reading this blog with any regularity, you will have noticed that I am a somewhat ‘restless’ individual, and try numerous self-experiments surrounding nutrition, health, and weight loss. Quite possibly, one of the most pointless experiments I chronicled on this site brings me a good portion of my traffic: Irvingia. [...]

I have already stated – somewhere – that as part of my 2012 resolutions I was going to try to ditch the drink mixes. the reason I’m writing about MiO, however, is because my resolutions are not necessarily your resolutions, and I thought you’d appreciate an honest review. Prior to going on vacation, I [...]

This was the book that I knew was inside of ‘Good Calories, Bad Calories’. ‘Why We Get Fat And What To Do About It‘ was to the book to give to friends, doctors, congressmen, and anyone else who wants to understand the futility of our current nutritional advice. Short and to-the-point, written in accessible style, [...]

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 [...]

Starting on the premise that part of my problems as of late is that my cooking is artless, I’ve been looking for ways to bring more care to my cooking – to perhaps spend a little more time and care, when possible, and try to bring out more of the pleasure in the great foods [...]

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 [...]

In case you didn’t notice, Atkins Nutritionals came out with an update to the Atkins plan. I think the book came out March 2, 2010, so it’s literally hot off the presses. If you would like to read a real review (not my ramblings here), click on the book above. When I checked it out, [...]

There’s a reason I don’t do too many reviews. First, I’m not all that good at them. I don’t like to memorize all those technical facts that make one sound knowledgeable about a product – nor do I really like to fact-check this sort of thing. I also come across very few products having to [...]
