I Suck At Low Carb Dieting – Week 4 – Alien Hand Syndrome

Posted on March 18, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

Reflecting back at the previous week, I made some decent progress. I shed 8 lbs., which isn’t shabby, though I’m not too impressed as most of the weight was most likely water retention from a blowout the prior week. A major event was getting my ass to the gym every day last week and the [...]

I Suck At Low Carb Dieting – Week 3

Posted on March 11, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

I have been having a bit of a problem with, ahem, compliance – the ongoing process of actually keeping the promises I’ve made myself as to this 12-week experiment in full-bore low carb, ketogenics, exercise, and calorie-monitoring. I can’t test a set of variables if I don’t stick to them, so at the start of [...]

I Suck At Low Carb Dieting: Week 1 – February 26, 2012

Posted on February 26, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

I must admit, honestly and frankly: I suck at low carb dieting. This might sound odd coming from a guy who has been more or less following a low carb lifestyle since September of 2003 and lost 80 pound doing it, but I can tell you – after all these years, it still ain’t easy [...]

Kitchen Experiment: Making My Own Sauerkraut (With Step-by-Step Pictures!)

Posted on February 6, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

I have been enjoying real, fermented sauerkraut this past week. There are apparently a number of reasons why eating real fermented vegetables might be real good for you – probiotics, bio-availability of nutrients, yada, yada, yada. Check out this link from Mark’s Daily Apple if you want a good overview of the health benefits. I was just [...]

Kitchen Experiment – Low Carb Kale and Bacon Crustless Quiche

Posted on January 26, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

Inspired by a Quiche that Lee Kirsten posted on her blog, I decided to make one, so I riffed off her recipe a bit, using what I had at hand: 5 oz. package of baby kale the wife bought on sale and I could imagine no one eating 5 strips of bacon leftover from some [...]

Do Low Carb Diets Fail Partly Because of Social Pressure?

Posted on January 23, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

The other day, before the start of yet another meeting at work, someone brought up Dr. Oz. One person said: “I always used to think that drinking skim milk was good for you, but Dr. Oz said you should drink 2%.” It was said as a revelation, a shock. I couldn’t help myself: “You know, [...]

MiO Drink Mix (sorry -’Water Enhancer’) – A Replacement for the Sodastream Soda Mixes?

Posted on December 29, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

  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 [...]

10 Pounds Lost: An Introduction

Posted on January 3, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

I have chronicled my efforts at weight loss before. I don’t like the word ‘journey’ – it sounds so romantic: I imagine swelling movie music, perhaps standing nobly, chin up, on the deck of some beautiful ship, below a brilliant blue sky, sailing to some magical place, perhaps with a woman (in my case my wife, of [...]

Ya gotta love this blog if you enjoy watching the best of intentions crumble in the face of a box of cookies. Well, here we are – another year – 2011. 2010 was my worst year in all my seven years following a low carb lifestyle. In the past year, I gained 20 lbs. I [...]

Quick & Easy Low Carb Scallop Recipe

Posted on November 13, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

Before you accuse me of a misuse of the word ‘recipe’ to describe this post, realize that I use this blog as my own reference for concoctions – if I don’t document it here, I forget. I enjoyed this, my family enjoyed it, so this faux-recipe gets posted: 1 bag Trader Joe’s frozen scallops Old [...]
