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, [...]

Kitchen Experiment FAIL: Low Carb Crock Pot Chicken Curry

Posted on January 15, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

I was WAY out of familiar territory here, and now have a pot full of food sitting in the fridge I know no one will go near. I can’t even begin to pretend that this one has any redeeming qualities. Experiments sometimes lead to failure – and this one was a big failure. This was [...]

Vacation

Posted on December 10, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

It’s that time of the year where I try to put things in order at work and hope things don’t blow up while I go on vacation. The iPhone is filled with TV shows and games to keep the kids zombie-like while the wife and I enjoy the sunshine and ocean breezes of the Caribbean. [...]

A Year of Losing Weight – or Maybe Eight Years

Posted on December 3, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

Last Thanksgiving, after a year where I had ballooned up to about 238 pounds rather quickly, I recommitted to low carb yet again. Today, one year later, I am down to 205. That works out to 33 pounds in 1 year, or 0.63 pounds a week, an absolutely horrible number – if you’re in a [...]

Save the Crab!

Posted on September 17, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

Legal Seafoods is an awfully expensive seafood resturant that I go to maybe once or twice a year. I have to travel over an hour to get there, and usually buy the trout, which is one of the least expensive items on the menu. Why I do this is because they are one of the [...]

Grilled Tomatoes

Posted on August 28, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

I consider myself fortunate to live in New Jersey. New Jersey is the butt of many jokes, but it’s a misunderstood place, known mostly for Bruce Springsteen, the notorious show ‘The Jersey Shore’ which I have never seen, The show ‘The Sopranos’ which I have never seen, and the New Jersey Turnpike – the stretch [...]

Atkins Induction: The Rules This Time

Posted on July 28, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

I’ve been in the state known as ketosis, brought about by following the rules of Atkins Induction, more times than I can count. I have also been either very successful or not-so successful at staying in Induction for an extended period of time and losing weight.

A Visual Guide to Cognitive Biases

Posted on July 8, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

Don’t have much time this morning, but I thought I’d share this: Cognitive Biases – A Visual Study Guide I wish that losing weight was just about what you eat. It isn’t. It is also about what you think. When you cave and give in to temptation, it was some thought that allowed you to [...]

A List of Low Carb Recipe Sites

Posted on June 27, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

“If I go on low carb, what the heck am I going to eat?” It seem I hear that a lot – most people think it’s bacon, eggs, butter and steak. The problem is that most people go on a low carb diet before they read up on it. They usually end up eating eggs [...]
