Posted on March 25, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

NOTE: For those of you who haven’t been following along, a brief introduction. After flailing pointlessly at a stubborn stall, I decided to try a period of really low carb dieting to break the stall – only I had forgotten how to do it. Concluding that I suck at low carb dieting, I decided to set forth [...]

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 [...]

Low Carb Crock Pot Brisket (With Pictures)

Posted on February 7, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

The kid and I had planned to cook a recipe for brisket from one of the cookbooks put out by America’s Test Kitchen, a concern that does what I do, but only on a large-scale – buys lots of food and ruins a lot of it – in order to come up with the perfect [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
