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, [...]

My diet, to put it bluntly, is going nowhere.
That’s not the point of this post, however.
What I don’t get – even though I have experienced this throughout my history on low carb – is how very frequently what I eat has no correlation with what I weigh. Over the years I have tried to glean [...]

I’ve been way busy with work – and my commitment to losing weight has suffered for it.
I have long work-days filled with an extraordinary amount of details to remember – and often need to improv on what I know as meetings are called on a whim and I have to go in cold without prep [...]

A screenshot from the iPhone app ‘Lose It’
I started what I’m calling the Food Monotony Project on Tuesday, Jan 19, and since that day I’ve eaten mostly to plan. The thinking behind this goes back to a blog post I wrote in July of 2008. I forget a lot of my posts, but the points [...]

Earlier in the year, I bemoaned my lack of weight loss and set a goal for the year of losing 40 lbs. – then did nothing to try to reach that goal. There’s been a number of life changes at work and at home that have put the pressure on and lately, I’ve felt that [...]

A brief update. For the first time in ages, I’ve been in ketosis for almost three weeks. I don’t think I’ve had such a long, unbroken run since I lost my weight originally – 6 years ago.
Maybe – just maybe – this time might be the one that I peel off the extra pounds and [...]

My Perception of Your Standard Low-Calorie Diet
I’ve been lax in journaling – I promised I would do so some time back.
Apparently I lied.
Anywho, I have been quite adherent to an Atkins induction-style diet, and have been in ketosis for about 8 days straight. When I started this, about 10 days ago, I had puffed up [...]

This is NOT a picture of the recipe below, but it looks pretty good.
This recipe is a variation on the ‘chili’ recipes that I’ve been making the past few weeks – I just varied it to be more ‘Italian’.

On April 13th of this year I started experimenting with nicotine, in the form of Commit lozenges, as a means to help stave off food cravings. As of today, 6 months later, I would say this:
The 4mg lozenges, taken on average 4 times per day, do reduce food cravings
I have lost no weight since [...]

NOTE: WordPress has a new feature that allows you to add copyright-cleared images to your blog. The problem with this is choosing the right one. For instance, I searched on ‘doctor’ for this post and came back with 3800 pictures. Who has time for this?!? So I’ve decided to pick pictures that have only the [...]
