Being Memorial Day weekend and nothing planned, my wife and I packed up the kids for a long car trip to Mitsuwa – a Japanese mall in Edgewater, on the Hudson river, in New Jersey. There’s...
Weight loss from start: 3.8 lbs. Day 1 of 105. Sunday, May 20, 2012. Weight: 211.4 In the morning I announced to my wife: “This is it. Today I’m going on a diet. I’m taking an expre...
To get to the answer to the question straight away: it might. This was brought up in a study reported on Msnbc.com, part of which states: …new research has determined that a judgmental attitude...
I’m going to start this post discussing Sigmund Freud – but it’s not what you think – really. This post is not about psychology. Sigmund Freud was a cokehead in a time when it...
Note: This is week 11 of what was supposed to be a 12-week experiment in low carb dieting. I have kept true to my title for these posts. The past chronicles are here, if this sort of stuff holds any ...
Thank GOD we’ve sorted that out. Some of us thought it was Wall Street destroying Amreica. Some thought it was illegal immigrants. Others thought it was moral decay. All wrong – its fat p...

Note: This is week 9 of what was supposed to be a 12-week experiment in low carb dieting. It seems to be about everything but. The past chronicles are here, if this sort of stuff holds any interest f...
Being a bit of a numbers nerd (ya think?!?), I find the emails sent by Fitbit kinda cool. Thought you might like a look. I am actually impressed with its accuracy. I’ve counted my steps a few t...
From the Palm Beach Daily News: Johns Hopkins researchers have made the proponents of the always controversial Atkins diet very happy. A recent study presented at the American Heart Association’s Mar...
As I am a person with a restless mind, you might have noticed in my postings that my interests span a large number of topics. If you have any interest in business and productivity, I’ve writte...
Note: This is week 8 of what was supposed to be a 12-week experiment in low carb dieting. The title was meant to be ironic, but it seems less so at the moment. If you are interested in the previous w...
I’ve mentioned in my posts over the past few weeks that I’ve been walking a whole lot more. I also do a lot of thinking as I do this. Unconscious thinking. Thinking where a complex though...
I have lifted this verbatum from Businessinsider.com: Overweight women make $13,847 less than average, while underweight women make $15,572 more. That means that a fat woman makes $29,419 less per ye...
I need to start totally fresh. Reframe the entire endeavor. There been a psychological hurdle that has been bothering me, and it is the constant reminder in the LoseIt! app of all the crap I’ve...
NOTE: This is a continuation of a 12-week experiment of sorts to break a stall and lose 20-pounds. It hasn’t been working. This week I learned something interesting about calories, however R...
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 ...
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 fr...
I’ve seen the plot. I know how it works now. ‘Counting calories is the only way to lose weight’ they tell us. So we get books listing calories, or get an app for our smart phone tha...
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, k...
In my ninth year doing this, I am more convinced than ever that eating copious amounts of saturated fats for nearly a decade has not only proved harmless to my health, but has prevented me from being...
Part 2 of a 12-part saga where our hapless low carb blogger tries to get past a stubborn stall, redeem himself, and finally be able to get clothes that more or less fit him. Sun, Feb 26, 2012 –...
God, I am tired of the level of discourse in the world today. It appears to me most ‘debate’ has descended to little more than character assassination and pithy sound-bites that might fee...
When I started low carb in 2003, Lowcarber.ca was the place I hung out. Recently, a commenter mentioned a chef named Karen Barnaby who had a low carb cookbook. The name rang a bell. I went to Lowcarb...
I came across this blog - Low Carb for Two – when Lauren, the blogger, left a comment here. This blog has only been around a few weeks, but in that time, Lauren has managed to whip up a slew of...
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 pou...
Now here’s some researchers an exercise-averse person like me has gotta love. “Millions of Americans don’t engage in much exercise, if they complete any at all and asked why, a majo...
Inspired by the flood of people who came to the site in January ready to start a new year on Atkins, I decided to try to follow along – I would give up my controlled carbing that I had been fol...
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...
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-availa...
