I have lost 12 pounds in a little over a week.  Today is my first "carb-up" day.  My strategy of including "carb-up" days is very contraversial.  Most of my readers don't think "carb-up" days are helpful.  But by occasionally increasing carb intake, I am attempting to keep my metabolism from adjusting to the low-carb diet.  I am taking 4 days off each month, typically 1 day per week.  It was hard to take myself off the low-carb today as I've been on a great ketosis streak and have had few cravings for carby foods.  But I do believe that it is g ..read more

About a month ago, in preparation to my starting my low-carb regiment, I picked up another low-carb cookbook.  I've tried six recipes out of it and must tell you that "Eating Stella Style" is the best low-carb cookbook I've come across.  Just about every recipe looks great.  The following is a summary of what I have tried so far from the book. Some of the successes are: Easy Tzatziki Sauce - a simple Greek cucumber cream sauce that is out of this world!  Pork Souvlaki - marinated pork kabob (excellent with the Tzatziki sauce). Crazy Egg Meatloaf - meatloaf with a twist ..read more

I am happy to report that I can now play with my Wii fit without first taking off my clothing (Wii balance boards have a 330 pound weight limit).  In about a month, I have lost over twenty pounds.  For the first 3 weeks, I lost between 4 & 5 pounds per week.  During the 4th and 5th week, progress has slowed resulting in under 2 pounds lost per week.  I had hoped that having 1 carb up day per week would prevent this slow-down but it apparently hasn't.  My calculated lean body weight has dropped about one pound which means there has been ..read more

Last night, I was experimenting with making cheese crisps.  These are snacks similar to crackers or tortilla chips  made out of cheese.  They're quite simple to make.  I tried three kinds last night:  American cheese (the real stuff, not cheese "food"), cheddar cheese, and pepper jack cheese "food".   The American cheese slices I cut into 16 squares a little less than an inch across.  The other cheeses I just sliced thinly off the end of the block.  All three turned out with very different textures.  The American cheese crisps were the mos ..read more
