Diet update, avocado hand, and brain needs (LCN 72)
Update and Replays Low Carb Nugget 72 I’m working on another project, and need to take some time off from the podcast. So tonight I’m presenting a “best of” episode that combines a couple earlier shows that I really like. But first a personal diet update . . . (more…)

Sugar: trick, not treat (LCN 71)
Sugar habits and consequences Low Carb Nugget 71 American teenage boys consume an average of a 161 grams of sugar a day. That’s 40 teaspoons of sugar. And you wonder why American children are becoming more obese? When it comes to our bodies and our health, both as individuals and as a nation, sugar is a dirty trick, not a sweet treat. (more…)

Keto reboot at four weeks
Keto reboot at four weeks
I started my Keto Diet Reboot four weeks ago today. I’m five and a half pound lighter now than I was then. That’s a slow rate of weight loss, just under a pound and a half per week. However, I had a lost weekend in the middle of the four weeks. It was a nice lost weekend spent with Anita at a romantic bed and breakfast, and I did my best to stay the low-carb, high-fat course. I thought I did a…

Three weeks
Today marked the end of the three-week induction period of my Keto Diet Reboot. I weighed in this morning at 223 pounds, which is the lightest I’ve been all year (at least as far as I know). Since September 25, I’ve lost 4.6 pounds — an average of 1.5 pounds per week. A weight loss rate of a pound-and-a-half a week isn’t spectacular. Back in 2011, when I first ate LCHF, I initially lost weight at…

Carbs: impairing health, promoting mortality (LCN 68)
What’s the best way to reduce the impact of dietary carbs on our health? Low Carb Nugget 68 If eating lots of carbs will sicken or even kill you, should you eat fewer of them, or rely on pharmacological options to reduce your body’s response to dietary carbohydrates? (more…)

Weight gain, weight loss in two short periods
Weight gain, weight loss in two short periods
Last weekend, Anita and I celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary with a short trip and a stay in an historic bed-and-breakfast. I did my best to be true to both my wife and my diet. The B & B provided me with eggs, meat, and coffee in the morning. I ignored the platter of chocolate-chip cookies available 24 hours a day. (Anita did not.) We picked restaurants where I could put together tasty…

Net carbs vs. total carbs (LCN 66)
Net carbs vs. total carbs (LCN 66)
Total Carbs – Fiber = Net Carbs Low Carb Nugget 66 Math to the rescue? Net carbs are the difference between total carbs in a food and the fiber. The idea is that fiber doesn’t do much if anything to raise your blood glucose, so you can safely ignore it. Keep your net carbs low, and you’ll keep your blood glucose and insulin response low. Then your body can burn fat. But can you trust net carbs as…

Control what you can
Control what you can
Weight control vs. diet control No one has direct control over their body weight, percentage of body fat, or waist circumference. Indirect control, maybe, but not direct control. For example, you can’t tell your body “lose five pounds” and expect it to obey. You can’t wake up and decide your waist-size for the day will be 36 inches. Sure, you could decide to pull out size-36 pants, and try to…

Intermittency in diet
Intermittency: a dietary change-of-pace Low Carb Nugget 65 When it comes to diet, “intermittency” means making frequent, significant changes in how much you eat. You need to throw your body a dietary change up, and not let it adjust to a single continuous level of intake. (Programming note: I won’t be releasing an episode of this podcast on Saturday, October 7th. Just two nuggets this week.)…

Super simple low-carb pancakes
Super simple low-carb pancakes
The need for super simple low-carb pancakes People new to the LCHF diet and life-style often miss their customary carb-laden comfort food. Personally, I think the best approach is to move on, embrace your new way of eating, and not try to recreate in low-carb form all the breads, pastas, and baked goods you used to enjoy. But a few exceptions may be good for your morale, and not hurt your carb…

What’s a reasonable weight loss rate?
Week One Report I ended the first week of my Keto Diet Reboot down three pounds for the week. On Monday, September 25, I weighed in at 227.5 pounds. On Sunday, October 1, I weighed 224.6 pounds.
