boring diet page, formerly known as the lo carblog.

Monday, May 23

Sorry I never post anymore over here. It's just that low carb is just how I eat now. Atkins works, I feel great, and don't see any reason to change that. We had the inlaws over for dinner and had: a Caesar salad (with truffle oil instead of anchovies, for my vegetarian brother-in-law); Camarao de Coco, a yummylicious shrimp and coconut milk dish from Mozambique; cauliflower rice, butter-wrinkled beans; a spinach soufflé; and the picture-perfect key lime cheesecake I made last night. You, know, "diet food". Why on earth would I go back to the other stuff?

One new thing I've been doing is eating 3 or 4 tablespoons of coconut oil every day. I use it in cooking in place of other fats, I've developed a (vegan!) frozen dessert (can't call it ice cream) which will knock your socks off, really. I also make little candies that I pop when I need some quick energy or appetite suppression. Works great, and my skin has never been softer. Do a google for coconut oil and you'll find a bazillion sites—most of whom sell the stuff—all trumpeting the health benefits of coconut oil. Sales pitches aside, I think they may be onto something. I know I've never had this much energy. I don't think I had Candida but it seems to work wonders for people who do.

So there you go. Something new.

Diet stuff (specifically low-carb, Atkins-type stuff) will be on this weblog from now on, so as not to clutter the regular blog with its boringness. As I learn about new low-carb stuff I'll post it to this blog, so check in from time to time if you care to. If you got here directly from a search result and want to read about anything other than low-carb living, here's how you get to the rest of my site!
