boring diet page, formerly known as the lo carblog.

I have started the new year by reinducting. I'm being extra strict, not even Splenda. Down five or so pounds already, and I feel much better than I had during the last couple weeks of the year when I was gorging (on legal foods, but just too much of them.)

My banta experiment didn't work out too well; I was doing it the fun way, i.e. "I've just had ten ounces of steak so now I have to eat two slices of cheesecake to get the fat ratio over 80%." Seems this isn't really how it's supposed to work. Apparently there's a concept called "limiting protein" that comes into play. Dunno. In any case, I'm inducting cleanly and actually having trouble hitting 20 grams a day. I've only gone over 10 grams once this week, and that's including the 2 cups of salad and cup of cooked other veggies every day, so go figure. The first time I did Atkins I had trouble keeping it under 20. But then again I wasn't limiting cheese or cream at all, and I am now. I was also eating lots of goodies. This time is easier, I think. Just drawing a line in the sand and not having any sweeteners at all helps a lot with the cravings.

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!

If this weblog isn't showing up in a frame with a big red blob in the corner, go to foomart.com to see it in its natural habitat.

If you want to send me email, just send it to anybody at foomart dot com.
