Sugar: trick, not treat (LCN 71)

By JA October 28, 2017

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?

Keto reboot at four weeks

By JA October 23, 2017

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 good job, but when we got home, I found I'd gained back over two pounds. (See this earlier post.) … [Read more...]

Three weeks

By JA October 16, 2017

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 a rate three times that. But I was six years younger, and going from a high-carb to low-carb diet. … [Read more...]

Weight gain, weight loss in two short periods

By JA October 13, 2017

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 low-carb meals. All in all, things went fine, until I weighed myself the morning after our return.  … [Read more...]
