My low-carb breakfasts

By Jim September 27, 2011 2 Comments

Often after I've told a friend or acquaintance about my low-carb way of eating, and explained that I no longer wheat, corn, rice or potatoes, one of the first questions I get is, "But what do you eat for breakfast?" Breakfast seems to be the carb-lover's favorite meal. I know my own breakfasts used to be carborific. My standard morning meal was cereal, milk, orange juice and coffee. I frequently added a slice or two whole-wheat toast with jam. Some mornings, I skipped the cereal and … [Read more...]

Is red meat guilty by association? Some at Harvard think so

By Jim August 14, 2011 2 Comments

The Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) giveth to the low-carb community, and it taketh away.

Keeping cool, low-carb style: simple salmon salad

Michigan viewed from space

When it's hot, most people like to eat light.  Low-carb makes that easy. Lately, it's been hot all over, including here in Michigan.  Locally, our temperatures have been in the 90s all week; today's high is predicted to be 98 degrees with a heat index of 110. If you live in Oklahoma or Texas, that may seem like a cool breeze to you, but up here, we aren't accustomed to temps in the upper 90s.
