Holidays, Carbs and Joint Pain

Holiday Eating

During the holidays, my usual health resolve weakened. I let my guard down and abandoned some of my usual healthy habits. Coupled with the stay at home COVID-19 pandemic, this holiday season turned into a self-soothing comfort food free for all. While I was reveling in my self-soothing free for all, I noticed I started… Read more

Avocado Salad

A few days ago my daughter explained a very simple ketogenic lesson to me and it became my “Aha” moment. The explanation was so simple, yet poignant. She said, “If you want your body to become a fat burning machine, you have to feed it fat.” That was it. That statement caused lightbulbs to flash, birds… Read more

My Fitness Pal

Update 1/21/21: In looking back over old posts, I came across this one.  What a waste of time that was.  It complicated something that should not be complicated.  To top it off, the site was hacked and my information was breached.  Oh well, simple things should remain simple.  Now back to the original post:  Adopting… Read more

When I look back over 2012 I can’t help but marvel at the number of items I gave up.  Of course for everything I gave up, I either added something new or changed the way I did things. Here’s a list of some of the things I gave up last year: Tossed out the microwave… Read more

Wonderful Bone Broth

Crock Pot

I can’t believe how wasteful I’ve been over the years. I recently discovered bone broth. Maybe what I should say is I’ve re-discovered bone broth and cringe when I think about the number of bones I threw away. Childhood Memories As a kid, I remembered my mother saving bones after Thanksgiving, Christmas or any other… Read more

Beef

One thing I learned about the low-carb journey is that it’s a journey of constant tweaks. In my first month the low-carb I went hog-wild eating fats. I totally changed my eating habits to something that was foreign to my body. The immediate influx of a large number of fats took some getting used to… Read more
