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

30 Days No Veggies? Really?

No Veggies

The title of this blog post is a bit misleading. I’ve actually gone more than 30 days without eating veggies (more like 60 days), but that’s neither here nor there. If you would have told me several years or even several months ago that the human body could survive just fine without vegetables, I would… Read more

Looking Back on 2018

Goodbye 2018

I think I’m over the whole New Year’s Resolution phase of my life. When I was much younger I’d start the year with a laundry list of resolutions and never get further than 30 days in sticking with them. Sadly, I’m not unique in this practice. I believe it was a couple of years ago… Read more

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

Blurry Vision

From my experience, I think adopting a ketogenic lifestyle will cause temporary blurred vision in some people. I noticed that after I went on an LCHF ketogenic way of eating my vision started to get blurry. I wear reading glasses and at times they didn’t seem strong enough. There were times I would put them… Read more

My Weight Loss Journey

Low Carb High Fat

As I travel along on my dietary journey, I continue to learn quite a bit about food and how our bodies handle food. Sometimes the information I read seems conflicting, but when I really take the time to understand what I’m learning, one underlying theme seems to hold true no matter what I learn. That… Read more

Liver Love

How often do we think about our livers? When we think of health we think of reaching a certain weight, having clear skin, being free from aches and pains and having an overall robust energy level. If we get a pimple, we’re quick to alter our beauty routine to get rid of it. If we… Read more

Body by Science

The more I take control of my health, the further away I walk from conventional wisdom. There are times, however, when embarking on a whole new adventure, it takes time to sort out the wheat from the chaff. Easy to Understand There are some things that are easy to understand, like MSG, trans fats and… Read more

Starting the New Year Right

Every year for as long as I can remember I would vow to lose weight and visit the gym regularly. This year is different.  I’m going to cancel my gym membership and let my new way of eating worry about my weight. Low Carb no Cardio Overload Since I’ve changed my way of eating a… Read more
