  • Wheat/Flax Minute Bread

    I chose to call this recipe minute bread and not minute muffin because of the way I use it. Cooked in a bowl and sliced in half it works great as a bun to hold a hamburger or bacon and eggs.

    If you want a really low-carb version, leave out the wheat and use 1/4 cup of flax. You end up under 4 net carbs that way.  This recipe is fun to play with adding different seasonings/flavors.

  • Before and After

    Before and After

    I don’t like to think about before, because for almost a decade I was obese.  It made me sad to be that way, and I tried to hide from the world.

    Spring 2003 I started Atkins. I began eating meat just to go on the diet. I remember the first morning waking up and praying to God for His help.  I was such a mess (binge-eating and carb addiction) that I knew I could not do it on my own.  The two-week induction phase delivered results and motivated me.  I started walking on a treadmill. It took almost three years to lose 70lbs.

    I have kept most of it off, and my diet evolved into eating mostly real foods using LCHF as a template. I have found this is best for me to keep a healthy weight.

    If you see me not eating, it is not because I don’t eat.  It is not because I don’t like your cooking or don’t want to celebrate your birthday. I eat plenty of meat, cheese, vegetables, nuts, fats, and dark chocolate.  I have to be careful with what I eat, because I don’t want to be that sad person hiding again.

  • Roast Challenge Conclusion

    As I was chopping up roast for the one pot sorta cabbage roll, I looked at the roast that was left coupled with the remaining tomato paste and decided to try to make some sorta bbq chopped beef.  That finished off the roast and was the overall favorite madeover.

    bbq chopped beef

    tomato paste, water, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, xylitol, cayenne, chili powder, liquid smoke, salt, pepper, ground oregano, chopped roast

    We ate it with pickles and mustard.

    A $17 roast turned out about 13 adult meals and 3 children’s dinner/lunches. When we ate these meals, that was all that was served so portions were generous.

    I think I showed myself that eating real food does not cost more, does not take much more work, and is quite yummy!

    Also, the roast that keeps on giving yielded 3.75 cups of broth that I popped into the freezer for some sorta future soup start.

  • Pat Robertson vs. God on Low-Carb Diets

    “What happens is you build up the clinkers. You get swollen joints, you get gout.”

    “Sooner or later, it violates the principles that God set down.”

    The video with those quotes from Pat Robertson was jumped on with lightning speed all over the net. Unfortunately, it was jumped on most quickly by secular sources while it seems religious leaders have been silent or reserved.

    I’m no religious leader but I felt it necessary to respond to Mr. Robertson’s comments on low-carb diets. First, as a Christian, one of the most significant aspects of Christ to me was that He seemed to have His biggest issues with organized religion and its leaders. Christ asked those leaders how they could speak of anything good when they were the “offspring of vipers.” Now, I’m not able to see the heart of men, including that of Pat Robertson. I am however, able to apply the common sense that God gave all of us to determine right from wrong. As a religious leader he is obligated to speak the truth and is held to a higher standard.

    In light of that, I must point out that the Bible is replete with information on diet and health. One of the earliest ones goes all the way back to Noah.

    Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs.
    ~Genesis 9:3

    Common sense won’t allow the reconciliation of the statement that low-carb “violates the principles that God set down” and the verse quoted above. In fact, that verse alone seems to call on mankind to eat naturally. A way of eating that involves meats (if it moves) and vegetables. Principles found in low carb diets, paleo diets, and any other “diet” that brings you back into a healthy state. What it doesn’t support is a diet full of lab grown low carb foods and diets foods that infuse our bodies with GMO bacterial waste which has been benzylated, hydrolysed, methylated, and then debenzylated (from the aspartame patent).

  • Olive Oil Rich Diet Helps Fight Diabetes – Digital Journal

    Many believe the only way to prevent diabetes is by using numerous pharmaceuticals, but research points to the contrary.

    Bellucci Premium Comments on a Report That the Olive Oil Rich Mediterranean Diet Can Help Lower the Risk of Diabetes – Press Release – Digital Journal

    That research being done by the Mario Negri Institute of Pharmacological Research. A 50+ year old non-profit organization dedicated biomedical research. Following over 22,000 participants for eleven years, researchers found that, “Those who had …. a diet with a high concentration of carbohydrates were 21 percent more likely to develop diabetes.”

    Heading over to the Mayo Clinic for a quick look at the Mediterranean Diet basics finds that it includes real foods and, “perhaps even a glass of red wine.” Gasp! Perhaps a little wine for your stomachs sake?

    The Mediterranean diet incorporates the basics of healthy eating — plus a splash of flavorful olive oil and perhaps even a glass of red wine — among other components characterizing the traditional cooking style of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea.

    Most healthy diets include fruits, vegetables, fish and whole grains, and limit unhealthy fats. ~link
