Low carb (very very low carb)

Good idea on the pork rinds. I use almond meal a lot but it changes the texture of stuff while pork rinds don't seem to do that much.

Cool whip is mostly chemicals. Land-O-Lakes makes a REAL whipped cream that is sweetened with splenda. It's delicious!

Splenda is chlorinated sugar!!!

Yeah, I know. I gave up all my other vises, I haven't kicked this one yet.

Gary Taubes has a new free lecture up.

Have you checked out Stevia?

I thought there was some dirty laundry on Stevia as well... I don't know what it was but I do remember reading it.

I use the dried leaf Stevia in cooking and for teas. Refined Stevia tastes HORRIBLE!​

I had a bit of a sweet tooth last night and ended up with a diet coke poured over a couple of scoops of frozen cool whip.

I made a typo the first time I typed this and it said "poured over frozen COOP whip" hmmmmmmmm I wonder what y'all would of thought i poured my diet coke over. . . . . . .

Ack! I gained 5 lbs back in the last two weeks - depressing. Not sure what went wrong, I was doing so well...

I started my low carb diet this weekend. In fact today, I spent most of the afternoon cooking. I went to my local organic market where I get grass fed and free range meats, and got a 5 pound bag of grass fed ground beef. I made 5 1 pound meat loaves, with eggs, chopped onion, salt, pepper, garlic powder, tomato sauce. I baked them, cooled them down, wrapped them and put them in the freezer.

Interestingly enough, I didnt have to take an afternoon nap; I didnt have that sinking, cant keep my eyes open moment.
