Low Carb Microwave Muffin
I eat this super easy and versatile muffin almost everyday for breakfast, it would be rude not to share it's goodness. I use a large mug- probably a 16 ounce one melt a pat of butter in it (20 seconds or so), then swirl the butter around (not necessary but makes it easier to clean up) sometimes I'll soften a tablespoon of…

Carb and Fat Calories Count Differently?
I was reading "Eat Fat, Get thin" by Barry Groves, in it he says- The second Golden Rule of orthodoxy is: ‘A calorie is a calorie is a calorie’ – no matter where it comes from. This rule says that no matter what you eat, if you eat more calories than you use, you will gain weight. The figure often used is that one kilogram…

Battle of the diets- Stanford University study

Great article-scientific FACTS of weight loss
Thought this editorial in Scientific American was fantastic. We are learning new things all the time, and just because "someone told me" this or that about weight loss doesn't make it true.

Let me preface this with- I don't know a lot of science-y stuff. I was thinking about whole grains- is there really a difference if I eat a loaf of yummy french bread (just water, white flour and salt- no preservatives or anything funky) and then ate some wheat bran. Would that be the same as eating wheat bread? They…

That's what made me fat!
Time to point the finger- I can think of some foods that are directly responsible for me gaining weight. I can't really eat them anymore, because I won't be able to stop myself. No knead bread- I found this recipe a few years ago, super easy to make french/sourdough style bread that is better than bakery bread. I would…

BCAA's for muscle soreness?
I've read some reviews on bodybuilding.com and was wondering about branched chain amino acids. Have you tried them? Do they actually work on real people who don't have a ton of muscle to begin with? I'm about to move somewhere where I can start doing trx/crossfit/kettlebell training and I am excited but also scared of the…

40 days so far- I guess I'd better stop lurking
Hi all- I've been here for over a month and have enjoyed reading the boards so much, I'm not much of a "joiner" but I feel like it's time to jump in. I'm Liz- I've been eating healthier since the beginning of February, losing about a pound a week, although I am stalling a bit at the moment. I don't really have a lot to…
