No Carbs After 5:00 a Good Diet Rule?

Tweet

I remember reading that a famous star (I think it was Pamela Anderson), years ago, followed the advice that someone in her family gave about losing weight when she needed to take a few pounds off.  It has to do with a hot topic – carbohydrate consumption.

Not that I’ve ever seen this [...]

Cutting Carbs After the Holidays?

One of the ways that a lot of people find very useful in helping them cut weight very quickly as compared to other diet regimens is to dramatically cut their carb intake.  I am one of those people. Unfortunately for me, long term low carb diets just don’t make me function at my [...]

Tweet

I’ve had quite an interesting journey over the years with my eating habits. I’ve experimented with all types of diets. I’ve experimented with diets which exclude a lot of different types of foods. Even healthy vegetables!

The super strict protein diets, or Atkins as it was widely known, where you are encouraged to [...]

Low Fat Beef Roast in Slow Cooker

Tweet

I found a really good, really easy recipe for a beef roast, but I made several tweaks to this recipe to make it my own and to also make it lower in fat than the original recipe.  You will need a timed slow cooker for this recipe, as the roast should really not [...]

Low Fat Green Beans Amandine

Tweet

So I wanted to make a lighter version of green beans amandine, which is a green bean dish with a lemony butter sauce which is delicious when it is made with oodles of real butter of course. Only problem as we all know, is that real dairy butter is loaded with fat and [...]

How Hard is the Atkins Diet?

Tweet

Basically, you watch the carb [...]
