I don’t know yet. I will explain. But before I do here are two snapshots (selfies I guess) that I took about an hour ago. These are taken at noon before my first meal for the day and after I’ve just come back from a 3-mile run, preceded by a few sets of pull-ups and…
Summary:: This is a re-engineered version of a more common Pumpkin Custard Recipe. How is it re-engineered? For starters, there is no sugar added and the custard is made without the use of eggs. Truvia (erythritol + Reb-A) takes the place of sugar and gelatin replaces the eggs. Ingredients: 14 oz. can pureed pumpkin 14…
Excerpts from this article in PreparedFoods.com with my comments and thoughts: Snacks sold in U.S. schools from next year (July 2014) must be lower in fat, salt and sugar, according to federal rules aimed at giving students more nutritious options and fighting childhood obesity.

I’ve posted two other low-carb ice cream recipes on this blog before – Key Lime and Rich Chocolate. They were not only low-carb but also “functional“. In other words, they were designed to play the role of a complete meal (I know what you are thinking: “A bowl of ice cream is a complete meal?”)….
Which should you choose for sweetening your food – sugar or artificial sweeteners? Which sweetener is better? Is any of them “better” at all? In an experiment scientists gave rats a predetermined amount of yogurt with saccharin and another group of rats – the same amount of yogurt with glucose (1). Not only did…

I had a few pieces of rotisserie chicken left in my fridge from the night before. Didn’t know what to do with them so I came up with quick BAKED Chicken Leftovers, Spinach and Portabella Burgers (or patties, if you wish). It’s very easy, and it takes about 8-10 minutes to throw everything together. Baking time…
Although I am not personally gluten sensitive beyond the normal sensitivity of all humans to gluten, a storage protein in the Triticeae grasses family, to which wheat and rye cereal grains belong, I do my best to avoid foods, containing these proteins. I’ve operated a dedicated gluten-free bakery for 3 years. During that time, of course,…
This just in. A Gallup survey just came out demonstrating that the rate of obesity is increasing nearly among all age groups, compared to the obesity numbers from 2008. Gallup polled 500K+ individuals to gather this data. The age group that showed the least amount of upward change was the 18-27-year old adults (look at the chart…
