When I eliminated all of the glutamates from my food storage, I realized that I had absolutely no way to make a simple stew or soup… because ALL of the broth options disappeared!
I had several. I had organic beef broth in a box from the local health food store. Sorry… glutamates. It’s gone.
I had several […]

This last week’s Thanksgiving trip to California came with it’s penalties as you can see in the measurements.
This week’s eating plan is all meat and eggs. Minimal seasoning will be allowed (a tiny amount of tomato sauce, any amount of spices, salt, mustard, etc).
The vegetarian eating plan was obviously a bust. I still don’t get […]

I’ve been pondering that lately. This week’s eating plan is vegan. I decided to really give vegan a fair shake (even though everyone I’ve ever met that was a vegan was fat)… so I’m making it a slow-carb vegan week.
I’m not eating bread, noodles, potatoes, carrots or any other high carb vegetable. I am eating […]

Have you heard of MSG (monosodium glutamate)?
Probably so. You probably know of Chinese restaraunts that proudly proclaim that they don’t use MSG. You may have heard that lots of people have alergic reactions to MSG. Maybe you have also heard that MSG is an excitotoxin that kills brain cells.
Have you heard that MSG is a HUGE […]

We returned from Costa Rica on Tuesday. After two months without a controlled eating plan of any kind, I gained 6 pounds. As I mentioned before, I’m not very upset about that. It means my body still has a higher set point than my current weight, but the weight gain is only an average of […]

I’ve been studying the conflicting reports about what microwave energy does to our food.
I tend to agree that localized temperatures (especially near water molecules) becomes extreme when you microwave food and will tend to destroy nutrients by disassembling their molecular structure. I think that’s pretty well established.
How does that lead to weight gain?
I’m not sure […]
