Welcome to another Carbie Doll edition of low maintenance low carb cooking. If you’re like us, you’re on the go and want to keep things low (carb that is). The Carbie Dolls are big fans of crockpot cooking. This week, I tried a modified version of this scrumptious pork roast. Here’s what you’ll need: 1 medium sized [...]
Last year, I was introduced to the Paleolithic Diet. Some of you may have already heard of it. The idea is, you should eat whatever Cavemen would eat. In other words, hunter gather-y foods or things that do not require factory processing and must die before you eat them (vegetables, fresh meat etc.). Today, I’d like play devil’s [...]
We all have our weaknesses and vices. Maybe yours is chocolate chip cookie dough? Krispy Kreme donuts? Peanut butter by the spoonful? An entire box of palate-shredding Apple Jacks cereal? My vice you ask? The one that renders me senseless, saps my inner resolve and forces me to do its bidding at the mere sound [...]
Let me start off by saying…I love my husband. Really and truly. He is perfect for me and I can’t imagine spending my life with anyone else. He does, however, seriously cheese me off in one respect. He’s naturally thin and fit and if he feels like losing a few pounds, he just does. Period. [...]
Unless you’re living under kryptonite or stuck in some rift in the space-time continuum, you’ll have heard of James Cameron’s Avatar. For benefit of those rift dwellers, the basic gist is this. Scientists invent a way to grow a human/alien hybrid “shell” body and link it up to your brain waves. In other words, you [...]
I’m zombified. Christmased out. Cooked. I ate, I drank, I was mildly merry. The up shot? I liked my Xmas outfit. Black sweater dress with silver glittery tights and sweater boots. It worked out much better than LAST year when I shopped high and low for a skirt and sweater which I (idiotically) wore tucked [...]
In keeping with the “Not Another Fat Christmas” vow, I’ve embarked on a little something I like to call the 12 Days of Atkins. Sort of like what you’d get with the 12 Days of Christmas, but with fewer birds. For 12 days, I’m going back to my low carb roots and recommitting. I don’t [...]
Amidst scouring the internet/mall/closest Toys for Tots bin for the best holiday sales, we all have a decision to make. What are we going to wear for Christmas/hanukkah/Kwanza/New Year’s Eve/53 Days ‘Til President’s Day? Despite declaring that we were not going to have another fat christmas…we feel like there’s at least a possibility that we could [...]
Christmas is 24 days away. If you don’t celebrate Christmas (you lucky dogs you!!!), 2010 is just 30 days away. Where are you on your weight loss goals? Have you faithfully stuck to your eating and exercise goals and toned your bulbs right off? Are you ready to party like it’s 2009? Yeah…neither are we…er…not [...]
In my never-ending quest to give you the latest and greatest diet information available on the interwebs (and more often then not detail how I have failed miserably at implementing it)…I bring you the Low Carbon Calculator. What’s that you say? You already know how to calculate your carbs?? They have little labels on the [...]
