Apparently, consuming one lousy egg a day will kill you... 2008-04-10 21:57:05 Well it seems the latest study to make the news every where is this one that demonises egg consumption, but whats new...WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Middle-aged men who ate seven or more eggs a week had a higher risk of earlier death, U.S. researchers reported on Wednesday.Men with diabetes who ate any eggs at all raised their risk of death during a 20-year period studied, according to the study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.Seven or more eggs a week raises risk of deathSurely, you would think there would be an awful lot of low carbers dropping dead by now?After reading that, I went and tracked down the study (only abstract was available) as well as an editorial, in hopes to find out more about it but alas, I didn't find much:Egg consumption in relation to cardiovascula Read more:lousy
Kimmer: Cut Calories and Take Laxatives 2008-04-16 20:12:41 Have you guys seen this conversation that was allegedly in private messages from Kimmer?If true which IMO I am 100% sure it is, this is a good example of the kind of crap that came out of Kimmers mouth in private messages on her forum. Here she is trying to help a lady lose weight faster, a lady averaging somewhere close to a mere 600 calories a day. She tried to go even lower but gets dizzy at 450 cals. Kimmer seems to think the only reason for her dizziness is her 8 or so carbs a day in that shes having too many carbs! :eek:Basically, shes telling this lady to lower her calories even more, take laxatives and even lower carbs more because they are causing her blood sugar issues and perhaps she has diabetes!An example of her advice to this lady:I can only give you my opinion. I don’t thi Read more:Calories
Scam Watch: Weight Loss Scams 2008-04-19 19:23:06 Here is one for people from Australia and NZ that have been scammed or are concerned about a weight loss scam that they have seen and wish to report it. I reported Kimkins...It is an Australian government website called Scam Watch and they have a page for weight loss scams.From their website:What are weight loss scams? These scams promise weight loss for little or no effort. The scam may involve an unusual or restrictive diet, ‘revolutionary’ exercise or fat-busting devices, or products such as pills, patches, or creams. Scammers exploit the fact that people can often be attracted by promises of success with little effort. Many weight loss scams suggest that you can achieve great results without having to do any extra exercise or even modify your diet. Often, attractive people or celeb Read more:Weight

Look, Spider! 2008-04-20 01:12:19 I can't help myself, I have to share with everybody...My daughter (nearly 3) did this today on Paint without any prompting or help, then turned around and said "Look, Spider
!" so cute... :)
Oink Oink 2008-05-15 23:24:18 To those that liked the spider I thought you might like her pig that she did a while back :)She turned 3 at the end of April and boy am I starting to regret showing her how to use MS Paint. In some ways it was good because she would go through so much paper in a day it's not funny, she'd do a quick sketch then bang onto the next piece of paper. She got to some of Ryans spare school books and befor
Low Carb Chocolate and Pecan Brownies 2008-05-16 20:58:00 I went off the elimination diet a while ago now, have toughened up on my carbs and have started playing in the kitchen. I am a chocolate lover and the elimination diet meant no chocolate so what do you think I wanted to play with first?Chocolate

Sodium Benzoate and DNA damage 2008-05-27 22:30:18 I have mentioned before about my reservations towards aspartame and recently there was that aspartame experiment on rats. There is a good list of aspartame side effects and some of the various articles here: Aspartame.A fellow low carber Cleo shared her experiences recently as well: No More Aspartame For Me.However one thing I ponder is if some of the reactions people report due to aspartame could Read more:Sodium
Is www.lowcarbshop.com.au a scam? 2008-06-03 23:57:06 Just wanted to do a quick post in hopes to get the message out there to any fellow Aussies that don't frequent my forum. Basically, we have a few complaints dating back to December from people whom have ordered from this website, had their credit card charged but have no received the goods!People have tried to contact them with no response and when they call the business behind the shop they are t
Low Carb Flourless Chocolate and Hazelnut Cake 2008-06-15 18:58:43 I have been really enjoying the cream cheese muffin recipe from LCF for my breakfasts. I am currently debating between making another batch today or decarbing another yummy looking recipe thats a cross between cheesecake muffins and cake and yes you guessed it, it involves chocolate ;)But anyway, last week I had something different for breakfast, something chocolaty and something surprisingly not Read more:Chocolate
Low Carb Easy Eggs 2008-07-01 01:03:25 I thought I'd share my favourite way to eat eggs, I call them Easy Eggs because they are just that, easy but also very yum. If your feeling sick and tired of eggs try this, but remember don't have it every day or it will end up just like every other egg dish!This is a picture of my eggs that I had last night, they actually look better then that when they first come out of the oven. I did plan on t
The Metabolism Society needs your help, please sign. 2008-06-23 20:28:12 I received this in my email today for my website and promptly posted it on my low carb forum but just now realised I should probably chuck it up here too for my readers whom don't frequent the forum:I just received this in my inbox from Richard Feinman, founder of the Nutrition and MetabolismSociety
and editor for the journal, Nutrition and Metabolism.Basically, it is a petition for the goal on b
Low Carb Buttery Almond & Coconut Cake 2008-07-17 21:08:52 This is a HUGE winner, definitely a keeper that I will be making over and over. It is a recipe by an Australian Author/Chef Belinda Jeffery that I converted to low carb (wasn't hard!), this lady is a genius!Now if you wish to get the carb count down more I am sure you could simply replace the splenda with one of the various versions of stevia or you could use splenda tablets or the liquid splenda.

Low Carb, Cream Cheese Muffins 2008-07-16 19:49:07 Nance, asked in the comments section for the recipe so I thought I'd take a picture of one I made last night and share here. Now this may look very plain and basic but it is actually very yum. Don't be afraid to try it if you don't like baked cheesecakes, as I didn't like them either, until now so you never know you may love these too!The recipe is from the Low Carb Friends Forum, make sure to che Read more:Cream

Rethinking Low-Fat Advice and Living in Starvation Mode 2008-08-12 06:30:45 I was looking through the forum for some articles on fat for one of our new members whom is a little worried about fat, particularly saturated fat, we have all been there, right?Anyway, whilst doing so I came across a couple of little nuggets that I posted ages ago which were such a good read. I would link to the original articles but it seems they are no longer online which is such a shame, I am Read more:Living
Low Carb Lemon and Garlic, Roast Chicken 2008-09-04 02:35:30 One of my favourite chefs as far as recipes go is Jamie Oliver as I find a lot of his recipes suit the tastes of my family and myself very well. Two of our favourites is his Polla Alla Cacciatore and his Lemon

with the roast even being fussy eater friendly (tested by my extremely fussy brother last Christmas). This roast is very popular, I do it a lot. There's a couple of

My Cholesterol Numbers 2008-09-09 03:03:57 Thought I'd share my cholesterol numbers from my blood test last Friday. I should say that last year I went off LC to do an elimination diet for my daughter though my only fat source during that time was butter, eggs and meat, not even any fish or fish oil (amines). I have been back to Atkins style low carb for the last few months and I am still eating mostly lots of butter but I also add in some Read more:Cholesterol
