As most of you know, I live a paleo-keto lifestyle most of the time, and have for over twenty years. Right now I am playing with a variation that involves cyclic green fasting – 3 to 4 days of eating just greens followed by 3 to 4 days of high protein and a touch of carbs […]
Thanksgiving is almost here. This year we are going over to my cousin’s house for the big family get together. Ellen and I like to come up with unusual and unique foods to bring to these affairs as they are pot luck with the hosts providing the turkey. I will probably bring several things like […]
This topic was suggested to me by one of my patients as a good subject with which to start the holiday season. With the onslaught of costumed sugar addicts at my door the other night, I would say the holidays are officially in full swing. Somehow the season of good cheer also is the season […]
As most of you know I am pretty dedicated to my keto lifestyle. I have been in nutritional ketosis for over ten years now. Every now and then I will take a week off to re-stimulate my system’s production of insulin. When you don’t eat carbs, you don’t use your insulin much. But you need […]
Years ago I heard about making “rice” out of cauliflower. My first thought was why? Why would I want to make rice out of cauliflower when I could make rice out of rice?

We begin life as a […]
I made a mistake the other day. I wanted to make a loaf of my Miracle Bread so I could make sandwiches. I dumped the ingredients into my mixing bowl then added the water to mix into the dough. I didn’t have the instructions, but figured I knew how much water to put in since […]
Do you like to crunch? I know for Ellen, it isn’t a full meal unless there is something crunchy with the meal. I am not talking about celery. Yes, it is crunchy and crunch lovers trying to be healthy try really hard to convince themselves that celery is meeting their crunch need. But deep down […]
The New Year is upon us. 2015 was a year full of new research and information in the field of nutrition and weight loss, all of which can benefit those of us who may possibly have put on a few pounds over the holidays. Since today is probably the start of many New Year’s resolutions […]
Last newsletter I wrote about taking out the trash. The trash I was talking about was the metabolic toxic waste our body is constantly producing just by being alive. Some of these wastes are so toxic that if our release of them is delayed even a few minutes, we will die. In this case I […]
