| 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. Also, if your worried about the calories you could simply cut it into more portions or do what I do and have it as a meal rather then a snack. I found it made a yummy breakfast!One of the ladies uses this recipe for muffins so you could try that too. We have a thread for it here: Low Carb Buttery Almond & Coconut CakeLow Carb Buttery Almond & Coconut Cake180g Blanched Almonds, ground (6.3 ounces)1 cup of splenda or equivalent2/3 cup of dessicated coconut/finely shredded coconut (I was a bit heavy handed and probably used around 3/4 cup)2 TBL Flaked Almonds (2 American tablespoons and | | By: Pinch of... | | |
| | 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 check that thread for the many variations, it is long but worth the read. Also, you're more then welcome to pop into our thread I made as well: Low Carb Cream Cheese Muffins (Cheesecakes)Anyway here's the metric version:Low Carb, Cream Cheese Muffins500g cream cheese1/2 cup splenda2 large eggs1/2 tsp vanillaCinnamon for dustingPreheat oven to 180CSoften cream cheese, add eggs, splenda and vanilla and beat until smooth.

| | Low Carb Easy Eggs | | 2008-07-01 17:52:46 | | 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 taking a photo whilst they were all puffed up but Maya had other ideas...Anyway this is how I do mine, you could add other ingredients to it like a slice of tomato or mushroom. You could also line the ramekin with nitrate free bacon or ham, I used to make a similar dish, Ham and Egg thingos but I like these better.Easy Eggs2 Large eggsCheddar cheeseParmesan Cheese (the powdered kind)Dollop of pure creamsalt and pepperbutter for greasingPreheat oven to 180C which is about 350 FGrease a ramekin with a little butter, crack an egg into it and season with a little salt and pepper.

| 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 rich despite all the 85% lindt chocolate, yet very satisfying!But be warned, it is calorie dense and it is not ultra low carb, so do what I do and make it a meal such as breakfast, or save it for a treat. I cut mine into 12 slices, you could cut yours into 16 if you want, I have worked out the counts for both. The original cake is said to store in the fridge for 2 weeks. Do not eat this straight out of the fridge, always bring your peice down to room temperature first, I like to bring mine down to room temp then quickly put it in the oven just long enough to make the ganache all goey (shown in | | By: Pinch of... | | |
| | La NASA advierte sobre las Plantas de Generación Eléctrica a Carbón | | 2008-06-12 15:58:00 | | Las leyes que fijan objetivos para la emisión con efectos invernadero son "inútiles" mientras Estados Unidos continúe construyendo centrales eléctricas que funcionan con carbón, dijo Hansen, Director de Estudios Espaciales de la NASA.Los niveles de dióxido de carbono en la atmósfera son ya demasiado altos, dijo Hansen en la Universidad de Washington. La polución de las nuevas plantas de carbón hará casi imposible evitas los peores efectos del cambio climático como sequías.Hansen, que en 1981 advirtió que el calentamiento global por las emisiones estaba subiendo la temperatura del planeta más rápido de los esperado, dijo que un catastrófico cambio climático podría evitarse con políticas conservacionistas y el uso de Energías Renovables.Los planes de descontaminación, del senado de los Estados Unidos en Junio del 2007, no lograrán desacelerar el calentamiento global a menos que se prohíban las centrales que consumen carbón.Fuente: ECOAMERICA | | By: 50 Grados | | |
| | Weight Loss Through Low Carb Diet | | 2008-05-31 21:27:02 | | By Roy ChanAre you or your family members amongst the 65%?To help with weight issues and for overall improved health, many people turn to diets. In fact, government statistics show that while about 65 percent of Americans are overweight, 38 percent are actually doing something about it.And according to a recent survey by the National Health Institute, about a third of overweight Americans who are trying to lose weight, are doing so by eating less carbohydrates (carbs) largely because of the increased popularity of fad diets like Atkins Diet and the South Beach Diet.Although there have certainly been other low-carb or low-sugar diet plans before, and more will most assuredly come out in the years ahead, let’s take a look at the basics behind many of the major plans. And let’s take a look at how they fit into the real world today. Because while it might be great to lower the body’s sugar content and be healthier, wouldn’t it be great to learn how to do so while being part of this | | By: tips n trick diets success | | |

A dietary expert was actually telling you to eat asmuch meat, eggs, and cheese as you possibly wanted. You could goto any restaurant, order the biggest slab of beef on the menuand—since you weren't eating bread or potatoes with meat—youcould still claim you were watching your waistline when offereddessert. But, now that the low carb honeymoon is over, you mightbe finding that the thought of another pork chop, omelet, or hunkof cheese makes you sick to your stomach. If you fit thisdescription, there is a way to keep your carbs low, but yourspirits high.

| | 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!These are yum so I thought I'd share, these are a low carb version of a Jamie Oliver recipe. Strangely enough, I find these very satisfying. I have another variation that I did the first time which is more chocolaty which you can find in my low carb brownie thread plus another member has posted another recipe which looks good but I haven't tried yet.Now I will tell you straight off, that my taste buds are well adjusted to low carb, so depending on where you are at, you may find you need a little more splenda. I am thinking these would be even better with a sugar alcohol like erythritol or xylitol for that sugary type mouth feel.Oh I should say that the picture is from my first batch and this is my second batch but they look exactly the same :)L | | By: Pinch of... | | |

| | You Can Easily Use Low Carb Diets to Boost Your Metabolism | | 2008-05-14 20:11:31 | | The low carb diet craze that is going on right now is an industry that is gaining momentum and demand every day and is showing no signs of slowing down. This is an amazing accomplishment for Dr. Atkins, whose book was immediately labeled potentially dangerous when it first hit the shelves years ago and again after he died. Now, every individual who considers himself overweight, and some others are hitting the supermarkets looking for the best high protein and low diet foods that they can find.The impact of low carb diets can be felt in just about every industry.The thousands of success stories has people going to the gym at a record rate. They know that the Atkins and the South Beach Diet will help them lose weight, but they want to keep that weight off for as long as possible and so they automatically begin to get more active as well.The major players in the grocery industry are now making even more space on their shelves in order to accommodate the low carb foods.

| | Carb Cycling:The Smart Alternative To Low Carb Diets | | 2008-05-09 18:16:44 | | As a sports medicine nutritionist, I am concerned about the lack of awareness and confusion people have over the best way to lose weight. In the 1990’s, we were erroneously told that all fat was bad for us. Now, carbs are being blamed for America’s increasing waistline. Even some athletes have fallen into the low-carb trap. I urge you not to make this same mistake. If you want to lose weight, build muscle, have tons of energy, and even improve your skin and sex drive – you need to eat carbs. It’s true – carbs are good for you! You just need to know when and how to eat them.First, let’s dispel some myths about low carb diets like the Atkins diet. It is estimated that nearly 60 million Americans have tried to avoid carbohydrate-rich foods, such as bread, pasta and cereal. Even Burger King is cashing in on this trend by selling a bunless burger! Still, the average person’s weight in this country continues to increase.What is going wrong?

| | Carb Intake, Obesity Tied to Rise in Esophageal Cancers | | 2008-05-02 20:42:35 | | (HealthDay News) -- There may be a link between rising rates of carbohydrate intake and obesity and the increasing number of esophageal cancer cases in the United States, a new study says.Researchers noted that cases of esophageal cancer increased from 300,000 in 1973 to 2.1 million in 2001, which closely mirrors increases in carbohydrate intake and obesity over the same time.Obesity is a major risk factor for many types of cancer, and a diet high in calories from refined carbohydrates is a common contributor to obesity, the researchers noted. They also said no other studied nutrients were found to correlate with esophageal cancer rates."If we can reverse the trends in refined carbohydrate intake and obesity in the U.S., we may be able to reduce the incidence of esophageal cancer," study senior author Dr. Li Li, an assistant professor in the department of family medicine and the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at Case Western Reserve University/University Hospitals Health System, said | | By: General Detoxification & Cleansing Blog | | |

| | Silver lining: CARB creates huge new market for plug-in hybrids | | 2008-03-31 16:43:48 | | Reader reaction to last week's California Air Resources Board vote to cut the ZEV Mandate by 70 percent was pretty resoundingly negative (although it's only fair to note some of you said the result was a good thing). Automotive News' Richard Truett has written an article that finds the decision's silver lining: it created a "sizable" market for plug-in hybrids. While pure EVs took a hit in the revision, automakers are now required to sell 66,000 PHEVs between 2012 and 2014. Considering you can't buy a single one today, this would be a nice change. Truett notes that Chrysler, Honda and Nissan could be face "major headaches" to comply with the rule, since they don't have any PHEVs in development. At least, there are no public plans for such vehicles from these companies. Smart grid PHEV charging technology is here, at least in testing form. What plug-in vehicles will we Californians (and people in the dozen or so states that adopt California's auto rules) be able to buy in 2012?[Source: | | By: Auto News: Car Reviews, Car News, Car Shows | | |

| | High-fat, high-carb meals more harmful to obese | | 2007-12-30 11:24:05 | |
Eating a high-fat, high-carb fast food meal produces damaging cellular changes that are greater and longer-lasting in obese people than in normal-weight people, a new study shows.
Dr. Paresh Dandona and colleagues from Kaleida Health in Buffalo, New York looked at inflammation and oxidative stress, which occurs when levels of normal byproducts of metabolism known as free radicals exceed the body's ability to neutralize them.
In previous research they found that obese individuals have higher levels of oxidative stress and inflammation than normal-weight individuals. They also demonstrated that eating a high-fat, high-carb meal increased oxidative stress and inflammation in normal-weight people.

| | Is Kimkins okay because its simply low carb? | | 2007-12-04 21:41:42 | | I keep seeing Jimmy and some others play the "low carb" card in regards to Kimkins which really annoys me. So what if its low carb, low carb isn't perfect as like any other diet, it can be abused. I knew a girl who lost a lot of weight on the lettuce diet, should I advocate that too? after all, lettuce is low carb, right?We actually had a girl join our low carb forum briefly once, she was pro-ana and said that low carb made it easier... You could imagine the shock when one of the ladies decided to find out what pro ana meant and let me know.Heck, even Atkins can be a problem for some, because sometimes people don't snap out of that low fat mentality they were in previously - powered with the satiating effects of ketosis end up eating similar to kimkins and wind up stalled and rebounding.But the difference between Atkins and plans like it and Kimkins, is Atkins doesn't encourage abuse of his plan, rather he assumes you will eat enough fat and in fact warns not to do his plan and low | | By: Pinch of... | | |

Un carbón que hasta ahora hemos tenido que repartir de manera más abundante hacia otros lugares, pero ahora lo necesita la propia Cataluña para seguir haciendo de motor de España y haciendo solidaridad', ha declarado Miguel Iceta, portavoz del Partido Socialista de Cataluña en una entrevista en TV3. Según él, 'esta batalla, que aún no la tenemos ganada, la hemos empezado a ganar precisamente con el gobierno de José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero'. Además, el dirigente socialista ha remarcado que Cataluña atraviesa 'un momento dulce' en cuanto a inversión.Por otra parte, Iceta ha explicado que el gobierno de la Generalitat quiere llevar a cabo una auditoría antes de que se produzca el traspaso del servicio de 'Cercanías', y ha subrayado que la prioridad del Ejecutivo catalán es restablecer 'Cercanías y mejorar esta red' antes que la llegada del AVE.

| | A Low-carb Diet May Stunt Prostate Tumor Growth | | 2007-11-14 16:06:57 | | Hey, I just came across this today in Science Daily. We all know how beneficial low carbohydrate diets are for various cancers and there are more and more studies out there that show this. Now, another on prostate cancer, but be warned - it is a mice study. This will lead to a human one and hopefully more recognition for low carb diets.In the study they compared tumour growth in mice fed a low carb diet, a low fat diet and a western diet that is high in both fat and carbohydrates. The low fat diet had a shorter survival time and large tumour but western diet faired the worst with the shortest survival time and biggest tumour out of all three. Naturally the low carb diet faired the best with the longest survival and smallest tumours but as well as that not only did they share lower insulin levels like the low fat group they also had lower levels of the form of IGF, which is capable of stimulating tumor growth.I liked this quote:"This study showed that cutting carbohydrates may slow tumor growth, at least in mice," said Stephen Freedland, M.D., a urologist at Duke University Medical Center and lead researcher on the study. "If this is ultimately confirmed in human clinical trials, it has huge implications for prostate cancer therapy through something that all of us can control, our diets." :) | | By: Pinch of... | | |

| | Carbophobia - More Low Carb Nonsense | | 2007-10-10 04:51:00 | | I saw this article in the NY Times today about a new book, which surprisingly enough is plugging the new "low carb renaissance" as one of my peers called it a little while ago. Please do read it until the end before making any judgements. I have highlighted in red what I consider the crucial facts to bear in mind before leaping onto this latest bandwagon as so many will without doubt do.... (....sigh!)I have reproduced the article in full and also linked to the original site here NY TimesCarbophobia By GINA KOLATA Published: October 7, 2007 Gary Taubes is a brave and bold science journalist who does not accept conventional wisdom. In “Good Calories, Bad Calories,” he says what he wants is a fair hearing and rigorous testing for ideas that might seem shocking. GOOD CALORIES, BAD CALORIES - Challenging the Conventional Wisdom on Diet, Weight Control, and Disease. By Gary Taubes. 601 pp. Alfred A. Knopf. $27.95. His thesis, first introduced in a much-debated article in The New York Times Magazine in 2002 challenging the low-fat diet orthodoxy, is that nutrition and public health research and policy have been driven by poor science and a sort of pigheaded insistence on failed hypotheses. As a result, people are confused and misinformed about the relationship between what they eat and their risk of growing fat. He expands that thesis in the new book, arguing that the same confused reasoning and poor science has led to misconceptions about the relation between diet and heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, dementia, diabetes and, again, obesity. When it comes to determining the ideal diet, he says, we have to “confront the strong possibility that much of what we’ve come to believe is wrong.” The best diet, he argues, is one loaded with protein and fat but very low in carbohydrates.Taubes spent five years working on the book, which runs to more than 450 pages.

The studies listed on the Dietrine site, which claim that the product is the best, are not quite scientifically strict enough for me. If this works so well why is this website selling lots of other diet pills, including the infamous hoddia, too?I do believe that this won't hurt you in the way that some supplements will, but I'm not so quick to believe huge weight loss claims. I still think th ebest way to lose is to limit intake of high fat and sugar foods, eat tons of fiber and produce, and exercise.a sponsored postTags: Blogsvertise, carb blocker, dietrine, reiki, pilates, lynda lippin, caribbean, turks, caicos, turks and caicos, providenciales, energy, healing, fitness, exercise

| | Why A Low Carb Diet Is A Different Weight Loss Experience | | 2007-06-01 21:39:00 | | If you are no stranger to the diet world, you are probably wondering what the difference is between the low calorie diets and the low carb diets. Scientists doing high protein low carb diet research have found that there is a dramatic difference in the way our bodies respond to the two basic types of dieting.The low carbohydrate diets have one obvious difference - they are much lower in starches and sugars. But that is not the important difference in this case. It's how our metabolism and bodily functions react to the change in food intake.It's a "Need" Versus "Want" DilemmaIn the more traditional approach to weight loss programs, the main emphasis is placed on the amount of food ingested and the number of calories consumed. A major difference with the low carb diets is the focus tends to be not on how much you eat, but rather how much you want to eat. BIG difference here. It's a matter of limiting the supply of food to the body versus altering the body's demand for food.Our bodies | | By: Healthy Diets | | |
| | Low-carb diets have higher death rates | | 2007-05-31 22:31:06 | | I was just reading this article from New Zealand, this post isn't about the topic per se, so if your concerned, Regina covered it nicely here.What this post is about however is a couple of quotes in the article that were so moronic they made me laugh so I thought I'd share :)Heres the first one which I think is a real gem:Dietetic Association president Jan Milne said people who cut carbohydrates out of their diets missed out on an important source of nutrients, including B vitamins and iron."If a parent goes on a low-carb diet, the rest of the family sometimes ends up on it by default,"she said."This is particularly dangerous for children, who typically get a lot of their iron from bread." Now I am sure I do not need to explain the stupidity of that comment, I mean if anything it is the other way around...Heres another, just as stupid:Mrs Milne said many foods marketed as "low carb" or "low fat" actually contained large amounts of sugar, which was "incredibly dishonest".Low fat, YES... but low carb products containing large amounts of sugar *laugh* | | By: Pinch of... | | |

Insulin is a fat storing hormone shuttling excess carbohydrates and other calories straight to our fats cells. This is what makes us put on weight and what prevents us from losing it.They then forward this theory on to two other doctors, one a low fat vegan and the other a low carb diabetic.First reply is from the low fat vegan who also happens to be president of PCRM, Dr Neal D.

He then, goes on to say that when these people drop their rice based diets in favour of meatier western diets, that somehow their carbohydrate intakes fall (yes y | | By: Pinch of... | | |
| | How About A Million Pound Low-Carb March? | | 2007-04-02 00:47:00 | | With the success of my blog has come a flood of e-mails from all kinds of people passing on blog post ideas that they think would interest me. I have to be honest with you and let you know that most of these go right into File 13. Sure, I’ll hang on to them for a while and consider whether they need to become a blog post or not. But most of the time, they become trash.
However, I have to admit one of my readers who wishes to remain anonymous had the most creative idea regarding livin’ la vida low-carb that I’ve seen in a very long time and I felt it was more than worthy of your attention. By that person’s permission, I present to you a brief of the concept he describes as the “Million Pound March.” I have added “low-carb” to that idea so that people will understand what we are marching about.
Here’s the brief for the “Million Pound Low-Carb March”:

First, take one packet of Big Train drink mix, any flavor of the "ice" ones will do. (Drink mix available here. I recommend this product!) The packet calls for a 1/2 cup of Half n' Half. Substitute in Whipping Cream. This gives it it's thickness. Then make it the way the package recommends - a 1/2 cup water | | By: Carbohydrate Addict | | |
