Eat It Again! How Repetition Rewires Your Taste – CarbSmart Podcast Episode 27

Dana Carpender 1,967

Every taste is an acquired taste. If you’ve just recently gone low-carb, say as a New Year’s resolution, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer difference from your old diet. I encourage you to do so rather than using low-carb breads and such to make your low-carb diet resemble your old diet. Those can be useful. Bridge foods helping you to find a new normal, but not only are they, yes, processed foods often overpriced and sometimes deceptively labeled.

Low-Carb Green Eggs and Ham Recipe - In Oven

Low-Carb Cooking 101 – A Brief Introduction

Almost anyone can eat only plain baked and broiled meats, cooked low-carbohydrate vegetables, and salad greens for two or three weeks, but almost no one can eat only those things for long periods of time without becoming bored and giving up. If we are to be successful at making low carbohydrate eating a lifestyle change rather than a quick fix diet, we need to change how we cook.

Low-Carb Lesson #06: Oven Roasted Chicken & Peppers

Di Bauer 1,622

For this week’s Low Carb Lesson we have Chicken & Peppers. Pay particular attention to the construction of the salad. Yes, the salad would taste just the same if you simply whacked up the tomatoes and dumped them on the salad greens, but slicing and arranging them the way the recipe indicates will take you no more than an extra minute or two and will make a big difference in how the salad looks. Take the time to do it.

Excess Protein Turns Into Carbohydrates In The Body

Dr. Beth Gruber 1,688

Excess protein is transformed into glucose in the liver in a process called gluconeogenesis. The glucose turns into glycogen by the liver. Article 9 of the Science of Low-Carb & Keto Diets series. The CHO portion of the protein is transformed into glucose in the liver in a process called gluconeogenesis (gluco-NEO-genesis; gluco=sugar; neo=new; genesis=creation). The glucose is then available to be transformed into glycogen by the liver, just like the glucose from "regular" carbohydrates.

Low Carb Mousse Recipes from Down Under

Tony Blakemore 1,442

A lot of newcomers to the low carbohydrate lifestyle think that desserts are a thing of the past. Not so! It is only during the induction phase of the Atkins diet that desserts other than Jell-O are not allowed. And while even low carb desserts should be viewed as an occasional "treat" and not a daily indulgence during ongoing weight loss phase, low carb mousse and low carb cheesecake can be a part of many people's low carbohydrate eating plan. The Low Carb Mousse Recipe includes a Low Carb Chocolate Mousse Recipe.

Scientists Find Protein That Turns Carbs Into Fat

Andrew DiMino 708

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Researchers have identified a small protein in liver cells that may help convert excess dietary carbohydrates into fat stores. They hope that the finding will lead to the development of obesity-fighting drugs that inhibit the actions of this protein.

Protein Digestion and Protein Absorption

Dr. Beth Gruber 2,068

Protein Digestion and Protein Absorption. Article 8 of the Science of Low-Carb & Keto Diets series. The protein parts of every cell in the body are being destroyed continually. As a result, our bodies need to replace these protein structures constantly. This requires that we eat protein every day. Fortunately, those of us who follow a low carbohydrate lifestyle, don't have any problems getting enough needed protein.

Julie Westly 1,113

Jamie C. is 42 years old, and had been overweight her entire life. She grew up in a family of thin people. The only exception of her mother, who had also been heavy her whole life. Her sister was five years older than Jamie, and although she was thin, Jamie didn't remember her being mean or saying bad things to her about her weight.

Low-Carb Lesson #05: Grilled Strip Steaks, Green Beans & Strawberries

Di Bauer 1,765

The grilled strip steaks will be juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The smoky aroma and the charred crust of the meat from the grill give it a delightful texture that will make your mouth water. The green beans will be crisp and refreshing, with a slight crunch and bright green color that will balance the meat's richness. The dish's sweetness will come from the strawberries, which are juicy, plump, and bursting with flavor. The combination of the savory steak and the fresh green beans with the sweet and tangy strawberries will create a perfectly balanced and delicious meal that will satisfy your taste buds and keep you satisfied for hours.

Di Bauer 1,617

Garlic and Lemon Chicken Breasts are nicely seasoned, and will wake up your take buds without blowing them out of your mouth. And with this meal plan you prepare an entire 4-pound bag at one time, so there’s plenty for leftovers. You can eat the leftover chicken breasts either hot or cold, and I’ve also included several recipes that you can use them in, too. If you are serving the chicken breasts as your entree, I suggest steaming a vegetable to go with it. You can top your veggies with a pat of butter if you like.
