Dana Carpender 1,782

Bridge foods helping you to find a new normal, but not only are they, yes, processed foods often overpriced and sometimes deceptively labeled.

Di Bauer 1,549

I chose lamb for this week's entree because so many people are unfamiliar with it. I think lamb is wonderful and find it very satisfying.

A Day In The Life Of A Teenage Low Carber

Chris Bauer 704

In a cloud of utter boredom, I drag my feet to the school cafeteria. It's chaos, as usual. I blink in a slow, salamander-like motion and head toward my table, resigned.

Sonya Tilley 1,483

If I wrote a book on the details of the diet I grew up with, this would have to be the title. I marvel that I have even lived long enough to embrace the low carb way of life.
