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

Dana Carpender 1,810

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.

Delicata Squash – A Treat for Fall and Winter Meals

Vanessa Romero 1,140

Delicata squash. Have you seen these beauties at your local farmers market or food co-op? In my younger years, I remember trying acorn squash smothered in brown sugar and butter and not liking it. That distaste stayed with me into my adulthood; I assumed squash was squash and that it all tasted the same. Then about five years ago, after admiring how beautiful and colorful the winter squash varieties were, I decided to give squash another try. I did some reading on the different varieties of squash and picked up some delicata. If you haven’t given this winter squash variety a try, what are you waiting for?

Dana’s Carpender’s Low Carb Anniversary – The 33% Report

Dana Carpender 774

I dropped the carbs from my diet the day after Labor Day 1995. I would have started a few days earlier, but I invited a bunch of people over for a Labor Day cookout, and already started making the food. So I consider the Tuesday after Labor Day my LowCarbiversary. It's been 18 years I've been eating this way, and since I'm 54 – 55 in October – that means I've been low carb for exactly one third of my life - that's 33%.
