Why Another Low Carb Blog?

I'm a big fan of Low Carb...because it works.

I think that there are a lot of misconceptions about my diet-- which is the 1972 version of Atkins.

It means I have no more than 20 grams of carbohydrate per day. Not Net Carbs, Carbs.

Well, so far since late May of this year I've lost 21 lbs... easily. Things I'll likely do with this blog:

Post some of my original recipes,
Pontificate about the evils of the sugar industry,
Post links to sites and other Bloggers,
List Books and Articles I find helpful,
Talk about the differences between Atkins '72 and Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR)
...And I'll probably talk about day-to-day-Low Carbing, joys, trials and tribulations...

Here's one of my favorite recipes, which I have when I'm feeling nostalgic for Soul Food.

Raven's Southern (Oven) Fried Catfish
Atkins's Induction Friendly (Both '72 and DANDR)

Makes 6 servings.

Ingredients

Catfish, 6 fillets
1 egg
1 large bag of Mission Chiccarones (Pork Rinds)
2 Tablespoons Paprika
1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
1 Teaspoon Lowry's seasoning salt
1 Teaspoon Cumin
2 Teaspoons Granulated Garlic
1/2 Teaspoon Granulated Splenda
1/2 stick of butter

Directions:

Pre-Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Place a 9x12 pyrex baking dish with 1/2 stick of butter in oven.
Beat egg in small bowl, pour into pie plate.

Using a rolling pin, crush chiccarones in the bag, till they form very fine crumbs. Add seasonings. Pour *some* of the breading into a shallow pie plate. Dip each fillet into beaten egg, drain off excess, and then press into breading mixture in the pie plate. Turn the fillet over, and bread the other side. Place onto a plate. Repeat this procedure with all the fillets.

By now, the butter should be melted and sizzling. Place all fillets in baking dish, sprinkle with a handful for crushed pork rinds. Cook for 20 minutes at 400 degrees, then turn fillets, and lower heat to 350. Cook for an additional 15-30 minutes. Remove from oven, place fillets on a plate with paper towels to drain grease. Serve with Mustard, Turnip and Collard Greens, Cauliflower Dirty "rice" Cajun style. (Recipes to follow.)

This recipe should only have a trace of carbs per serving.

The keto diet could cause low circulatory strain, kidney stones, clogging, supplement insufficiencies, and an expanded danger of coronary illness. Exacting eating regimens like keto could likewise cause social detachment or scattered eating. Keto isn't ok for those with any conditions, including their pancreas, liver, thyroid, or gallbladder.
