I’m working on a vegan RX Bar recipe based almost completely on the packaging. I looked up the average protein per egg white (the RX Bar has the equivalent of 3 egg whites) to determine how much pea protein and sprouted brown rice protein to replace it with so that each bar has about 10g…

Slow Carb Diet – Day whatever
I mostly fell off the Slow Carb wagon. I still try to eat pretty much as the diet describes when it’s convenient, which usually amounts to 1 meal per day. Still staying away from most white foods, but a double meat hamburger without fries when I don’t really have time for anything but drive thru…
Slow Carb Diet – Day 10
165.8 lbs / 17.7% bf / 62.8% water I guess this is just my body composition. Not really seeing much change. I feel like I’ve been sticking to the plan pretty well. I could probably be more consistent with the exercises, but still. Breakfast AGG+GB5 2 eggs cabbage and onions wasn’t really hungry, didn’t eat…
Slow Carb Diet – Day 9
164.6 lbs / 17.6% bf / 62.9% water This is the first real positive change I’ve seen. Over a pound since yesterday and .3% body fat. I guess I need to get my kettle bell or build the T-Bar thing. Breakfast 5:30 AGG+BG5 2 eggs 3 oz spinach 1/2 cup lentils 12 oz coffee+coco+van+cin water…
Slow Carb Diet – Day 8
165.8 lbs / 17.9% BF / 62.6% water Still no change in numbers. I feel like my body is changing, but that could just be wishful mirror gazing. It’s only day 2 on PAGG. It probably takes a few days for it to start doing it’s thing. I’m still working my way through the book….
Slow Carb Diet – Day 7
9:00 am – 165.6 lbs / 17.7% BF / 62.8% water lb:13 + rb:13 + c:39 + w:35 + h:36 + lt:20 + rt:20 = 176 total inches Finally took body measurements. Now I can see if that changes since nothing else is. I was surprised to discover that I was a little sore from…
Slow Carb Diet – Day 6
9:15 am – 166.4 lbs / 17.8% bf / 62.7% water Cheat day was fun, but now it’s over and back to standard meals. I don’t feel nearly as bad today as I thought I might. So that’s good. I’m concerned that my stats don’t seem to be changing for the 1st week. Everything is…
Slow Carb Diet – day 5 (CHEAT DAY!!)
9:00 am 166.2 lbs / 17.8% BF / 62.7% water I know this really should be Day 6, but I started on a Tuesday and I want Saturday to be cheat day. I’m probably more excited about cheat day than I should be. Or maybe that’s how it’s supposed to work. Delayed gratification and “reward”…
Dietary Supplements
I just ordered a shitload of supplements from Amazon for my diet. I ordered the recommended stack from The 4 Hour Body (allicin garlic, alpha-lipoic acid, policosanol, and decaf green tea extract) for fat loss to accompany the slow carb diet. I also ordered several supplements for my brain; ginko biloba for brain function and…
Slow Carb Diet – Day 4
