I’ve been working on a new Protein Power site with a whole new level of functionality for this blog. I keep thinking it is going to be finished any day, and I keep getting held off for one reason or another. Since I keep thinking it’s going to be finished, I’ve held off posting anything…
I got a question passed through from our customer service gathering point the other day from a reader, who had run across a post on the Empowered Sustenance blog by Lauren Geertsen called 5 Reasons to Avoid Almond Flour and had some concerns. Our reader wrote: Just bought your book “The Low Carb Comfort Food Cookbook”…
It is difficult for me to believe, but Protein Power is coming up on being 20 years old. It was written in 1995 and published in January of 1996. There has been some talk between our agent and the publisher about a 20 year anniversary edition of the book. MD and I have decided…
This review of The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz is the most difficult and demanding I have ever written. It is demanding for a couple of reasons. First, it is psychologically demanding on me because I want to write a review so good it inspires everyone to buy the book immediately and read…

Watch this incredible ChefSteps video and learn to make Chicken Noodle Soup. No, not the carby wheat, rice, corn pasta kind of noodles… chicken noodles. Yum!
I am ever on the look out for ways to enjoy the things I love in a lower carb way without giving up on flavor or feel. Thus, my delight when Mike’s sister introduced me to shirataki pasta. I honestly love pasta, although I have long eschewed it except for rare indulgences, because of the…
I read a lot. I read books on all sorts of subjects: nutrition, science, physics, history, evolutionary psychology, anthropology, paleoarcheology, biography, business and others. I read mystery novels for fun. And I throw in a contemporary (non mystery) novel here and there as the mood strikes me. Although I’m a political junkie, I don’t read…
