Salad Time!

Salmon and spring mix with vidalia onion salad dressing

I choose an ever so slightly sweet, tangy dressing for the spring mix salad, and it also served as the main seasoning for the fish. It was the perfect dinner. I was very satisfied.

Welcome to Slow Carb Fast!

Here I will be posting recipes and sometimes photos of slow carb food that I made/prepared/ordered fast. Before I had health goals, I was a lazy chef. Now I have health goals, but Im practical. I don't expect my stamina and endurance, on my quest for health, to last if I'm changing the whole game at once. I have to trick my body by making slow gradual changes. Since I didn't cook before, I don't plan to do much cooking now.

I cook my lunches once a week on Sunday and freeze them. They are something that is microwaveable by lunch, or edible cold. Dinners are fast, take less than 15 minutes, and consist of less than 5 main ingredients. Since I have to leave for school so early, I wont talk much about breakfast, since for me its just a protein shake. I do eat breakfast foods for dinner at times. Feel free to mix up your meal time like I do. It keeps dieting interesting.

Why slow carb, you ask?

In all honesty, I saw somebody cool doing it. This guy: http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/ Timothy Ferris. This cool guy is my hero. He does all kinds of awesome stuff, has endless energy, he has got a great bod, and writes awesome books! He sucked me in. I read his book The Four Hour Workweek in 2009 and when I saw The Four Hour Body http://www.fourhourbody.com/, I bought it on the spot. My thought was, “Woah, this guy is good! I wanna hear what he has to say about health!”. What a great decision. I read the whole book in the first 2 days and I still re-read parts of it every week. I had so much energy when I started eating slow carbs that I started trying the polyphasic sleep pattern talked about in the book. I knew I had found my path. Here's what Timothy had to say about slow carbs on his blog: http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2007/04/06/how-to-lose-20-lbs-of-fat-in-30-days-without-doing-any-exercise/

What are slow carbs?

I'm an earnest believer in that there is nothing new in the universe. Someone else has already said it better. In addition to the links above you can check out www.slowcarbfoodie.com as they have a condensed list of slow carb foods at http://www.slowcarbfoodie.com/slow-carb-food-list/ Its worth noting that there are many more veggies on this list, as long as they follow “The Rules” http://www.slowcarbfoodie.com/resources/

Id like to ad, that I really like the forum: http://www.slowcarbrevolution.com It seems to be a nice, currently active support network.
