Local farmers, local food
My first box of produce from Glacier Valley Farm CSA is cause to celebrate — not just good food, but also the connection that comes from supporting local farmers. Thank you, farmers of Mat-Su.

On the fat loss track again
Been awhile since I’ve posted on the Teverys (health) blog (or, now that I’ve imported all my blogs to my new website, the Terveys category).
This one’s a quickie, just to say that I’m back on the fat loss track again.
Between February 18, 2008 & last August whensoever, I lost about 40 lbs. (If you want [...]
Weight loss chart 18 Feb – 12 Aug 2008
Here it is all in one pretty little chart: my weight loss since February 18 this year (41 pounds scale weight to date). The color swatches mark off the diet regimes I was following during each period. Lotsa jaggies during the TKD & PSMF periods: that’s due to water weight fluctuations from carbs consumed during [...]

A reasoned statement about carbohydrates
John Berardi's rule for the carb content in a "gourmet" nutrition meal is simple: "[the meal] must offer you carbs only if you 'deserve' them." And you only deserve higher carb meals only when you've exercised.
Adequate protein — & a protein-sparing crash diet
Two additional things I’ve learned from Lyle McDonald & his Body Recomposition website so far, that are having a pretty immediate effect on my nutritional planning:
First, he’s convinced me that “dieting by percentages” — that is, figuring out my nutrition based on macronutrient percentages — doesn’t really make a whole lotta sense (see “Dieting by [...]

From moderate-carb to low-carb
Being who I am, I have continually been mucking over the past few months with my nutrition. In this context, “being who I am” means that I can go geek with just about anything that interests me. So, when I was pursuing my master’s degree (Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, earned Dec. 1997), [...]
