I tried Alton Brown's popcorn recipe, which is basically taking popcorn
kernels and putting them in a paper bag closed with two staples, and
then
microwaving until about 5 seconds separate pops. It worked perfectly
fine, and then I added popcorn salt and butter to the popcorn. Way
better
than store-bought, partially hydrogenated coated popcorn. The only
problem
is that AB's recipe starts with 1/3 cup of kernels. This is a large
bowl
of popcorn and way high on the carb content. I don't see why you can't
halve the recipe.

Do the same thing with pork rinds. Popcorn is not a good LC choice at
all. Why bother when there are so many other things to eat?


Low carb does not equal no carb. How many grams of carbs do you eat a
day? Yesterday, I biked 69 miles over hilly terrain. According to my HR
monitor, it took me 5 hours and 17 minutes at an AVERAGE heart rate of 147
bpm (80% of my max HR of about 183, and there are about 5-10 minutes of
zeros averaged in there when I was traipsing through the woods to pee),
and I burnt 4,900 calories. There's about 4,000 feet of climbing.
Tomorrow, I'll lift weights, doing about 1.25 hours of a hard, whole-body
workout with very little rest between sets. Tuesday, I'll bike 20 miles.
Thursday, I'll bike 18 miles. Friday, I'll do another weightlifting
session. Saturday, I plan to bike 73-75 miles over the same terrain
(although the road climbs some more).

I don't think a few extra grams of carbs are going to hurt me.

Also, I think pork rinds are nasty. The only way I like them is if
they're heavily flavored, and then they're impossible to find around here
-- only certain stores carry them.
