Yo, what's happenin', people? This is Low Carb Cory. I'm a health/wellness/fitness coach from Central Wisconsin. I love to watch basketball and football (go Packers!), play basketball, swim and hit the beach in the summer, weight-train 3 to 4 days a week and write, produce and record my own music. I am on a mission to get RIPPED - to get my bodyfat down to about 8% and get that lean, Hollywood'ish, leading man look that makes women go crazy and makes other men seethe with envy.

I started weight-training heavily in March of 2009 at what I now consider to have been quite a fat (20-24% bodyfat) 170 lbs. I had been taking the conventional advice that the health and fitness community gave me (eat 6 small meals a day, get multiple servings of grains, eat fruit, do cardio at the gym and work out 5-6 days a week) and you know what happened? I GOT FATTER. My ego wanted me to believe that I was putting on muscle, but I got a wake-up call when, after growing to 197 lbs (and although being stronger than ever), my belt, which I'd always comfortably worn on the second loop, started getting snug and chafing me on the FIRST LOOP. I was overweight, burned out, sore and tired as a dog. I decided right then and there that I was going to do something about this.

I went online and spent countless hours researching and reading opinions, advice columns, weight/fat loss forums and medical research papers...and you know what I found out my problem was? I was eating too many damn carbohydrates, drinking too many damn caffeine and working myself too damn hard. So what turned out to be something I thought was a waste-of-time "fad diet", LOW CARB EATING, actually turned out to be the answer to all of my problems. Dr. Robert Atkins was on to something.

Between the end of September, 2011 and the end of November, 2011, I lost 31 lbs, all the way down to my high school weight (165 lbs), using a combination of an Atkins-Diet-style "induction phase" (20g of net carbs a day, no more) and a 6-day water fast (drank nothing but water for 6 days, no food), followed by an Atkins-Diet-style maintenance eating plan that contained less than 40g of net carbs and intermittent fasting (only eating during a 2-4 hour window on any given day, usually after work, between 6:30 and 10:30 PM).

I have had so much success with my fat loss weight management that I have decided to share my wisdom, knowledge and experience with you! I love to research and learn new things in my spare time constantly, so I will be giving you great information on healthy eating, fitness, general wellness, supplements, workout tips and a number of other topics as often as possible! I want you guys to be the best you can be, because we all wish we could make the world a better place, and I truly believe that I have the power to do that by helping you get more fit, healthier and in the best shape of your life. I can't wait to help you reach your fitness, wellness and health goals!

Which kind of oil would you recommend for frying chicken in the healthiest way possible?

[lowcarbcory]

@Jook2rib Coconut Oil or Palm Oil. Those are the only two.

[josethebird]

I was going to get some of this at Trader Joe's, and it was sold out.  Guess I'm late to the trend...

[lowcarbcory]

@josethebird Better late than never! Coconut oil rocks in so many ways!

[Locus428]

Where do you stand on sunflower seeds (Salted)?

[lowcarbcory]

@Locus428 I love sunflower seeds, as long as they're not roasted in all kinds of processed oils...especially cottonseed, which isn't even food!

[LCHFinCanada]

@lowcarbcory original rapeseed, yes.

Most of today's canola (rapeseed) is GMO (genetically-modified organisms) to reduce the erucic acid (toxic substance) as well as to be "roundup-ready"... So they can, technically, cold-press that stuff and you could consume it.

That being said, the main reason I don't use any canola oil is neither would be healthy. The non-GMO would be toxic, and the GMO is ... well ... GMO and sprayed with roundup.

Either way, Canola just ain't healthy.

[BobbyDigMOB]

I was staring at coconut oil in Walmart today like. I should buy this stuff. I love coconut

[lowcarbcory]

@LCHFinCanada I disagree. All canola is processed because you can't get oil from rapeseeds w/o processing. There is actually a chemical in rapeseeds that is toxic to humans, and the only way to get it out is to process the oil.

@bmcollins3 Amen to this!

I swear coconut oil should be labeled as a miracle food. I take anywhere about 3-4 tablespoons a day ( spread out through the day). I started taking it 2 weeks ago and already ive noticed energy gains through out the day, im less hungry, and its great for a pre workout drink with warm water and chocolate protein powder, i swear its like hot chocolate. Natures Way Organic and Nutiva Organic coconut oils are the best imo, however i favor the Natures way Organic more due to taste preference.
