Exactly 1 year ago I had just come across Kiefer’s Carb Nite and was so inspired that I designed an n=1 experiment and followed it for 10 weeks. When I began the experiment I weighed 185.6 lbs and my abdominal circumference measured 35.5 inches. At the end of the 10 weeks I weighed 184 lbs and my abdominal circumference was 33.75 inches.
A few months later I devoured Kiefer’s Carb Back-Loading 1.0 and again was so inspired that I adopted it for 14 weeks. … Read More
Following my embarrassing and poorly executed Carb Nite / Carb Back-Loading experiment this June and July where I actually ended up fatter at the conclusion of the experiment than when I started, the BJJ Cavewife and I did a little bit of traveling to Germany and Croatia (I’ve been sneaking travel pictures into my Random Reading Posts).
While travel is a great opportunity to see the world, experience different cultures, and broaden horizons… it’s frankly terrible for weight loss. Of course I ended up putting on a few extra pounds at the end of this trip.… Read More
IntroductionI’ve pretty much been too embarrassed to share this until now because of how poorly run this 8 week self-experiment was.

I’m just throwing all the raw data that I collected in a table below, so it may be a little difficult to read through. … Read More
In an effort to stay up to date with all of Kiefer’s prolific work, here is the next series of notes I’ve taken. This is the fourth edition of my Kiefer notes. Again some of these are from his own site, Body.io and some from when he appears as a guest on other podcasts.
For those that don’t know, Kiefer is the author of both The Carb Nite Solution and Carb Back-Loading, both ways of eating that I’ve been playing around with recently. Here is the official link to all of his guest appearances.… Read More
More Carb Nite and Carb Back-Loading Tips Part 3
Again, trying to do my best to stay up to date with all of Kiefer’s prolific work, here is the next series of notes I’ve taken. I’ve noticed that at some points I started doing more actual transcription than note taking, so some of these are longer than they’ve been in the past… let me know what you think and if it’s more helpful when it’s longer or shorter. It’s interesting, with all the interviews and podcasts that he’s done, I feel like we have enough information to write a biography on him if we were so inclined… especially with his recent interviews with Dean Dwyer and Kyle Davies…
Here is my standard Kiefer spiel:

Carb Nite and Carb Back-Loading July 4th Discount
Kiefer’s currently offering some big July 4th discounts on his books. If I’m doing my math correctly, based on his online countdown timer, I believe these prices will only be available until Sunday, July 6th.

Carb Back-Loading – is now being offered for $37, which is 50% off the full price.
When I first picked these up, I paid a total of $74 for the both of them, so this current sale is a pretty good deal, especially if you’re on the fence about trying these out.… Read More
