Welcome! My name is Adam Kosloff. I’m a Yale University educated blogger, author and science enthusiast.
My writing career has been full of surprises; and I’ve had the pleasure of tackling a diverse assortment of assignments. I’ve optioned movies and written for TV: my credits include The New Woody Woodpecker Show and Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs: The Animated Series.
I’ve also churned out a huge number (~29,000!) of “for hire” web articles and blog posts on every subject on God’s green Earth: aluminum extrusions, dating advice, personal injury law, ping pong tables, you name it. In some sense, I’ve made a career of being able to sound like an expert on any subject.
In 2007, I read a book called Good Calories, Bad Calories, by science journalist Gary Taubes. GCBC inspired me to change my diet and ultimately shift the focus of my career.
I created a website to promote/explain Taubes’ alternative hypothesis about obesity, technically called the “lipophilia hypothesis.” I named this site www.why-low-carb-diets-work.com for search engine optimization reasons. In retrospect, this name was a horrible idea. (Try saying that web address out loud to someone. Don’t forget the dashes!)
On the other hand, WLCDW earned me significant attention from the movers and shakers in the low carb diet community, including Gary Taubes himself.
In 2010, I wrote and self-published my first eBook, The Low Carbers Survival Guide, which features tips and tricks for people on carb restricted diets as well as long interviews with Taubes and strength trainer, Fred Hahn. (You can buy the LCSG here on my blog.)
In the summer of 2011, I had a conversation with my brother, Daniel, who’s a professor of social psychology, about the whole calories vs. carbs debate I’ve been obsessed with. Dan’s insight sparked an epiphany in me. That epiphany inspired this blog, as well as my new free report, Caloriegate, and its companion for-sale eBook, Beyond Caloriegate.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this new model — The Black Box — is destined to change the course of history and end the obesity epidemic.
Am I a crackpot? Yet another blowhard with a blog convinced he’s found “the answer”?
Entirely possible. Odds are in favor, in fact. :]
But here’s the thing… what if I’m not?
