Are you passionate about your low-carb journey? If so and you’re a news junky like us, get in touch about writing for CarbWire. We’re looking to add a few contributers to beef up our coverage. We’re specifically looking for great recipes, who can ever have enough of those?

If you’re interested, get in touch. Please include a little bit about yourself, some contact info (we prefer email!) and a small writing sample. You’d be surprised how much having an outlet like CarbWire can help keep up your motivation and excitement.

PS: If you’ve been in touch about writing for us before, please be sure to write in again. We’ve gone under some editorial changes recently and may not still have your info.

We’re still looking for writers to post daily news and stories. Please get in touch with us!

I am excited about writing for CarbWire. My name is Alan Cohen. I’ve dieted on and off all my life, am familiar with the good moments and frustrating moments, and have been both successful and unsuccessful.

I plan to write about a variety of topics. Two areas of interest for me are eating healthy while on the road and the cultural aspects of food.

I work with people from many cultures. My coworkers eat many fruits, vegetables, grains, and fish. They are quite thin.

It is not my intention to dictate what other people eat, but it is interesting to observe the dietary habits of other cultures. It makes me think about what I eat. Hopefully this will teach me healthier eating habits.

I once learned that the key to being successful is to emulate the behavior of successful people. So, maybe the key to being thin is to follow the eating habits of thin people.

One of the toughest parts of dieting is adapting your new eating habits when you are at an event, on the road, or at work. Notice the strange looks you get when tofu is part of your meal?

What do you do when you are on the road? Keeping food in the car is not always practical. I will share information with you in future posts that will help you eat healthy and maintain your weightloss while you travel.

I enjoy sharing information with others. Please always feel free to share your thoughts and comments with me.

Sincerely,
Alan

It’s time for another forum spotlight. This is where we highlight our favorite threads in the CarbWire forums. If you haven’t signed up yet, take a few minutes and do so now. You’ll get a fun (and free) support network from other dieters like you.

* Goddess asked in the exercise forum if anyone has tried kickboxing
* Filk is the subject of a thread in the Products forum (that’s Fake Milk, not anything bad!)
* Should you cut your intake of Splenda?
* And lastly, we’re looking for four members to review Fry It Right

When we launched the forums last week we ran a contest that four randomly selected members would each get a $25 gift certificate to Amazon.com. The names have been selected and the winners have been announced.

Congratulations to:

* thechef
* janisko
* swede56
* shauna

We’ll be featuring more contests in the upcoming months so if you didn’t win this time, don’t worry. Also, we’re looking for members to contribute review. Read about it here.

After launching discussion forums earlier this week, we’ve had a great response. The fun is just starting so if you haven’t registered, stop by and do so today.

This is the first of a series where we’ll highlight some of the most interesting threads in the forum.

* Some of our readers are runners, and have been discussing the sport in our exercise forum.
* The various struggles associated with dieting are being discussed and there are some really great responses.
* What should low-carb dieters snack on? Well there are lots of possibilities.

There is a real community forming and we’re really excited about it growing. Dieting is so much easier when there is support.

CarbWire is proud to announce the launch of a modern forum system that allows members to discuss everything low-carb. You can sign up for free right now and start a discussion today! We’ve always thought that our readers were the best on the web, so we’re really excited about this new feature. We hope this develops into a place where thousands of low-carb dieters from around the world can meet and share tips.

To help kick things off, we’ll be giving away four $25 Amazon.com gift certificates to randomly selected members that register and post this week. Join today.
