156.0 -- down 2.6 in 4 days. Much better than the runaway gaining of the past few weeks.

And sleep is better than the 1-4 hours I was getting. Last night was 6 hours, even had an 7.5-hour night -- amazing. I think the higher carbs is definitely helping improve serotonin production and improving the effectiveness of my thyroid replacement protocol.

With 3 days left of this cycle I'm keeping the extra carbs to "real" food -- veggies, including sweet potatoes, squash, brown rice, and fruits. I'm including some low-fat dairy protein (yogurt and cottage cheese), along with whey protein shakes. This should make it a smooth transition easing back into LC.
