Talking - Week4 Day7 Monday 17th

- Regular Lc (Somersizing) * Lcpv1.2
--------------------------------
MORNING:
4 ounces yogurt with fruit, nonfat, artificial swee
4 fluid ounces Spice Pudding Base
BEVERAGES:
4 coffee, half decaf homesize cup w cream
6 coffee, homesize cup 8 fl oz -- black
1 coffee, homesize cup w cream
2 1/2 liters water
MIDDAY:
200 grams roast, trimmed
200 grams broccoli florets
1 cup Wine and Mushroom Sauce
SNACKS:
84 grams cheddar cheese
2 ounces hazelnuts
2 ounces almonds, dried
175 grams yogurt with fruit, nonfat, artificial swee
1 ounce Pork Rinds, Regular Pork Puffs 90g bag
3 tablespoons Dip, Western Fam, Garlic
SUPPER:
300 grams spinach, frozen -- steamed
225 grams mushrooms -- braised
3 tablespoons butter
pinch mace
200 grams pork country-style ribs


Calories: 2800 Oyks!
Protein: 159g 22%
Fat: 204g 64%
Carbs: 105/34=71g 14.6% holy moly! (note: 8.4 g carb from lotso coffee so % slightly skewed...)

Weight: 1st thing, AM 182.5 ... Calories/Pound = 15.3 Ouch
Activity: usual office stuff, more than when I'm at home strangely, between printer runs and moving the car bi-hourly.
Thoughts: Last draggy end of a relentlessly long TOM, and much more veg in the last few days, both of which seem to be affecting this relentless hunger today! I have noticed that when I have lots of veg (like broccoli), I soon get that almost-griping hunger-like sensation, suspect it's the fiber (funny, used to get it after Asian food, except Sushi). Might there be a fine line somewhere between the Atkins controlled veg amount and the "standard" that all veg is good for ya? Hmmmmmm. Two culprits for me, possibly: cottage cheese and green veg (go figure). Maybe this Somersizing is not for me after all. Will be thinking on this.

Last thought? Final "official" weigh-in tomorrow morning, a.k.a. "the morning after"

Exclamation some stats

AVERAGES over the 4 weeks of the Study Period:
kCals = 1915
Pro g = 133.4 or 27.9%
Fat g = 133.4 or 62.8% (yes, really, odd isn't it?)
Carb g = 44.1, Fiber g = 8.7, t.f. Net Carb g = 35.4 including every coffee carb g so 855.6mg caffeine
Starting Weights (day before) = 191.5, (day 1) = 191.5
Ending Weights (day 28) = 182.5, (day after) = 183
NET LOSS = 8.5 wow, I'm surprised and very pleased
OR 4.4% of starting weight
OR 23.5% progress to goal

Oh my. After these 8-9 months of steady gain despite "legal" and experienced LC (quit smoking, I did), I had begun to despair of ever getting back to where I was ... loose size 12s and 150-155 pounds on a 5'6.5" heavy frame.

I now have been effectively reminded of what I've been suggesting to others these past 3 years: go back to basics, count everything and stop guessing, remember to Eat Til Not Hungry is NOT the same as Eat All You Want AND watch out for "SNEAKY CARBS" and DAIRY (often the same thing!).

I fully agree with Doreen on the DISCIPLINE issue. This whole project has reminded me of the absolute necessity to make the time to plan, make the time to record, and keep oneself within certain constraints. LC is only REALLY easy for those with a pretty "normal" metabolism to start with, and most of those folks aren't insulin resistant, glucose intolerant, etc.

PS: I've vowed to continue logging my intake and doing basic Atkins/Somers (strictly Atkins during the week, with some Somers permitted on weekends) as "Regular LC". I'm still cogitatin' on Stillman vs. Fat Fast.
