it makes sense what you are saying. i have experienced this as well. i put my weight and body fat into a spread sheet each day. i have columns that show how much body fat i need to lose to reach my goal, and how much muscle i need to gain. i pay much more attention to these two columns than to the weight and body fat. i notice that i do lose weight faster in the summer... but, then, i am much more active during the summer. i lose weight (and body fat) when i cut out fruits and when i up fat. it is nice to chart you progress to see what certain dietary changes affect what.

I've noticed the same thing about the loss of fat when I eat more and more fat. The more fat I eat, the greater the weight loss, as long as I stay away from too much fruit...EXCEPT my home-grown and home-dried Italian prunes. If I eat about thirty of those little dudes each night, along with half a frozen banana (for my potassium), I always tend to lose some weight...if I ate a lot of protein and fat that day, too. A great nighttime snack, also. Besides the great way it "cleans" me out every morning. It's like prunes lubricate the passageways for an easy passing of the detritus and keep it from an unwelcome stay in my lower intestine. Weird, huh?
