Yesterday I did my first Fat Fast after a few days of regular Low Carb and I am delighted to report that it worked again.

I lost one pound and am down to 178.5 lbs. (watch out Doreen I am right behind you).

My nutritional breakdown is as follows:

Calories: 1002
Fat: 101 g.
% of Fat: 89
Protein: 20 g.
% of Protein: 8
Carbs: 14 g. (- 6 g. fibre = 8 g.)
% of Carbs: 3

Thoughts: I like the idea of interspersing Fat Fast days in the midst of LC days. It is extremely easy for me to do the Fat Fast menu, because all I need around the house is cream cheese, pork rinds, macadamia nuts, romaine lettuce, home made salad dressing, and bottled water. No hunger pangs and simple.

Thoughts: Really screwed up my L.C. menu today because I took a U.K. couple visiting Toronto, for them to see Niagara Falls and ended up eating the wrong things with them.

Hope that this does not set me back much.

Thoughts: I am looking forward anxiously to read the conclusions drawn by the other Group Project participants.

Doreen seems to be the only one that is posting some analytical results.

It would be great if we could establish a direct relationshio to the weight changes from calorie, fat, protein, or carb adjustments; or percentage ratios.

Not so. I've posted stats and comments; there's also a thread for Observations and Speculations, which would be a great place for this kind of discussion.

Hmm. And where's your analysis Joe?

Joe, your journal has been copied into the "H to M" section of the regular Bootcamp .. so you can continue making entries there .. I think besides the weight loss success from the study ... that journalling and writing down what you've eaten and your thoughts, activities etc ... has also been of great value to you on your Lowcarb journey. Keep up the good work



Doreen

p.s. - we put your entries for the last 2 days into your Bootcamp copy, so that it's up-to-date. I look forward to reading all about your progress there.
