New month! Targeting an average of 1825 calories per day this month (my theoretical Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). That means an increase to 2316 calories per day for five days a week with two 600 calorie Intermittent Fasting (IF) days (usually Monday and Friday). Also going to try to really adhere to the 40 grams of carbs or less per day. So more calories and fewer carbs. This should tell us something. UPDATE: Woke at 217.4, up .6 from yesterday. Did not get up once last night so I'm feeling the water retention effects of the last med drip. Will flush out today. UPDATE: Did not eat dinner until 8 pm, but it was a delicious chicken parm done with spaghetti squash. The chicken, when added to the earlier omelet, put me up to about double my target protein. I'm stuffed and still about 500 calories away from target. Just going to have to settle for 1847 today! A little over on carbs, but did not hit 50 grams. Been downing liquids all day and forgot to weigh in before I ate, so the 217.4 from this morning is today's low.

Bill, don't know if this will help you but I tried a couple experiments over the last month with different macros post workout...I found that if I consumed too much oily or fatty foods I didn't get the fat loss (slimming) results I wanted. Also, if I consumed too many carbs I got the carb/water bloat...looks and feels just like fat but would go away fairly quick as long as I forced it. Best results for performance and fat loss (for me) was from a careful, moderate carb (glycogen) reload...keeping calories well below the daily theoretical burn...anything more and it was a wasted day. If I wasn't so concerned about performance and focused soley on fat loss I would be inclined to really reduce the carb reload as well as restrict fat intake.

Not saying you should do this, lol...just thought I'd share my observations with my "chemistry set".

It is SO interesting reading about different results. I have done a few low key experiments and found that extreme high fat (80%) and extreme low carb (under 20 g) works best for weight loss for me. I don't have any big workouts though. Have a great month Bill.

Ya Frankie, everyone is different and has different needs and requirements, in spite of what some may think :-) I'm pulled in two or three directions all the time, I don't want to lose muscle, I do want to lose fat (still) and I need to have enough stored energy in my muscles to get better at the things I like doing. Thats why I never recommend my diet to anyone, it's not the best weight or fat loss diet by far...especially with red wine and the odd guiness showing up occasionally in my food log, :-)
