The sun stays low in the sky this time of year and lights the tree trunks and their tangled branches broadside. Long shadows, the sky like blue glass over the near naked oaks still clinging to a few remaining ragged pennant leaves. A perfect day to work outside. No movement on the scale. I believe my somatotype is mesomorph. Keeping this in mind when I make changes to my lifestyle, especially in terms of eating and activity, helps me to make more informed decisions.
Looking back at the data collected here over the past few weeks on this very useful website, a correlation appears to manifest between weight loss and carbohydrate intake for me. Net calories burned on a daily basis doesn't appear to have the same rapid effect as carbohydrate intake over 60g in terms of weight loss triggering. There are several examples of daily net calorie loss exceeding 3500 calories with no weight loss. On these same days my carbohydrate intake is above 60g. On days where my carbohydrate intake is near 60, there is up to a two pound loss. I will test this hypothesis by reducing my carbohydrate intake to 60g or less over the coming week to see if the apparent sensitivity is substantiated. I will change only this aspect in order to isolate the effect as much as possible. This is not going to be easy since I do not eat meat. =D
