Do not focus on weight. Do not focus on weight. Do not focus on weight...
Focus on: Process, Carb-load
Yesterday's huge carb-load meal was the first since I started the "normal" version (post-inductance) of the diet. The previous carb-load, much the same as this, but not as high in carbs and calories, ended the Inductance phase.

It is too early to see whether this diet will be effective. It has only been 4 days on the diet, not counting the Inductance phase (which I don't count). At the same time I started following the normal protocol for the diet, I started a week off from PAGG. PAGG is a holdover from the Slow-Carb Diet, where I have 5 months of data, and the week off from PAGG had an adverse effect on weight loss.
There are a number of questions still to be answered: Are two carb load meals better than one "cheat" day? Are the carb-load limitations for protein and fat realistic/do-able/necessary, or can the carb-load meal be a "cheat" meal? Can I continue my no-grains policy (this isn't a feature of the diet, it is my decision)? Even, can I lose weight on the "normal" version (low-to-moderate carbs) of the diet (or is weight loss really dependent on a lower-carb, higher-fat model, similar to the eating during the Inductance phase)?
Sorry for the redundancy, but this is the early going in this phase of the experiment. The spike in weight today is expected, and can be accounted for not only by the short time since the 'rush' of Insulin to handle all those carbs (and the slight excess in protein above the 20g limit), but by the likely retention of water required to deal with it.
As of today, I see no reason to be concerned.
