I seem to be over my digestive problems. Now I have to figure out how to get back to losing weight, losing fat.

This is not paying too much attention to my daily weight. This is keeping track of trends, and what is working.

What is not working for me is the maintenance section of NHE. I think I need to try something else. My initial idea is to go back to the 'Inductance' diet I began with: Low carbs, no carb-load meals. As my weight loss from this 'kicks in', when I get near my desired weight, I may add a 'cheat day' to the mix. That is TBD.

Meanwhile, I am 3 days away from my original goal date. While I have met that goal, I have not been able to hold the line.

If I have more weight gain tomorrow, I will probably do a mini-fast, as I did in the past. Skip breakfast, probably lunch, eat only dinner.

We'll see, right?
