Yesterday's Weight: 198.0 lbs
Net Loss/Gain: + 2.2 lbs
This is my daily weight chart since ending the Slow-Carb diet. July 9 was the 1st day of Phase 1 of The 6 week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle. |
This is Day 50 post-Slow-Carb, Day 10 of Phase 1 from The 6-week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle, which lasts 14 days.
I am not surprised by the rather sharp (1 kilo!) weight gain today. The day after a workout like I had yesterday, the body will retain water for muscle repair. I did not help matters much by finishing yesterday's last 'meal' - a protein shake - at midnight, 7 hours before weighing in, either.
On another matter, I ate a lot of eggs this past weekend. Because both of my meals (breakfast) Saturday and Sunday were egg-centric, and I put an egg in all 3 of my shakes each day, I ate a dozen eggs over the weekend. This is because:
- I like eggs
- Eggs are something I know how to cook - very well, too, if I am not being immodest.
- Eggs are the best source of protein I know of - the knock on them is based on the amount of cholesterol you get when you eat an egg, but there is no evidence that the cholesterol you eat has anything to do with the level of cholesterol in your blood. The governor of that last part turns out largely to be inflammation, not dietary cholesterol, and that inflammation is more likely to be caused by carbohydrates than by cholesterol, or fat.
