Today's Weight:        200.2 lbs
Yesterday's Weight:    200.8 lbs
Net Loss/Gain:         - 0.6 lbs

This is my daily weight chart since ending the Slow-Carb diet.

Today is a low-carb, low calorie day on the CYWT plan. According to the optional calorie and macronutrient planning element of the diet, that means I consume around 1800 calories, almost none of it in carbs (although, since I am eating very low calorie carbs - spinach, cabbage, lettuce, it is a pretty high-volume allotment). And that is what is on call between now and Saturday (cheat day!). Next week, I will add in some higher-carb, lower-fat days.

The CYWT author seems to agree with me that the worst food combination is carbs + fat, so they don't go in that direction.

Yesterday, I consumed about 300 calories worth of food - in the form of a protein shake, and protein drinks. The difference it made in my weight is really just noise, but I'm glad I did it - it felt right.
