August 5, 2011: Day 68, Post 216

 Goal Weight: 188 pounds 

Please leave a comment if you visit my blog. Thank you!

Today's Weight:        199.4 lbs
Yesterday's Weight:    201.0 lbs
Net Loss/Gain:         - 1.6 lbs

This is my daily weight chart since ending the Slow-Carb diet. July 9 was the 1st day of Phase 1, and July 23 the start of Phase 2 of The 6 week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle.

This is Day 68 post-Slow-Carb, and the last day of the two-week Phase 2 of The 6-week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle.

The last day of Phase 2 gets me back down below 200, a good thing, and gives me some hope of not gaining too much weight for this phase, which was supposed to be about weight loss.

Tomorrow, it is back for a week on Phase 1, then on to CYWT ('Cheat Your Way Thin').

Interestingly CYWT has an interesting feature in respect to my recent diet experience: It seeks to continually 'change up' calorie and macronutrient intake to avoid adaptation and keep leptin high. It rotates between low-carb and medium-carb days (then adds a day of anything-goes). The low-carb days look an awful lot like phase 2, but more portion-controlled, and with less emphasis on eating fats. The medium-carb days look more like Natural Hormonal Enhancement.
