September 8, 2011: Day 102 after Slow-Carb, Post 250

 Goal Weight: 188 pounds 


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

Today's Weight:        205.2 lbs
Yesterday's Weight:    204.4 lbs
Net Loss/Gain:         + 0.8 lbs
Daily weight since 5/30/2011.
Today, I think I know why my weight is up. Pepperoni - I'm taking in too much salt and fat when I eat a lot of pepperoni - and yesterday, I did. I think I did the day before, too. But not as much as today.


Pepperoni is officially off the list of foods I can eat for weight loss and health.


What was I thinking? Pepperoni's single virtue, besides the taste, of course, is that it is a no-carb food. But it is also high in sodium, high in fat, and full of preservatives. Lack of carbs does not make it a healthy food. And I find it to be a trigger food, meaning that, when I start eating it, I can't stop.

Food Log


Breakfast
Protein shake with 36g of whey protein, and one whole egg.


Lunch
Roast turkey and mozzarella cheese on a salad of red cabbage and Spring Mix greens with a creamy balsamic dressing (balsamic vinaigrette mixed with homemade mayonnaise).
Dinner 
Caribbean lime rotisserie chicken and a side of spinach mixed with dal fry (indian lentil curry).

looks good. You just have to keep on going. I'm not sure that the way it works is that you you get instant day by day results. love you, Joan

I agree, day-to-day results are meaningless. But I'm looking at a day's results in context - it may not be just what happened the day before, but several days. In fact, cheat days are an example: Maximum impact on my weight usually comes on the second weigh-in after my cheat day.

I also listen to my body to try and figure out what influenced a given result. Sometimes I can intuit an answer, sometimes not.

With the pepperoni, it was pretty easy to look at all the preceding two days' food and see what the problem was.
