Daily weight from December 31, 2011 - year 2012.

I am down big after a low-carb (not slow-carb) day of eating. Calories might have been down a little lower yesterday, but probably not by a whole lot. Today is, of course, a 24-hour fast; I won't be eating anything before dinner. With that, I fully expect my weight tomorrow to be back around 200 pounds.

Daily Comment

I saw a great TED talk about a doctor who, after 7 years of medical treatment, 'cured' herself of MS through diet. Very inspiring. The diet contains huge amounts of vegetables (including a bit of seaweed), some fruit, and grass-fed meat and organs, and wild-caught fish. Here's a link: Mind Your Mitochondria .


This may be the sanest diet plan ever.
