Doesn't feel like a diet yet, which is good.
Last week's weight (9.14) - 166.2
Current weight - 161 (post carb-up/yohimbine)
My daily dessert: pudding parfait
Still to do:
Ichigo daifukumochi - strawberry ice cream dumplings
Macarons
Peach pancakes
Apple bread pudding
Now entering my 3rd week of low carb and so far, no major speed bumps.

What's your methodology? High carb two days, then low carb two days? What's your BMR/daily caloric needs? I'm wondering how you calculate how high to go on high days and how low to go on low days.
ReplyDeleteDillon,
ReplyDeleteNo rhyme or reason. If I crave, I'll drop fat intake to allow myself an evening carb fest to rival Willy Wonka.
I haven't calculated my current RMR, but I'd estimate it at ~1700. It was ~1800-1900 when I was 180. Thanks for stopping by.
guinness + ice cream = win
ReplyDeleteAnd that's truth! Although I'm still getting used to the widget floating around inside the bottle.
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting back to me, Martin!
ReplyDeleteSo, do you concentrate on a weekly caloric target then? i.e. If you decide to go high carb one day because you feel like it, do you fast the next day to make up for that overage?
Dillon,
ReplyDeleteSorry for being late; I didn't realize you replied back & didn't check this post again until now.
To answer: yes, I do something similar to what you've described & make the next day's calories lower. I look at total intake across a week's span, so I don't sweat over a day's worth of calories.
