Eh, 40/40/20 is not an effective diet for me. My Starting Strength workout suffered and I felt "small and weak" all week. I can't say I lost weight so I'm shifting again. I've always preferred a lower carb/higher protein diet since I feel most energetic and strong on it. A long time ago I read a book by Lyle McDonald called "Cyclic Ketogenic Diet" that I've recently been reading a lot about again. It's available under different names such as "Protein Power" by the Eades, or even simply an "anabolic" diet. In any case I feel best on it and lose weight. Why don't I follow it all the time? Perhaps because I like to experiment? I think it's time to get back to what works.
In other news my SS program has been going decently. Here are the improvements I've made since 9/13 (granted I initially started low on the squat).
Squat 185 -> 285
Overhead Press 95 -> 112.5
Deadlift 185 -> 215
Power Clean 105 -> 115
Bench Press 155 -> 180
Chin-Up 7 -> 10
Pull-Up 6 -> 8
