Greetings Buddies!
I am happy with my January calendar because I was able to transition successfully by choosing to eat no grains and no dairy. I got my net carbs down around 40-45 per day - about 20% of total macros daily. This is a great improvement from prior months. I just now dropped my RDI down 50 more calories; and will shoot for 40 net carbs, over 100 grams of protein, and about 60 grams of fat daily during February.
And, the "Idiot Box" moved down about .4 pounds - not much, but something changed.
Most LCHF sites say my fat should be at 70% or more of the total macros - I am not there yet and am not sure about eating that much fat...
Sodium - 1948
Fat - 60.77
Fiber - 17.7
Net Carb -35.72
Prot - 107.98
Cals - 1179
The words of the week: Stick to the plan!
I am dedicated, determined, and diligent.

I've said this before, but I find it amazing that you and others can stick to a specific eating plan, fasting, etc. I'm happy the "idiot box" graced you with a loss. But I bet your clothes are the real proof.

I may sound like a broken record but I am confident that you will eventually find your "magic formula". Maybe this time you've struck gold!

Don't be afraid of fat! Also, it's better to go by grams for your macros rather than percentages; fat is meant to be there for satiety, not necessarily a goal you have to reach every day. If you're finding yourself hungry all the time, then that would be an indicator to be eating fattier foods. Likewise, carbs are a limit and not necessarily a goal to reach as well. I personally shoot for 20 grams a day (net) since I seem to be very sensitive to anything much more than that.
The only thing to worry about is making sure that you eat to your protein goal as to spare lean muscle mass.
The scale's also a big fat liar. There will be times when you'll lose inches and not see much going on the scale.
I'm happy to read about your progress and wish you continuing success! You can do it! :-)

I try to use "good" fats, like olive oil, organic almond butter without any additives, avocado, coconut oil, ect. Although I do eat bacon fat and other fats that are sat fats, but I really work at eating mostly the good ones. Keep reading and trialing your best carb level that keeps you burning fat.
