Im happy with where my weight is right now, but I need to get back on track or it wont stay. Ive been over my RDI for the past several days now. I was reading an article on refeeding and I thought this was interesting.
"Ideally, you want the majority of the increase in calories to come from carbs because a) it's a lot harder for carbs to be directly stored as fat whereas dietary fat is directly stored as fat, and b) carbs seem to have more of an effect on the cortisol-related water retention that so often comes along with dieting. So by increasing calories (and carbs), you may find a drop in water retention that often 'masks' fat loss. This is why you often find yourself leaner (and lighter on the scale) the day after eating more calories." - Aadam Ali w/ Physiqonomics.
Now, as a disclaimer, you should probably read the whole thing before you change your WOD. I just thought it was interesting that you could go over your RDI in cals and carbs and still see a drop the next day. That has ALWAYS messed with me. Like, oh I did this and saw my weight go down, so I must be doing something right and BOOM gain like 6 pounds in 3 weeks. Or whatever.
Anyway, the point here is that I need to get back on track. Even though I saw a temporary drop, it will be a permanant gain if I dont get it together asap. I have a good plan for today, and will start looking ahead to make sure I dont get caught unprepared.
