Day 1 of a planned 2 days of eating
So I kept my carbs below 100.50 :) for 14 days. Turns out I had the worst weight loss performance in months. I think the culprit was that I went too high on the protein. When in diet mode, I need low carbs and protein. Diet mode starts Monday. This weekend I am off the diet...
If I have low carbs and protein I will automatically have low calories because calories are calculated from the macros (1 g of protein has 4 calories, 1 g of fat has 9 calories and 1 g of carbohydrate has 4 calories). If I only counted calories, I could have 'only 1200 calories' but consume 300 carbs! It won't matter that I have a huge 'calorie deficit' 300 carbs to my body will cause fat to be added.
There is no way my body can 'burn' all that glucose in a day.
Anyway, I changed my goal weight back to the usual 164lbs (my BMI weight).
😎 Life is Good! Have a great day everyone!

Even though diets are suppose to help you lose weight and this one didn’t, I still think it’s a huge success! You controlled what you ate 👍 That was a success and now you know that you can do it if you feel up to it 😃

Try the 100 diet. Low carb and you count sugar Calories and it helps you keep the carbs in check.

@jentully1966, @Davejp70 - My problem is 'motivation'. I'm at that weight where the only reason to lose 'more weight' is that I want to see if I can get 'washboard abs'. Everytime I get to a point where I know I need to 'dig in' I lose interest and decide to have some pizza Haha

I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. You always adjust until it works for you. You are so good about doing that. Good luck to you for Monday's new start .👍

@jsmeemee - I think excess protein is worse for me than excess carbs. This weekend I am doing the 'excess carb' thing so next week will also tell for me :)

What's the plan when you get to your bmi weight? Same cycle?

@cb1006 - Basically eat pizza, gain weight, lift weights to hopefully get some positive use of the carbs, then lose weight again.
