I weigh myself every morning, but I only record a weight after I've seen it for several mornings in a row. Between recorded weigh-ins, my weight can go up or down by several pounds each day.
Most remarkably, I am losing weight even with more than occasional carb fests. This past Sunday I went out to breakfast at Le Peep and ordered the Omni Omelet, which looked like a good low-carb choice. Imagine my shock when I looked at its nutrition count later: 68 carbs! Now, I ate only a few bites of the potatoes and nibbled a little buttered part off the English muffin, so I'm sure I didn't eat 68 carbs, but still. . . . My only explanation is that one day of excess carbs does not hinder weight loss for me. Instead, it's the carbs eaten day-in and day-out that can add up to gaining weight.
On previous diets, I would diligently count calories or fat grams or balance macro nutrients to keep myself in the Zone. Inevitably, I would go through periods of 1-4 weeks with no further weight loss. Perhaps my body benefits from eating varying levels of carbs.
