Well, made it through the weekend okay…Ate a lot of chicken wings yesterday, they were awesome. I love being able to eat good foods that I like on this diet.
I need help trying to find more portable food for work, I’ll wade through the thread today for some suggestions.
Well, it’s day 8 and I’m down 3 pounds so far. I’m feeling good and energy is okay. I’m not sure if the crash is impending or if I experienced it on day 3. My original plan was to go the full 12 before a load, but tomorrow being thanksgiving, i’ve decided to have my first carb up. It may take a little longer to make the shift, but I’m being patient, plus I want to eat some carbs. I haven’t decided yet if I’ll stay on low carb for longer than 5 days after this.
Down 4 more pounds, total of 7 so far, pants are fitting pretty loose. This is going well, but I have suffered from some carb cravings, I need to get some sugar free jello. I’m going to go 6 days between carb loads in order to move the days to the weekend. I’ll load wednesday this week, looking forward to it.
As a side note I used to always be hot but I notice that i’m not anymore, and sometimes i’m even getting cold, don’t know why, but it’s nice to not always feel like i’m about to heat to death.

Thanks trib…i’m 5’10". I’m not in any rush to 200, that’s just kind of my long term goal, where i’ll end up. I’m gonna take it slow, shoot for about 2 lbs a week of loss, and monitor my bf% to make sure i’m not losing too much muscle.
The calorie level you mentioned is actually where I was originally shooting for, but i’m having a tough time getting enough fats in my diet, and i’m already overboard on the proteins. I guess I could choose fattier meats, but i’ve got eye round, tuna, and other lean proteins ingrained in my mind from past experience.
Any suggestions?[/quote]
Try either throwing a tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a shake, or adding some pork to your diet.
Pork is relatively fatty for a white meat, but it’s yummy. It’s one of the many, many reasons I am a bad Jew.
