Subject: Good morning Kel (and everyone else)

Kel, I thought your one day off wouldn't affect the scale readings too badly. If you keep it to the one day it often doesn't, and in my case sometimes it even looks better the next day. I can never figure out why this is, but maybe we "break down" and eat just before a whoosh is about to happen anyway and if we didn't do it the whoosh would be greater. Or maybe we eat because that is what our bodies need at that time.

Anyway I didn't break down yesterday although I almost did, and today the scale looks a lot lower. I still feel really puffy and water retentive, so I'm going to wait awhile to see what numbers will show up on the scale after a few more trips to the bathroom, to get rid of some of this water, but it looks like I may have hit a new low today.

Strips still look like they are in the high ketosis range, so maybe in spite of all my discouragement, something good is happening. I didn't work out yesterday. May have had something to do with it.

Anyway here is a web site that explains all the things that most of us experienced dieters already know about how carbohydrates affect our bodies. For those of you who are just starting out though, (and if you haven't read the books) this might be just what you need to understand.

My weight training board keeps sending me to new and more websites for more information, so I will share the best ones here.
