Eat More--Lose More?
I've been limiting my carb intake since early August. My blood test showed
elevated tryglicerides and my glucose level was high enough that he warned me that he would have to put me on medication if it didn't drop. He mentioned Metabolic Syndrome X--and suggested that I see the clinic dietician. He knows me pretty well, and said I could also find books about Syndrome X and do it myself. He scheduled me for a retest in 6 weeks. I bought 3 books, and started LCing. I eliminated all the dense carbs (potatoes, rice, bread, etc). No sodas or beer anymore. Breakfast is a couple of eggs and some cheese. Dinner is meat/vegetable/salad. Most of the time I skip lunch at work. I lost 25 lbs. in 6 weeks. My blood results were approaching normal, and the doctor is pretty happy. He wants me to retest in 3 months. I slowed down on the weight loss--7 lbs. over the next 4 weeks. Yesterday, I attended a seminar for work. They had the pastry/fruit offerings for breakfast and I skipped that (I had eaten at home). For the buffet lunch, I had a salad, sliced pork, sliced roast beef, and asparagus. I don't normally eat lunch. I ate my normal dinner. This morning I stepped on the scale and lost 4 lbs! I'm wondering if I should start eating lunch every day--to lose more weight! Anyone else experience this? BTW, I am going to eat a salad with chicken today to test this out. Mark |

Congrats on the fantastic results! Yesterday, I attended a seminar for work. They had the pastry/fruit offerings for breakfast and I skipped that (I had eaten at home).

You can't tell from one day to the next what caused weight loss. People think they can and wind up drawing silly conclusions. If you do *nothing* your weight fluctuates a few lbs day-to-day anyway, due to changes in water, amount of contents in your GI tract, etc. To really see a difference, you need to do something for a couple weeks before drawing conclusions about how well it works or doesn't. Unless you're female, in which case you really need to chech on a monthly basis. -- http://www.ornery-geeks.org/consulting/ |

Seems rather an odd way to think, huh? Good point. It would be nice if your body reacted with impunity every time you ate or declined a doughnut, but it has to sort through all kinds of chemical reactions before it ultimately decides what to do about you. If I drink a light beer, I lose weight the next day. Four days later I will be up three pounds before the needle drifts back down again. I've also noticed this with diet bread. Eat the bread, nothing happens, I'm fine. Four days later, I'm up two pounds. With regular bread on a regular basis I can put on twenty pounds, say, in a month -- but it might take ten days to start showing up in my But if I were you, I wouldn't skip lunch. It often has cheeseburgers in it. c ran into one today as a matter of fact |

Anyone else experience this? Not that exactly, but sort of. Last January, I had stalled mostly. I started with five meals a day (and cardio intervals) and lost about 1.5 lbs a week for about 6-7 weeks. I think you're looking at too small a sample size to figure, but your experiment seems like a good idea. Men's Health would approve. Think: Thermic effect of eating. |

In article , Roger Zoul says...
Why do you associate that 4 lb drop with the extra lunch yesterday and not the absence of lunch over the previous 4 weeks? Seems rather an odd way to think, huh? I dunno. That is why I asked the question. I added lunch to my food intake yesterday and lost another 2 lbs when I weighed this AM. Either I am coming out of a stall or there is something to this lunch thing.

Mark "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." --Mark Twain Hey -- I don't know your history, whether you're diabetic or not, etc. But it could just have to do with eating more frequent meals. The Class of 2003 Lowcarb school taught that eating was actually a good thing for weight loss because it mobilized you metabolism to do stuff with the food. As long as you keep insulin out of it, Class of 2003 said, moving food around burns calories and revs up your fatburning hormones. I started literally shrinking when I split high protein meals up into five and six a day. My understanding about that was that women especially can't digest a lot of calories at once and the conversion from protein to sugar to fat occurs at a much higher ratio at anything over 400 calories. Could be BS, but it worked for me. c been around the block in tweaktown |
