Friday Weigh In – 8/6/10
It’s good to be back…
Reverting to the diet scheme I used early last year to burn some fat rather quickly. Basically I eat about 1-1.25 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass, which I estimate around 190-200 lbs. I keep fat to as little as I can, plus fish oil. Carbs I like to keep under 40-50 grams at most, but ideally under 20 grams per day…and I THRIVE eating like this. The only difference between last year and now is the incorporation of a refeed. A refeed is a structured, intentional overeating phase where you pound the carbs 1-3 times a week while keeping fat non existent. There are hormonal and metabolic advantages to this, which I hope to cover later, but so far, it is working for me.
Weight today was 311.2 lbs, which is about as low as I have been since I began weigh ins on 4/30/10. That means I have lost 7 lbs since my first weigh in.
Tape was a shade disappointing, but it’ll get there… 53.5 inches, which is 1 full inch down from 4/30/10.
I’m just happy to be back at it. It was disappointing to be going nowhere for a few weeks there, but I’m back at it. Looking forward once again to my next weigh in, where it hopefully will begin with “30_”

That’s great, Dan! Keep it up! I’m also low carb this month, but I don’t do any refeeds. I do eat a lot of fruit =)
