I don't usually talk about my job because it involves mental health and I am unusually cautious about confidentiality. The place where I work calls itself a crisis stabilization unit. In other words, people who are experiencing a mental health crisis but do not need to be confined to a locked unit come to our ward. Also, people who "step down" from a locked unit come to our ward. As well, people who need a psychopharmalogical evaluation or need to be observed after starting a new pharmacological regime come to our unit.
Among my many duties, I act as sort of a quartermaster, purchasing food among other things. It is an ingrained ethic from early childhood, that wasting food is a very grievous sin. So diet or no, I am at war with the garbage disposal. Thus, I become a garbage disposal by proxy.
On Monday September 14 our unit had a few ripe bananas and a surplus of bread products, especially hot dog rolls. I downloaded a recipe http://www.workitmom.com/bloggers/orderingdisorder/2009/05/16/banana-bread-pudding-an-easy-crowd-pleaser/
I made a few substitutions because we didn't have all of the ingredients. It turned out great.
I decided to go off-diet for a day and since I went off diet, I ate a copious amount of bread pudding. The next day I ate more bread pudding. Since I was off-diet I had a glass of saki when I got home. On Wednesday we hate some dry bagels and some apples no one seemed particularly interested in. We turned the apple bread pudding into a group project. I made an even larger dent in this masterpiece. And as I went off-diet I ate some chips and popcorn and finished up the saki when I got home.
On Sunday September 13 and Monday September 14 I weighed 241 lb. On Thursday September 17 I weighed 249 lb. I restarted the high protein diet Thursday AM and as of this writing I weigh 241 lb.
A few quick high protein points reconfirmed in the past week. You can lose weight fast on a high protein diet and you can reagain it just as quickly. I suspect that has to do with carbohydrates' tendency to absorb water. That, in part, expains the roller coaster weight loss and gain with when carbs are eliminated and then restarted.
Other notes: On Monday September 14 I increased the resveratrol from 400 mg. tid to 800 mg. tid. DHEA stay at 500 mg. bid.
