May 28: The Diet Sunset

215 lb. That is 43 lb. in one year.

Actually, I might conclude on May 27. That would be exactly one year (and a leap year to boot.) But I like doing the year to year comparison of the same date.

I lost 3 lb. on my last day. I ate an apple in AM and then skipped on all carbs thereafter. No Kimchi at lunch. No whole sunflower seeds. Nada with the canned chicken.

Cutting carbs causes a quick weight loss because carbohydrates can absorb water. Ergo, adding carbs can cause a rapid weight increase. Water absorption and water shedding is not necessarily related to ketosis or the fat loss that can follow prolonged carbohydrate restriction.

43 lb. Not bad.
