[QUOTE="muzza3, post: 2417290, member: 258123"] 8 weeks. Weight loss this week 1kg (5.7kg since starting). Fasting BG 7 day average 5.1 14 day average 5.0 30 day average 5.0 Body contour scales Body fat down down to 27% (starting 29.8%) Muscle up 37.5% (starting 35.9%) Belt in .5 notch (about .5 inch) and in 3 since starting PE Ratio has been around 1.4 over the week. Calories averaged 1400 this week Full on week work wise with end of financial year and as such daytime meals unstructured. Actually having access to Protein Bars because of the diet meant I probably ate more than I would have previously in this sort of week and didn't have to resort to junky takeaway during the day. Pulled a back muscle early in the week (probably due to my starting a little muscle strengthening exercise and how out of condition I am) and with long workdays and wet weather curtailed my walking activity significantly during the week. recovered now and had a great walk yesterday and resumed planks and isometrics on alternative days While I aimed to increase protein this week to 172g I was still short of this most of the week but have decided to not get to fixated on the number but to keep as a goal. As other have noted and I enjoy about this diet is that as long as I maintain a positive PE Ratio (in weight-loss mode) I can be relaxed about the overall macros and as I am rarely hungry on this diet (even at low calorie levels) I haven't had to worry about cravings or desire to continually snack. After eight weeks I am delighted and comfortable with the results and am happy to continue with this style of diet for the foreseeable future. A few personal observations When using this diet in weight loss mode it is a low calorie diet While not undertaken for BG Control (mine were in normal range prior to starting the diet) there has been an improvement with FBG's consistently in the 4.5 to 5.0 range (an improvement of about .5 since commencing eight weeks ago I am also enjoying not needing to consume High Fat using leaner meats and skim milk in coffee/tea. While still remaining low carb (generally 70 to 100 g a day) it is a lot more relaxed than previously and allows more options [/QUOTE]
