Why I Started

  • Almost hit 210
  • Decided I wanted to take control
  • Knew I needed to learn about my body
  • Decided to weigh myself daily for the data

Lessons Learned (These are just for me)

  • My body doesn't process carbs well
  • Around 80g of carbs per day usually = weight loss
  • High protein diets leave me feeling energized and focused
  • 100g of carbs per day usually = sustaining
  • If I'm in a "losing pattern" I can cheat without killing momentum (it slows but progress is still made)
  • There are a lot of landmines
  • Always read labels
  • Most things are fine to eat as long as you can "afford it"
  • Having an understanding of your macro ratios, quality of food, and what works for your body is more important than counting calorie
