i just reviewed my notes and here's a couple of observations:
1. in retrospect, the holidays really messed this diet up, it requires that my system adjust to it, so everytime i grubbed a holiday meal/beverage i was actually halting any progress and having to start over. even though it was technically only a *cheat day*
but once i got through new years and i adjusted (2weeks) blam the weight was dripping off, i could grab my love handles daily and feel them getting smaller. there were several days where i dropped 3 pounds each day. not in a row.
2. in the afternoons, coffee helps with energy, or a nap. one or the other.
3. my daily energy level flipped- before i would have more energy in the mornings but on this diet i've been a zombie in the mornings and have even adjusted my work day to start after noon and work into the late evening.
that being said, i think the delays contributed to the 2:1 fat/lean loss. because once this cycles up, the flab dissolves.
