you need fats every day, not once every few days. Like i said, nuts and seeds are fine for in betweens, don't have to do it with cheese and bacon.

the war on fat needs to end. I've been doing pretty much the same thing you are. Good fats and less carbs have been great for getting leaner. I use ketostix to check my ketone levels and I've pretty much figure out how to get into ketosis at will. For those who don't know what ketosis is(I'm sure Glen knows), it's when your system is using bodyfat as an energy source instead of carbs. Basically people need to change their systems from being a sugar burner to being a fat burner. It takes a while, but doing high(good) fats lower carb will make it happen.
Dropping calories without focusing on macro balance will cause you to drop muscle weight. Having less muscle means slower metabolic rate 24/7. It's lose-lose all the way.
Things like Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig have trained people to think that eating fat makes them fat. Then they sell all of this low fat crap, and add addictive sugar so they can keep selling their garbage-ass food products.
