Quick Sunday Update

Started sliding the carbs back in yesterday. Went to a salad bar, and had a cup of pasta salad with egg noodles, so not the healthiest stuff. Still, kept it around 50g of carbs for the day, which I can deal with.

Weight this morning was down another 1.4 pounds. Not sure if the slow in dropping is from the carbs, or from eating too little, as I only had about 1,500 calories yesterday.

Still, I sit here at 303 pounds, lowest I've been in a long time by .8 pounds.

This morning I went for a quick 2-mile bike ride, and I'm going to do 100 push-ups through the day - 30 down, so far.

Hoping to get these 300's behind me very soon.

**ALSO** Congrats to Beck for dropping back under 200 officially for the first time in a long time! Check her blog out on my sidebar, "One More Round."

Hey!
If you are serious about going low carb, check out the following resources:

www.robbwolf.com - listen to his podcasts

www.paleonu.com - great for the science behind it all

www.freetheanimal.com - sarcastic SOB, but he has lived the whole body transformation thing

www.marksdailyapple.com - ignore the products and look for his primal primers

BTW: Low-carb/Paleo has let me effortlessly maintain a 70 lb weight loss for over a year. The first three weeks on it suck because your body has to adjust from burning carbs primarily to burning fat. You just have to man through the 'carb-flu'. Oh, and you won't lose any muscle mass while you lose weight if you can keep your protein grams at 150 per day while maintaining a caloric deficit. Since you are not taking in carbs (glucose) your body will convert ~150 gm of protein (gluconeogenesis) to glucose. In the absence of dietary carbs, it will either use dietary protein or your muscles.

Good Luck!
