Added a Current Progress page
A place for everything, and everything in its place.
I’ve added a Current Progress page to the navigation menu. I had planned on putting one up for a while, because Substack’s newsletter format doesn’t really lend itself for persistent pages that get updated continually. And I didn’t want to send out frequent emails with almost nothing in them.
E.g. I’ve done DEXA scans, OmegaQuants, and things like that, but they don’t always seem to warrant an update. Sometimes there’s just nothing exciting in the results, or the change is very small.
Still, it’s easy to lose sight of the big picture just through the 30 day experiments that I often report on.
Recently, John of The Heart Attack Diet commented that he’d like to see a total weight graph since I began ex150, and I realized it’s been since the very first post on the blog that I’ve posted one.
I’ll try to keep this Current Progress page up to date going forward, now that I have a place to put things.
I’m sure you’ve analysed this to death but I find a couple of things interesting. Your weight usually spikes after ending a diet but doesn’t always recover when starting the new one. Do you know why or have a theory? I associate water loss at the start of a diet with the water that’s bound to glycogen being released as you burn down the store and vice versa. Are you eating enough carbs to replenish your store when you end diets? The example trash keto diet you gave above doesn’t have much cards (depending on how much chocolate you ate) or is the water weight being gained lost in a different way?
What do you eat in between controlled diets?
