hairygrandpa - it was like...36 hours. I feel good that I was missed!
bighulksmash - see man? How can I get out of line with guys like HGP shipping g me into shape. I guess if I had his special carb bread instead of a pizza it would be ok. The puzzy isn't even working out with real weights right now and he is talking smack. It's ok though, cuz he is old.
Yeah, Lyle suggests a full diet break at periodic intervals...I think he suggests a week or two...but I like three day breaks and I am sure I will out a bit back on but then it comes off easier. Plus, it shows me that when I carb up after I hit my goal, I will probably gain 4-5 pounds right quick, so a carb depleted 160 isn't the 160 I am looking for. May have yo touch 156-156 and then carb up.
Yeah...you are right...splenda is a no-no to some degree, but I am a wimp. Haha. I've cut it back to about 3 packs of splenda a day plus whatever is in my crystal light and protein shakes. Ketosis isn't really the goal in a PSMF, if it was I've been failing the entire time.
Thanks man! Like I've said from the beginning, I don't think everyone should do what I do, but I hope that this log gives others some motivation to try new things and not worry about the beliefs of others. Standard practice would have you believe this is a recipe for poor health and muscle wasting. I am sure I've lost some....but it hasn't been as dramatic as I would have feared.
Granted, I wonder if I am a bit of a hard case after having been day all my life....maybe I have to be a little more extreme than some others to get results.
