post-holiday recovery

For 2 weeks of holiday, just over 2 weeks diet is required to get back on track, it seems. I was concerned that this would not work a second time. I thought maybe my body would have adapted to this strange diet and cope accordingly.
As it happened, the pattern was the same as the first time, with dramatic initial weight loss; then a bit of yo-yoing, with a clear downward trend for fat (most importantly) and weight.
The indivdidual fat & mass charts are in the links at the top of the page.
My new (Salter, since 9 Aug) scales weigh about half a kilo heavier than the Tanita scale, which is the truth if compared to the balance-scale at the gym.. The Salter scale is totally consistent over a series of weighings. I still use the Tanita scale for the fat measuring for which it is consistent to 0.2% over a series of weighings. For mass it is wildly inconsistent, as it is very sensitive to where you stand on the scale (or even if you lean!).
