As I approach the end of the second week, the quirks of this diet are coming back to me.
My weight is not dropping as fast as I hoped. In fact it is yoyoing around a bit, as can be seen on the graph. I had forgotten that this happens.I was not measuring my fat percentage and so this apparently slow progress was starting to be a bit demoralising.
In fact the fat percentage is dropping. Once this is is taken into account, I can see that the diet is causing body composition changes and not just weight loss. This is in fact the goal of the diet: I do not want to be a lightweight; I only want to have less fat.
I need plenty more fat % figures to be sure, but it is so important to monitor. If I do nothing else, the morning weigh-in and evening fat check must be done.
I weigh myself in the morning after a visit to the toilet. This gives me the best consistency in the amount of water/food in me. As a bonus, it is my lightest time of the day!
I do the fat check in the evening. For some reason it is all over the place in the morning. Evening checks last thing before bed (after toilet, once again!) give the best consistency.
