Mutant Diet Phase 3 Day 108
I am now wondering what to think the day after a long awaited movement on the scale. We know the scale isn’t everything, but if you walk into a cardiologist’s office, and you have a blood pressure that’s not perfect, they’re going to ask you to lose weight as a first comment.
I am not complaining about finally finding a way to budge the needle on the scale in the right direction. However, it occurred to me last night that a few more diet assumptions are being challenged if not outright broken.
Fallacy #1: If you cheat in a week of dieting, it kills the entire week’s weight loss. This is clearly wrong as I managed an average of 2 pounds per week loss over three weeks with four cheat days. And these cheat days were serious with booze and ice cream and carbs.
Fallacy #2: Once you cheat, you keep cheating. This was my number 1 fear of cheat days. But I returned to the process – even after a 48-hour cheat day – and by 3 PM on the first day back felt just as horrible as I had previously from the sugar/carb restriction.
Well, one thing is for sure, it’s nice to have a process with a proven track record. I am however worried my body will plateau again. But, let’s take this one actual problem at a time, eh?
