Why I Started
- Almost hit 210
- Decided I wanted to take control
- Knew I needed to learn about my body
- Decided to weigh myself daily for the data
Lessons Learned (These are just for me)
- My body doesn't process carbs well
- Around 80g of carbs per day usually = weight loss
- High protein diets leave me feeling energized and focused
- 100g of carbs per day usually = sustaining
- If I'm in a "losing pattern" I can cheat without killing momentum (it slows but progress is still made)
- There are a lot of landmines
- Always read labels
- Most things are fine to eat as long as you can "afford it"
- Having an understanding of your macro ratios, quality of food, and what works for your body is more important than counting calorie

| 1:45.0 | F.M. A lot of what I started to do to experiment with my own experience in my own body |
