[QUOTE=MarissaLinnea;1005878]Do you actually have 8-10 lbs of body fat to lose? From your pic you look like you are already pretty low BF.[/QUOTE]
I think that I am now around 12 % bodyfat and I will try to reach a healthy 8 %. I guess that Mark Sisson, estimated from his photos is around 8 - 9 %. So if I drop 4 % of bodyfat, then I will be somehow around 202 lb. of bodyweight, and that will suit me perfectly...

eating disorder central up in this bitch
There have been some criticisms that mono-diets are not paleo because they have no variations! My egg diet is a duo-diet though, since I am cycling with potatoes on 3 of the weekdays. But what about the paleo hunters that chased let's say Mammoths? I am pretty sure they only ate mammoths for very long periods of time, and nothing else, so nothing wrong about mono-diets per se from a paleo perspective! Anyhow, it’s only for a limited period…

I see, well that makes sense.
I am down to 202.0 lb. today, that's the news from the scale when I tested it after my afternoon workout, so a weightloss of 6.4 lb. from yesterday and down 10.3 lb. since Monday. That may look impressive, but just remember that the human body actually is a big "sponge" that consist of more than 70 % water, so it is mostly waterweight that will be regained when eating some carbs, but maybe just maybe I have lost a pound of bodyfat though, if I am lucky...
Today I finally hit the wall - "THE BONK" - when depleting most of the glycogen in my body. Training high volume weight training without sufficient carbs is a miserable affair indeed, so to get energy for the workout tomorrow I decided to do the planned dieting protocol for wednesday, the carbup that I skipped, so 3 lb. of potatoes, 11 whole eggs & 11 extra eggwhites are on the menu today and for the rest of the weekend as well. My bodyweight is 203.8 after the afternoon workout that was very, very, low intensity due to no energy whatsoever.
Ketosis is not a good place to be when doing almost 50 set of weighttraining...

Yeah, thats a lot of sets. I would, were this my experiment, adopt a HIT protocol with far less volume while doing the egg deal. One or two HIT sessions/week just to retain lean mass.

Yes, that's what most experts recommends, but I am a bit hooked on high volume training, so let's see if the glucose from the potatoes is enough to avoid that this happen again, if not I'll have to reduce the volume. I am also doing cardio in the morning, so I am very much aware that I am pushing the limits here...

Sounds good! Push on man.
I thought you might enjoy this info. It works for the tator debate as well. I have read it many times, but it never stuck.
[QUOTE][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Tahoma]A suitable food on a protein-sparing modified fast would supply most calories as protein; carb and fat calories would be from nutrient-dense sources. Egg yolks, which are rich in phospholipids like choline, and potatoes are good examples of nutrient-dense fat and carb sources.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Tahoma]The easy way to implement this healthy fast: just add eggs, potatoes, and maybe some fish or shellfish (which tend to be protein-rich, and comply with the Catholic guidelines for Friday abstinence) to any of the soups shown above. Heat the soup in the microwave and there you have it: a healthy fast-day meal![/FONT][/COLOR]
