You hit the nail on the head!! This is EXACTLY where I screwed up last night. My kids have been begging for chicken parmesan, so I finally fixed it for dinner last night (my primal friendly version...

Thanks for the reply heatseeker! Your suggestion is pretty close to what I decided to try. This morning I switched from ELOO to CO. I also decided to up my fat intake a little bit, thus increasing...

Not sure what has happened, but it appears that my weight loss has stalled and I'm looking for a few suggestions from some with experience using SLD. I've been weighing the same for ~10 days. I've...

Hi All -- just a weekly check-in to let you know how I'm doing. Guess I've reached a mini-plateau. I've weighed 135.1 all week, but I guess it's better than gaining. My clothes are fitting better,...

Some more success for me. Yesterday I reached my low point of 134.7 (a 7.4lb loss), but I'm back up today to 135.1. I took some quick measurements over the weekend and it looks like I may have lost...

Thanks! Hopefully I won't sobotage myself over the weekend (which is typically the case). I've developed a strong liking for Shocktop Honey Crisp Apple (I've got to get those things out of the house!)

It's been about a week since I checked in and thought I'd give everyone an update. I slacked off a bit for 4-5 days but it didn't seem to hurt me terribly bad.

Starting Weight: 1/9 -- 142.1 lbs...

Daily Check in: another 1.4 lbs lost magically overnight! I think I'm down about 5.3 lbs from when I started last week. Also my scale is showing a reduction in BF% (I know BF scales can be flakey,...

Reporting in -- another .4lb drop today so I'm at a total of 3.9lbs lost. I'm very close to my stall point so it will be interesting to see over the next few days if the SLD "trick" will help push...

So, I appear to be following heatseeker's cycle. I dropped the 1.5lb weight gain that I experienced yesterday. This has been incredibly easy to follow, even while at work. I keep a bottle of extra...

Today I experienced a 1.5lb weight gain. I'm glad I was warned to expect it otherwise I'd be scratching my head trying to figure out where I messed up!

SLD is definitely moving me in the right direction. I'm not quite to the weight where I typically stall (137lb), but very close. At the rate I'm going, I should reach that weight tomorrow or Wed, so...

Also interesting to note, I found on the SLD forums many discussions of using something other than oil or sugar water, such as regular food. You just need to do the nose-pinch thing so that you can't...

gopintos: in response to your earlier post regarding calorie counts --
I track my calorie intake in MFP. This is what I have recorded so far:
Mon - 1251 (regular diet)
Tue - 1306 (regular diet)...

I had almost the same results at marthat. I had my first spoonful of oil late afternoon. I was still hungry at dinner, but if didn't take much before I was full. I didn't have much interest in the...

I've decided to jump on board with the experiment! I tried the potato thing with zero success. I keep losing and regaining the same 5lbs. My low weight was 117 and I stayed there for a long time (up...

Friday update on the potato fast:
Potato Experiment Stats:
10/8: 139.5
10/9: 140.9
10/10: 140.6
10/11: 140.4
10/12: 140.2

At the rate I'm going I'll hit my starting weight after one full...

Happy to hear that others are having great results on this. I'm just extremely jealous and very disappointed that I'm not seeing anything!

I just got around to reading this thread. It was nice to see that I'm not the only one out there with the same problem! As I've aged and had kids, the weight has crept up. I'm 5'7" and have an...

So far the potato fast experiment is not doing anything miraculous for me except giving me bad indigestion.

Potato Experiment Stats:
10/8: 139.5
10/9: 140.9
10/10: 140.6
10/11: 140.4

Regarding some of the previous posts on running: I ran 13 miles on Monday without an energy issue. Granted, this was the first day of the potato fast. I had some potatoes prior to my run and...

My thoughts too. No rice today!

I just went back and looked at my log. Here's the exact numbers:

Day 1: 770g potatoes (~1.76lb), 400g rice
Day 2: 1100g potatoes (~2.52lb), 280g rice

Day 1 was ~2lbs, Day 2 was ~2.5lbs

Day 3 for me on the potato experiment. No weight loss (yet), but since this has been easy for me to follow I'm not quitting. I've been weighing my little potatoes before I eat them and logging all...
