Nice!! 

Nice work. #letsGO! 

Steven. Did I hear something about a 4 letter word out your way? Snow? #liftheavyorgohome 

haha...only in the foothills...our nights and mornings are cool but it's a balmy 69 F right now...farmers still have a lot of crop to get off yet too...it's been very wet. #winteriscoming 

🎢 ::roller coaster ride:: 😀 

I'll swap you 80 and humid and throw in some nasty thunderstorms for free! Nice drop! 

Ooh winter is coming fast. You're right Sarah. Classic Rocker said my weight history looks like an ECG. :) 

Way to go! 

This is what happens when you EAT carbs? You lose? or are we now restricting again? 

Restricted 4 days, loading 3. It's fun. It works. It's counter-intuitive. 

is there a name to this program? so that we can read about it. 

Would like to know more as well. 

Erika and Norma... it's referred to as carb cycling. It manipulates the system into storing carbs as glycogen instead of fat. (Glycogen is the way lean tissue stores carbohydrate for direct energy.) It works for people who are already fairly lean (I'm around 10% bf) and only for those who are active. The high low carb days though, could be switched to higher calorie lower calorie days for those who are trying to lose weight. If you can control it, this would give you several days of very low calories followed by maintenance calorie days. It would be kind of like light at the end of the tunnel, and would help with stabilizing the endocrine system. 

Nice drop! Steven, I'd love to see some wet here. I can't remember the last rain here in Philadelphia and my grass looks like straw. No rain in the immediate forecast either. 

Thanks. Nowhere near good BF percentage. Working on it.
