Well, as of this morning, I have officially lost 80 pounds. I have only 20 to go before reaching my goal weight of 236 pounds. It definitely seems to get more and more difficult to lose weight as my body becomes leaner.
I am half way through my third 11 to 3 carb cycle. This strategy requires me to follow a regiment of 11 days low carb (30-45 net carbs ) followed by 3 days of high carb (minimum 190 net carbs, no maximum). The first cycle, I actually gained one pound. The second cycle, I lost about 2 pounds. I am half way through the third cycle and have lost about 5 pounds. In total, my first 5 weeks of 11 to 3 cycling has resulted in about a net loss of 6 pounds. This is about what I was losing when I was on a slightly modified version of protein power. So, my premature conclusion based on only my self is that it works equally well. I am not certain what sort of results my wife has been having.
As my body adjusts to the cycling, it will be interesting to see if the weight loss rate will increase. If so, I may reach my goal very soon. But, I fear that as my body becomes leaner that losing weight is bound to become more difficult...
