    Good work again.

    Do you think your consistency comes from eating the same types and amount of foods? (I'm not even sure you do that though!)

    I find my weight fluctuates with different types of foods (water retention) and of course, my cycles.

    Thanks everyone :)
    I think that by weighing daily and eating low carb for 3 days during the week it helps to keep my weight consistent...I record my weight for the week on Saturday and if by Friday my weight isn't close to my maintenance weight I will eat a small low carb meal of 2 or 3 eggs.

    I think that is probably the key - keeping close tabs on your weight and taking quick action to combat any gain... Seems so very simple, but I’ve never been able to do it! I have hope that I can with OMAD, especially seeing Joe’s and yours and Jim’s results!

    I need to incorporate low carb days during the week.

    Tracey you should try it, I usually do Monday Wednesday and Friday but if I need to change the days I will as long as I have 3 LC days :)

    I think I will do Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday since Monday is my Fast day.

    Lc is hard for me. I think I could do a day or two here and there but linking them together has been bad for me in the past.

    So great that you figured out your very own secret formula. It's really working well for you.

    I have decided on alternate LC days.

    Good plan, alternate days work the best for me!

    Very insightful, Brenda. This is exactly what my dad does to keep his weight consistent (eat less, move more if scale is up).

    I think I'm like @blambo61 in that I can't restrict carbs too much (unless you're talking about net carbs?). I need fiber to help me get regular.
