    I looked back a few weeks and did not see any days you dropped below 140g carb. Your carb levels are fine. In addition to what the scale is doing a great judge of ones diet is their mood, energy level and cravings. So long as those are all good, and the scale is moving in the right direction, you do not need to worry about arbitrary guidelines that are not in line with your particular goals. Carbs are the best macro to adjust when one needs to reduce calories.

    Well, thank you Mr. schwarzenegger. So kind of you to make time to post your comment. By the way de novo genesis is just a technical term meaning the process of creating (genesis) something new (de novo). And gluconeogenesis is indeed that - note the usage of similar terms like neo = de novo, and of course genesis = genesis. But, that's ok, I wasn't expecting you to think that hard. And oh by the way, I took a peek at your diary...I see you have macdonalds, and chik-fil-a and related high quality foods on a regular basis. OMG, what a genius. Shall I follow your advice instead?

    What does this have to do with weight loss?

    I'll agree with everyone who said it doesn't matter really what you eat as long as you're under your calorie goal... HOWEVER, that is only if losing weight is your only goal. I'd shudder to see what a longtime diet of McD's would do to someone's body, even if they were losing weight while on it. BLECH!
