Weighing daily - secrets I've discovered

I've been logging my weight daily for some time and plotting it on an excel chart. I know that my weight fluctuates so I decided to log daily so I could see patterns that emerge - it would help me do the right thing day after day.
I added my calories to help with pattern recognition after a few weeks
Then I added exercise
Then my water consumption.
Then my macros instead of just calories
Then categorised exercise as weights vs. cardio
Then quality of sleep - then quantity
After several months of logging I've concluded that:
- protein shakes and cardio on tuesdays lead to a weight loss as long as I have less than 7 hours of restless sleep.
- however if I have brocolli or it's a full mooon then my weight goes up.
- If I lift heavy on a Tuesday then I will gain weight the next day but lose weight on Friday as long as I don't have scrambled eggs on Wednesday - having them on Thursday is ok as long as my chicken salad has cherry tomatoes.
- 4 cups of tea a day are ok as long as they're from my Mr Tickle mug, if I have them from the blue mug then I'll gain weight.
I think I need to put this down in a secrets of weight loss book, this stuff is gold dust, I could make a fortune from this scientific research.

For a Brit this is very important information, get it out there!! Now where did I put that Mr Tickle mug...?0 -
It's truly no crazier than most of the broscience permeating this forum. Thanks for the giggle.
Also, are you going to start manufacturing and selling the Mr. Tickle mug? I feel that it's very selfish of you to keep the secret of the Mr. Tickle mug to yourself and not share with the world.0 -
Thank you for this. You made my morning.:laugh:0

I would buy 100 Mr. Tickle mugs.0

May be the best post ever on MFP. Hilarious and makes an excellent point!0

Brilliant! You're a genius! :laugh:
Do you lose weight quicker if you always start off on your left foot? What about on Thursdays?0 -
I want to try the Mr Tickle diet - I've heard it's really good and will help me lose 10lbs a week. I know it's a bit radical but what do you guys think?0

Haha! That's brilliant! :laugh:0
