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...?

    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.

    Brilliant! You're a genius! :laugh:
    Do you lose weight quicker if you always start off on your left foot? What about on Thursdays?

    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?
