So true. So I upped hydration the last few days. A lot. And I think that was definitely the reason or the scale pause. So, I'm losing about a pound a week. Thats perfect and expected for what I'm doing. Slower then the last time I did it, but I'll be content if this continues.

That's an awesome reference. Thank you.

Thank you for those calculations. That makes more sense. I do watch my calories like a hawk and I weigh everything. Slowly starting to pay more attention to my macros as well. I'm thinking water may be a big factor here. Based on other comments. My muscle gain has to be a lot more then when I did this before. Most of my…

Considering you have paleo in your s/n I should assume thats how you eat. THAT is lifestyle. I'm sorry but the low-carb Atkins diet is a FAD. Eating for your body, and eating the things your body needs to function is a lifestyle. How is craving protein toxic?
