Re: [fast5] gaining weight on fast five?

Just a couple of thoughts:

1. How do your clothes fit? Do you FEEL better? Fat calipers
are a better measurement than "weight" by a long shot.

2. Re-weigh yourself in a week. 3 lbs is what, 3pints of water?
I can vary by 5 lbs in one day, no prob.

3. Just log it. One data point doesn't mean much.

I say this partly because my very well-proportioned daughter
weighs a good 30 lbs more than *I* did at her age and height.
She has muscle, I had fat. Her bones are thick and strong: mine
were not. None of us can tell, from an email, how you are REALLY
doing, but if you are eating well and not too much, it's likely you
will eventually become more condensed, and you will grow muscle,
which weighs a lot.

If you need numbers, I'd suggest a scale that gives you a fat percentage.
Though, what I mainly learned from those is how much my water
percentage varies throughout the day. Fat doesn't really go up and
down rapidly, but water does.

I've been strictly keeping in line with the fasting hours and most days eaten below my usual daily caloric consumption. i have changed my diet a bit in the past few days to experiment with the high fat low carb diets that most people are saying is helping them lose weight.  i've been eating more eggs, meats and cheeses than carbs, which usually makes up most of my diet usually.  on this diet, i feel more satisfied, quicker and easier, and feel less pushed to keep eating (as with the high carb diet i've been on).  but i've gained! its odd, since i usually eat this way, before i started on fast five, so i expected to contribute to weight loss rather than gain! does anyone have any advice on this?
