day 4

Finally seeing some results now. 

Weight: 191.6
Body Fat% 20.5

Questioning how accurate the body fat analyzer is, it seems to just fluctuate randomly.

Day 3 results

Weight: 194.4
Body Fat %: 20

Day 2

Today I had the same breakfast as yesterday. A protein shake as soon as I wake up and then scrambled eggs with veggies and salsa. Lunch was the same also, chipotle salad with double meat and all salsas plus guacamole. For dinner I picked some rotes sire chicken from public and ate half of that plus some black beans. I also started the PAGG supplements today. I'll post separately about them later.

Weight: 193.4
Body Fat %: 20.5

So weight went down but body fat went up. Not sure if it's related to me missing workouts this week or if the fat measurement tool is just inconsistent. Hopefully after a week's data I'll know more.

Day 1 measurements

I plan on measuring body weight and fat % every day and using the tape measurements once a week.  Here are the results after day one.  As expected no real change yet.

Weight:  194.4
Body Fat%:  19.8

Day 1

Today was the first day I started the slow carb diet.  I had a pure protein shake for breakfast.  I like this one (link below) since it has very low carbs and has about 25-30 grams of protein.  This is the only way I can eat ASAP after waking up.  When I got to work I had egg beaters with spinach, mushrooms, scallions and salsa.  At lunch I went to chipotle and got a salad with beans, double meat (chicken and steak), tomato, corn, medium salsa, as well as guacamole.  For dinner I had about 1/2 pound of salmon and some frozen vegetables.  I drank 64 ounces of water during the day and also had 12 oz coke zero.  At night I used a icepack as the book suggested on the back of my neck for about 1/2 hour.  Here's the link to the icepack I bought as well as the protein powder:

Jan 2nd measurements

Here are the measurements from before day one.  I've also included the bodyfat monitor and the measurement tape links on amazon.  I highly recommend measuring body weight, fat, and inches.  This way you get multiple variables to measure.
