I'm no expert but have been SLD for 20 days now. Unfortunately, I
havent been able to locate a copy of the book yet so I'm not sure
all Anchell has to say about the diet. I got the basics of the
diet from the list. Unfortunately I neither measured or weighed
myself at the beginning of the diet. I have lost over 'a belt notch'
in 2 weeks, from somewhat tight at 5 to a loosish 4 notch. I purchased
the software Diet Power over the weekend more of interest to track
nutrients and such but have started weighing myself. Also, I ordered
and just recieved MyoTape for circumference measurements and a body
fat caliper to give that a go. I am inexperienced with the caliper
but hope to check it against body circumference measurement fat
analysys via http://www.mybodycomp.com/
Besides the diet I have restarted some weightlifting that I had to stop
due to a knee dislocation last December. As low carb diets tend to
conserve lean mass and weightlifting tends to help, I dont think
I a losing much lean. It will be interesting to really test this
'feeling' with some body comp analysis. Like I said, wish I would
have done this all at the start :)

<snip!> Theory about pyruvate sounds pretty sketchy to me both ways. I 'seem'
to be losing faster following this diet however compared to
my usual low carb approach. But I'm also being stricter with my diet
to give it a fair shake. So who knows in my case :)

<snip!> Starting to objectively measure. Subjectively, most of my
weight seems to be coming off my waist, but that is also where I tend
to carry my fat. Weightlifting may help conserve lean mass. I'm getting
stronger right now, but then everyone does when starting up (again).

No idea, would be interested to here what Anchell has to say. In my
experience, I have a fairly easy time with maintenance with a low carb
approach. I can overeat (feast) a time or two a week without affecting
my weight up or down. Over time tho, I tend to creep up in increments.
My injury had a bad effect over about 6 months on my weight unfortunately.

After another 3-4 weeks on SLD I think I am going to give the
Metabolic Diet a go. It is a cyclic low carb/high carb diet similar
to NHE and others. To me it has a good combo of benefits and with the
occasional high carb feedings may be a good diet for me where I dont
feel deprived at times.
