My weight this morning is 156.2 which is down 1.8 pounds from this  
same time yesterday and 6.6 pounds overall.

That salsa (or those roasted bell peppers) that I had on Friday night  
caused me to gain water weight that didn't subside until this  
morning.  I will say this: my body is much more efficient right now  
at removing stuff it doesn't like.  Wow.  That's all the details I'll  
add right now in case anyone is having breakfast while reading this.

Day to day energy levels have been up and down.  Workouts are very  
interesting in this way.  Short bursts of energy are there, no  
problem.  So I can complete any single set exercise to the same level  
as before the diet started, if not better.  Sprinting capability is  
there. But my couple of attempts at longer duration exercise  
(running) have been futile.  This seems to directly contradict what  
Phinney found, but it doesn't as he was having his subjects do longer  
exercise -- what we'd consider conventional aerobic exercise.

To me this might mean the paleo hunter, coming off a period of  
carbing, could still engage in normal hunts two or three times a week  
but wouldn't be making the marathon jogging trip to the next savanna  
over.

One last thing I've never mentioned but should.  I am supplementing  
with potassium and magnesium as well as ensuring I get enough salt.   
And I've really been wanting to drink a lot of water every day -- no  
force feeding, just satisfying that desire.
