Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / December 2004lost weight over Christmas vacation
Hehe. I lost 1.7 pounds while vacationing with relatives in Southern California. I was gone for 6 days. This was cool because instead of eating until I was no longer hungry, I spent the week eating until full. I kept a log of my foods and estimated quantities, which I have now entered into Fitday. I averaged 1877 calories per day for the week. The week just prior to going, I had averaged 1378 per day. I'm going back to my more restrictive routine. I see my loss during Christmas week as a reward for earlier good behavior. I usually see my body as responding to dieting efforts or failures that happened about 3 weeks before. I had been guessing that I was averaging 2500 calories per day. The 1877 estimate is a pleasant surprise. I stayed low carb. My net carbs per day went up to 33, but that is still OK. > Hehe.

It may seem so for airheads filled with helium. Doesn't apply to visitors, though.

You should stay at the higher calories for a couple of weeks more to test this theory. If you don't continue to lose, you can go back to the lower calories. >Hehe.
