>First, I have to thank TJ for his advice on this,
No sweat bud! Glad I could help.

Sometimes the changes that occur during
weightloss aren't measurable via the scale.
Sometimes you'll see results, and other
times you'll just feel them.. (clothes fitting
more loosely, etc.)

Without getting too technical, suffice it to say
that it has to do with stimulating the thyroid.
After about 1-2 months of strict low-carb the
thyroid ceases to produce enough T3 and instead
makes more storage T4. (a starvation-like
response). In essence, your metabolic rate slows.
This can be defeated by consuming a minimum
of 50g of glucose periodically. This jumpstarts
a slow thryoid and prevents the plateau that
most who attempt a "strict Atkins" type approach
hit..
(the root cause can be found in the study of
paleo-biology and human evolution..)

It seems counterintuitive yes.. But, then again, so
does eating more fat (less carbs) to lose bodyfat ;-)
Good job Bud!

I noticed the same effect when I installed my DynoJet
stage 1 kit. Shifting from first to second the bike feels
like it's being up-throttled, even when it's not.. The
XX engine just produces so much torque that when you
play with the powerband you notice it more.. (my hunch)

I gots no probs with da throttle, but heck, that clutch is
tough enough to wear you out if you're stuck in
stop-n-go traffic for 30 mins! (and I gotta strong grip
too! ;-) )

Believe it or not, Lyle and I were on a Keto-diet list
about 7 years ago when keto-diets were taboo.
He, I, a guy named Jeff Crabbe, and a few others
slowly banged out variants of keto-diets that worked
best for each and every one of us..
At the time, he was living in Austin, and I went
for a visit. This was at the time when he was putting
the book together. I had no idea he had finished it.
Guess I better look him up and congratulate him ;-).
Here's a shot of me raggin' on him at Windy Point
Park.. (he's on the left)
:cool: TJ :cool:
Has anyone read Lyle McDonald's book, The Ketogenic Diet?If so, do you recomend it?

Only 3 inches? Sounds like you may have used "shortening"
instead of oil...

Yep, and you probably won't hit a plateau either
Synthroid is essentially T3.
However, there are other factors that come into play
as well. Your best bet is, like Carlos, to allow yourself
to have one (mabey 2) "blowoff" meal on the weekend.
It will have a positive difference.
