I have one of those that I bought a couple of years ago...I fluctuate 4-5 lbs. each day, but if I weigh at the same time in the morning, it seems to be consistent.

Yesterday. I grow a goatee that fast.

I don't know, sometime last year before I started dieting.

All of my weight loss has been from not eating carbs.

I shaved off all my facial hair after I took that pic this morning.

It's been so long since I've seen my face without a mustache.

Awwwwww yeeeeeeeah!

Last night I ate 2 Boca Burgers for lack of my friend not having anything else Keto Friendly.

I've been farting all this morning. I haven't farted since December, lol.

Sauna night. I've gotten to where I really look forward to it. Saturday morning, I'm meeting with the personal trainer at 9am before going to my sauna appointment at 10am. Can't wait! After Monday evening, she'll have a program designed specifically for me that targets my goals.

I ranked the following in order of importance:

1. Fat Loss
2. Improved health
3. More endurance
4. More strength
5. More power
6. More muscle mass
7. Specific sports training
8. Gain weight

You should just cut out your carbs and all of those will happen.

Sorry. I refuse to simply cut out a food group. What happens when I start eating them again? They are important to the body for a reason. I've just learned moderation and to try to eat any carbs early in the day. That way, I have the remainder of the day to burn them off. I'm not doing any special diet. I'm changing the way I eat, and learning more about what's good for my body. This way, it's a lifestyle change, and not just a diet (which would eventually end).

The personal trainer made a good point to me when I met with her the other night. It's not that Americans can't lose weight. Thousands do it all the time. The main problem is that Americans don't know how to properly maintain a lower weight. That's what I'm hoping to accomplish.

Carbs are not important to your body for any reason and you should probably not eat them ever again.

Function
The primary function of carbohydrates is to provide energy for the body, especially the brain and the nervous system. An enzyme called amylase helps break down carbohydrates into glucose (blood sugar), which is used for energy by the body.

Side Effects
Getting too many carbohydrates can lead to an increase in total calories, causing obesity.
Not getting enough carbohydrates can cause a lack of calories (malnutrition), or excessive intake of fats to make up the calories.

And increasing fats? Depends on the fat. There are good types of fat and bad types of fat. You're increasing fats to make up for the lack of calories you're denying your body from not eating any carbs. If you're going to go with no carbs, I hope you research what kinds of fats are good for you before just eating anything you want.
