I've lost ten pounds in less than a week. Virtually all of that is water, of course, but even so, it indicates that the diet is doing what low-carb diets are supposed to do. I wrote in my journal that in some ways this diet is reminiscent of the Zone, but without the tight control of fats.

Clearly, what was blocking my progress on zero carb and other low-carb approaches, this time around, was overindulgence in protein, due to following the "unlimited meat" principle. There was a time when that worked for me, but that time is past.
