I managed to average even more than a 500 cal deficit for the week! I did a little bit less exercise than usual, but it was an especially busy week.
I also started to follow some of the ideas behind McDougall’s Starch Solution, which mostly involved reintroducing things like pasta and potatoes, while eating less fats. No complaints here 🙂 It feels like every night is a cheat meal! (I may have gone a little bit crazy with the homemade high carb low fat pizzas out of initial excitement…)
