@Voxel Just following up. Good call! I held my carbs at 250g. Once again, my weight jumped that first week, but for the first time I didn’t drop cals just because it went over 180. Sure enough, over the next 3 weeks my weight has dropped back down about 2.5 lb and I was 178.8 as of this morning. On to 300g carbs next week!
Funny thing is by my third straight week at the higher carbs, I started feeling hungry all the time, and even looking flat again in the mornings! All this for a guy who’s been traditionally afraid of eating any more than 100g of carbs in a day.
