Good point, i'll have to look.
Our grocery store has a section that is all-natural, organic stuff. Between that section, and the produce section, I should have a pretty good variety. :D I've never bought organic food before, so I'll be sure to read labels, but I imagine it must be much healthier, without all those chemicals and *crap* :P |

| Since I had this little slip-up which caused me to gain 3lbs, should I start back on day 1 of P1?...or just keep eating healthy on day 6 of P1 |

| It's likely all water weight from replenishing glycogen stores in your body which also store water along with it. Much of what you lose in P1 is water weight from depleting those same glycogen stores when you reduce the "easy carbs" in P1. So easy go, easy come to a certain extent. Keep drinking water and you'll be fine. It's not unusual to gain a few pounds or stall a bit when entering P2 for the same reasons. (just to warn you!) Also a luvs_torun noted, weigh at the same time every day for comparability, usually in the morning before you eat anything is your lowest weight during the day. If you weigh multiple times during the day, it's pretty meaningless info as your weight can go up and down 5 lbs easy during the course of the day and then overnight. Just for fun sometime, weigh yourself before you go to bed and then again when you wake up after your morning "duties" and see how much you "lost"! ;) Scales are an easy indicator of "progress" but highly inaccurate as to actual fat loss and highly variable due to a wide variety of factors most of which aren't even related to what we actually eat most of the time. |

I usually weigh myself in the morning when I wake up. Occassionally I weigh myself before bed--but I don't take that number into account too seriously, because it is after a whole day of eating. I base my weight loss on the morning number.
What about those scales that measure how much of your weight is fat...how does that work? Are they accurate??
I have a regular scale right now, but if those are worth the investment, I'll do it. |

a scale is not the best measurement of your success just the fastest and easiest. measurements are better... etc...
even if i weigh everyday I don't worry about it. |
