That is an impressive one day weight loss now if you can just keep it up for 8 weeks without binging maybe you can achieve your goal.

whaaaaaaaaat, thats CRAZEE.well done!!
Yes, I was very surprised. I was expecting to lose 2 maybe 3 pounds. A five pound loss was beyond my imagination. I had to weigh myself twice on 2 different scales to believe it. I guess my metabolism was all reved up from the "binging" last week and the combination of 1200 calories and an hour of exercise just burned fat and water fast, but I am just about 1 1/2 pounds down from where I was when I injured my knee and decided to take a break from my weight loss program.
I'm just taking it one day at a time and I have not binged today...
Now you just have to keep that up for 26 days and then another 28 days and we will know if your "customized rotation diet" is working.

Great to read that your knee is healed and that you're back with your rotating calorie diet regimen. I look forward to reading about your continued success. A 5lb loss already is fantastic.

Yes, the ability to exercise is crucial to my weight loss program. To date I've lost a total of 60 lbs. The rotation is crucial to keeping my metabolism rate up.

60lbs? Incredible.
Congrats on making it through another 1200 calorie day. I feel you. I'm eating 1200 a day too. It's tough. You rule.

That is why I am now alternating 1200 and 1500 days. I don't think I could have continued on Katahn's diet. Those 3 day stretches of 1200 calories were just too tough.

Do you gain a little bit in between these fantastic losses or is this pure loss?
It's a curious diet plan - but it seems effective!
I use to do 1200 calorie days with about 90 grams of meat and a huge pile of hearty veggies (broccoli, carrots, beans). It's lots of food without sugar and very low carbs...not that you need my input, you are doing great!
What's the name of the concept of this diet? I want to look into it.
I customized Katahn's rotation diet to work best for me. Basically the rotation diet works on the principle that you rotate your calories between 1200/1500/1800 (and on my diet by 100 calories increments up to 2100) so that your metabolism does not slow. The rotation diet has always worked for me. I once lost 78 lbs. on it and this time I have already lost about 65 pounds in less than 4 months. The only time I gain weight is when I binge or when I am building muscle by lifting weights.

Thanks Sweety! Another tough 1200 calorie day for me, but I am getting through it by eating lots of fruits and vegetables and smoking lots of...
