On October 20, my weight reached 74.65 kg. I thought that could not be right because I was still 75.4 kg on October 19. I rarely lost more than 0.5 kg in a day. Sure enough, as I continued with my “eat until full” trial, my weight climbed back to 75.3 kg as of today. My guess is that the unusual loss was due to the fact that I wasn’t eating to my fill and that I was especially tired on October 19.

I haven’t found my Goldilock combination that still ensures weight loss while keeping my belly full during the eating window.

In searching for that magic combination, I experimented with eating more non-poultry meat, such as beef and pork. I had a triple burger and a grilled pork rice bowl during the days when my weight increased. Interestingly, I felt fuller eating grilled chicken breasts than the burger and the pork rice bowl. I think I should try to go back to chicken meat, and add more fiber to maintain the fullness.
