Thank you so much for posting this. This is the end of my 3rd week of Leigh's OPT for Fatloss and I have no scale loss, although my GWF deficit would indicate a 3.5 lb loss. It was VERY VERY encouraging to read the link. I had again begun to get discouraged, and what happens then is that I easily can lose control of my food limits.

The next OPT week is low calorie and very high protein at a 50%protein, 35%fat, 25%carb ratio and in order to hit those macros, my carbs will have to be low glycemic vegies and some little fruit. Maybe that will cause a whoosh! I think I'll be really careful to hit those macros.
