Next week I planned and added 2 tbsp of grains daily and this experiment ended with my weight up to 96,8. Next three days I was in Paris eating according to previous protocol (protein and vege, fat) for each meal and I planned a glass of wine everyday (once I had 2 glasses). I ate once a banana. Surprisingly weight go down to 95,3 kg ( – 1,5 kg /3,3 lb). The only difference was, that I walked about 4 km daily. I came home – I stick to the protocol ( no wine) and in one day I gain 0,8 kg / 1,8 lb to 96,1 kg. Is it water? So I am back to the Dec,2. I would like to ask you for help and advice …What should I do to start loosing again? I lost my ability to predict what can work for me – maybe I should make smaller than recommended portions? add more exercising ? ( I usually have 2-3 classes of aquaerobic a week)
C: my weight is up and down for 2 lb for last 3 weeks.
T: tried different approach to protocol, not working
F: frustration
A: keep the meat, fat, vege protocol, search for the new ideas
R: the same weight

Christmas plan – to the “normal protocol” I would like to add 1,5 glass of wine daily and 3 oz of cake (no sugar, no flower).
At Christmas Eve I will add 3 tbsp of grains. Is it ok?

Please let me know, how to plan protocol for this week to really loose weight before Christmas. All the best for you and your family!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
