Diet News (again)

Weight down five pounds after five days but I suspect than 80% of it is water loss. I've been thirsty (and therefore drinking) all day. Tomorrow my weight will be up three pounds to 238. So sayeth Paul. Gary Taubes says a couple things in his book that really scare me. He says if you have been fat for a long time, then a low-carb or no-carb diet might take months or years to work and it may never work at all. He also says that most of the initial weight loss is water, so now the hard part begins. On other matters, my bike battery only took me about 22 miles before falling to one bar (out of four). I don't know what that's all about.
