Its been one week since I completed the diet! Here are my current composition stats:
Weight: 184.5
Waist: 34"
Neck: 15.50
Bicep: 13.75
Body fat: 21.9% (bathroom scale)
Body fat: 15% (Navy Tables)
In the past week I have gained a couple of pounds and 1/2 inch on my waste. I actually thought I would gain more than this since I assumed that I had lost several pounds of water given the low salt and carbohydrate content of the diet.
I have probably transitioned back to my maintenance level of calories (~2700/day) too quickly but the composition of my diet is much better than it was. The biggest changes are those recommended by Berardi:
5-8 meals a day, veggies/fruit with each meal , at least 200g protein, etc.
This seems to be working for me so I'll continue and keep monitoring. I just ordered a pair of calipers since there seems to be consensus that this is the most accurate mechanism short of paying for a submersion test.
