Day 53: Interrupted Plateau, Day 2

It looks, as of now, like the Plateau Buster only works for plateaus. After the second day of using the technique for a pre-plateau situation, I've found that my weight has dropped to where it was the day after the previous use of the technique. So, it looks like using the Plateau Buster to force weight gain in the absence of a plateau doesn't work very well.

I've also found that the use of more sugar-concentrated foods (such as the chocolate-covered biscuits I consumed this morning) doesn't make that much of a difference when compared to eating bulkier sugared foods with the same calorie level, such as donuts or danishes. Sugar seems to be essential, but the concentration isn't. All in all, if you plan to use the Plateau Buster, you'd get about the same effect through using sweetbreads as you would using, say, candies. Further caveat: it may not work at all for some people, as my digestive makeup may be unusual.

The above being said, though, the Plateau Buster has had the usual effect.


Weight as of approx. 6 PM today: 220 pounds.
