So it seems I've gone off the diet deep end. On April 11th I had my first visit at the Wharton Clinic. I was weighed and measured and had brief counselling. The thing that stuck in my head was to raise my protein and fibre and maintain my carbs. Well that has manifested as lower my carbs and send my protein through the roof!
I have spent the evening making a spreadsheet of my calorie, protein, and carbs totals for each day since April 12th. (My willpower and spreadsheets tend to have a co-relation, so this is a good sign). But while looking at all the numbers I realized that there might just be too much of a good thing going on here... So with a little "googling" I found that going 30% above the daily recommended intake of protein is a bad thing. Plus my carbs are too low and my calories are too low when I look back at the sheet with my measurements and recommendations from the clinic.
In closing I will have to tweak my "intake" (plus increase my exercise, I'm lacking hardcore there) . On the bright side, it is apparent that I don't have to worry so much about a treat here or there. :)

P.S. Weigh-in on Friday.
