I’m writing on a topic that is very close to me right now, as I am going through a very stressful time in my life.
I’ve experienced it before. When the stress piles up, the pounds of fat that had melted away so easily before would come rushing back with a vengeance.
Taking a good look at myself, I decided that I am not going to let that happen this time and see what steps I could take to keep the weight off. The most obvious was beer. When in times of stress or depression, I tend to go out much more often than normal. Being in a happy social atmosphere helps with stress and sadness, but the presence of beer, almost always accompanied by some kind of snack, makes this a nightmare from a weight loss perspective.
The diet I have been following doesn’t really have any allowances for frequent drinking and eating out, so I decided to go back to an old friend.
ATKINS
I’ve spent the past week or so doing basically the maintenance phase of atkins. While I can’t have beer, it does allow distilled alcohols, and doesn’t restrict meat or cheese. So I’ve been ‘dieting’ at a Japanese izakaya a lot lately.

I’m happy to say that while I’m not losing any weight, I haven’t started going up either, which is also important for long term weight loss.

Solid blog. I got a lot of good information. I’ve been watching this technology for awhile. It’s fascinating how it keeps changing, yet some of the core factors remain the same. Have you seen much change since Google made their most recent acquisition in the domain?

I Liked reading this post. Quite some usefull fitness info in it for me
. And after reading this i think you will really like the book Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle. To me this is like the health and fitness bible. Last year i lost almost 25 pounds and gained an inch on my arms in 12 weeks. What you describe here does resemble the book a bit, but there is so much more! I added the link in my name so you dont have to search for it 
. Again, nice post and i hope you keep it up!
