Thanks for visiting dunkbonds.com, the dormant Rails app I built to gamify charitable contributions toward personal goals, piloted around my goal to dunk. You'll notice I have made zero effort to update its style, so it still harkens back to its original 2011-era mint.com inspiration, when it was likely already looking pretty dated. Have a click around!

A New Diet Strategy, and I Fell Down Some Stairs

Last night I took the fast way down the last four steps when taking the trash out and landed on my left hip/back/ilium/whatever.  It was painful, but I think I came out with just a bruise.  This should not affect the DUNKbond yield.

In other news, I'm four days into a new fat loss strategy:  basically a very strict low carb diet during the week plus a weekly, cheat day carb binge (which, counter-intuitively, can actually promote fat loss.)  It's derived from a mix of the 4-hour body slow-carb plan, and on Kiefer's thoughts (quick and dirty insulin spikes, plus a few carb backloads after workouts.)

How is this any different than what I've been doing?  In a word, compliance.  An underlying goal of DUNK is to change habits to focus on the goal, and compliance is a good metric.  The chart below is how I've rated my meals based on a +3 to -3 scale.  As you can see, I've been spotty on compliance for a while.  The flat line at the end denotes that I've been perfect so far this week:



For those of you on iOS who can't see the chart, here is a static image:

The diet actually hasn't been too bad, but I'm looking forward to Saturday.  There will be Little Star.
