Thanks a lot for the warm welcomes and loads of advice, guys. It's appreciated, really, but unnecessary...I should have just allowed patience to be my guide. I just got off my first week of the UD, and even after a relatively sloppy carbload, followed by two days of what should have been maintenance calories - but due to a family visitor, quickly degraded into two days of constant eating out and cheating on any self-respecting builder's diet - I STILL managed to gain a pound and drop an entire, muthafucking percent in bodyfat.

Seriously...about that. Is my clinic's body comp machine on the fritz? or is a 7-day drop from 13.6% to 12.4% to be expected on so scholarly a diet?

Careful not to max out my thread by the way...after the last inflow of feedback I don't know how much more my eyes can handle.
