Each New Pound Off, An Annual Low

I'm now about 3 pounds below my prior annual low and about 3 pounds off a new multi-annual low since late 2013.  I actually got here recently but as usual spent a few days bouncing off the low. So I'm hopeful I'll drop another couple of pounds over the coming week.

I hadn't looked at newer nutritional studies over the past decade and recently came aware of the benefits of resistant starch (e.g., cold cooked potatoes). I also bought a paleo diet pack from Thrive Market, which includes a jar of ghee. I have to think of how to use that because I don't really fry entrees, but I may try cooking eggs in a very limited amount. (I also have bottles of extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil in my pantry, which I usually use for salads.) I ordered some potato starch with that order. I'm also doing a daily drink with dashes of apple cider vinegar and lemon juice and put a limited amount of coconut oil and cinnamon in my daily cup of coffee. I don't know to what effect these will have on my diet, but we'll see.
