    Hehe. I lost 1.7 pounds while vacationing with relatives in Southern
    California. I was gone for 6 days.

    This was cool because instead of eating until I was no longer hungry, I
    spent the week eating until full. I kept a log of my foods and estimated
    quantities, which I have now entered into Fitday. I averaged 1877 calories
    per day for the week. The week just prior to going, I had averaged 1378 per
    day.

    I'm going back to my more restrictive routine. I see my loss during
    Christmas week as a reward for earlier good behavior. I usually see my body
    as responding to dieting efforts or failures that happened about 3 weeks
    before.

    I had been guessing that I was averaging 2500 calories per day. The 1877
    estimate is a pleasant surprise.

    I stayed low carb. My net carbs per day went up to 33, but that is still
    OK.

    Isn't the Earth's gravitational pull a little less in So. Cal?

    It's more likely that you've been eating below your BMR for too long and by
    eating more calories while you were on vacation, you've pumped up your
    metabolism. You should stay at the higher calories for a couple of weeks
    more to test this theory. If you don't continue to lose, you can go back
    to the lower calories.

    It may seem so for airheads filled with helium. Doesn't apply to
    visitors, though.

    You! That's a fact. Has to do with a much smaller cranium and gray matter.
