Allright -- current working hypothesis.
It is not starch that I am needing, rather it is FIBER. I base this upon a couple initial assessments.
-- The trends look almost identical with FIBER as they do with STARCH. See below:

Additionally, I notice stools are very watery and just not right when fiber intake is zero. I think mainstream may be correct after all that you need fiber to flush out toxins. However, the correct amount of fiber remains to be seen, and is likely not very high as I see here. I can get fiber from fibrous fruits though, which means, if fiber is the issue and not starch, then I can still go starch free and get sufficient fiber and this would (maybe) be the optimal solution, if indeed starch and me do not mix (It could explain why the benefits of fiber quickly fall off, as starch quickly becomes a problem digestion wise). All theory of course, until I test it.
This might be my next experiment.
Ok Mr. Flip-Floppity-Flip, it's only taken you approx. 50 minutes to flip from a little starch needed. to no starch needed. This could be a record on the speed of the flip!!
I would be more interested to see your weight as a linear function of time.
There is nowhere on that plot that is in the context of # of days. Am I correct in the understanding that you extrapolated weight loss from a number of calories consumed to 56 days? Or you spent 56 days at each number of calories per day? It's very confusing. If extrapolated, what was the time interval for each set?
Really what I'm looking for is your weight vs calendar days in a linear fashion.
Some starch at night is good.
Have you considered taking daily aspirin to improve glucose oxidation and raise temps? I think Peat takes some regularly.
@Cirion check out this post with special attention to the 3rd and 4th paragraph(but they are all pretty good):
B2 I love you!
The same person who wrote this post also said a b-complex can deplete riboflavin because riboflavin is needed by all the other B's to work. So basically she says need to replete riboflavin first and IIRC B1 and then work out from there.
Another interesting tidbit is that riboflavin depletes manganese and then the poo will go cream colored, not dark. I have witnessed this phenomenon.
Do what you got to do, Cirion. It will be pleasure to hear from you again.So just a quick fyi I've let a few people know already via pm but I have decided for a few various reasons to temporarily quit the forum (at least public posting). I may very well return from my break in some time.
I may still post now and then but it will be infrequent relative to before. This doesn't mean I have abandoned my journey (far from it!)
I still will respond to PM's if people like to discuss things with me.
Have a high metabolic day all =)
It also seems to dump accumulated iron from the liver.I have been looking to riboflavin a lot lately as well. Riboflavin seems to also be required to take copper out of cells. Supposedly high dose riboflavin is supposed to be able to remove moles, which are melanin of course which comes from tyrosinase which uses copper.
I did not realize that, thank you for bringing it to my attention. I been hitting the organs and glands pretty hard.Is there no surprise then how nature's most superior foods(organs) are almost all ridiculously high in riboflavin?
It's a theory I am working right now but with B1 and B3 added.Perhaps it's more so important to replete the riboflavin beyond everything else
So much to learn, thanks for the link.

Is there no surprise then how nature's most superior foods(organs) are almost all ridiculously high in riboflavin? All sugar and fat(energy) depletes riboflavin, fat more so, and organs(which are lean generally) and to a lesser extent eggs and milk provide riboflavin and somewhat respectable quantities. By organs knock out everything else out the park. Perhaps it's more so important to replete the riboflavin beyond everything else. Even high dose B1 according to that link can actually make B2 status worse. So much to learn, thanks for the link.
