I Ate a Whole Chocolate Bar — 48 Hours Later

Two days ago, I ate a whole chocolate bar. This morning, the scale's nearly back. Here's why.

📊 Day 54 biomarkers:

Weight: Bounced back after 48-hour spike
Eating window: 3 hours (12:45–15:45)
Calories: ~1,200
Plants: 18 different varieties
Meals: Red pepper soup, sesame basa, sweet potato, Finn crisps with pâté

The spike wasn't fat. It was water. Sugar triggers insulin, insulin stores glycogen, glycogen holds water. 600 days of tracking taught me to trust the pattern, not panic at the number.
