Update!
I am on day 3 of no alcohol and just the ganj...
Eating the same... last night I had a big greasy pork roast thing that my neighbor cooked, with spaghetti-squash and potato pancakes.
Dropped 3 pounds already!
woot.
I guess it's true that that beer with dinner DOES make your body metabolize fat differently! It wasn't like I was drinking more than a beer or 2 a night even. So the difference is only about 200 calories a day... but no alcohol.
