Doc, so how to explain the weight loss after my sustained red meat diet for 10 days? I admit that I ate no red meat since our return. And I have also resumed my semi sedentary lifestyle. Sat in the courtroom listening to droning mind numbing testimony this morning and more after we get back from lunch.

I've done Atkins and had it work just fine (15yrs ago). I followed it strictly for the first month or so, lost the weight I wanted, then I half-heartedly did it during the week and blew it off completely on weekends and maintained my weight. Then my lifestyle changed and I put on some weight.
Fast forward several years and I'd gained a lot of weight again - slowly. I finally decided to simply count calories and break them up into smaller meals throughout the day. This was a horribly difficult social thing to do, but it worked great. And then my lifestyle changed again radically.
I've always led a semi-sedentary life, but tried to always jog a little in the mornings and just do some situps and pushups. Nothing special, but when I could get into weight lifting (deployed), I always did and it always helped.
Back in the real world, and I simply can't find the time to do a lot of that. I also have slowly, but surely put the weight back on because my lifestyle has changed radically once again.
Now, I just try to eat "real" food. I try to avoid processed anything. I'm trying to find something that will work with my current lifestyle, but that's the real key. Whatever you do has to fit your current lifestyle.
