Up to date results

This post is a continuation of the first post where I talked about how intermittent fasting can help reduce weight and reported about my progress. Today I will provide some status updates.

The projected weight and body fat for the 5th week were

• 84.1 kg (185.4 lb), and 27 % respectively. What actually happened check in the table below.

My current weight as of 2022-07-22 is 81.3 kg (179.2 lb) and body fat 26.2 %.

The projected weight and body fat for the beginning of 7th week are

• 80.7 kg (178.35 lb), and 25.9 % respectively.

Some math

By the way, in accordance with the book The Complete Guide to Fasting by Dr. Jason Fung the average daily body fat loss is about 1/2 pound, which is about 0.23 kg. I see exactly this thing happening.

What I observe is

• The slope of the fat loss line is – 0.5 pound/day.
• Also 0.1 % of body fat loss a day corresponds to 0.5 pound loss a day. This is how I was able to project the values of weight and body fat loss.

Books

Since the beginning of the fasting I’ve finished reading all the books I recommended in this post, except for The Case Against Sugar.

Meanwhile, I bought another one on the subject. The book is Metabolical by Dr. Robert Lustig, which I recommend.
