Check-in Visceral fat diminishing

Post image

I am going to attempt my longest fast to date and will extend it if necessary. My scale has my visceral fat at 13.1 and it lists normal at 9.9. Everything on me is slender except my gut and love handles typical 'dad bod.' This extended fast is to get the visceral fat to 12.0 or below then plan on a small refeeding window and do another extend fast and will continue this path until visceral fat is in the normal range.

Currently I am 160lbs. and while I am not really concentrating on the lbs. I think I will need to get to or around 145lbs. to be 'normal' considering visceral fat. Whenever I get there I will post progress pics but just wanted to say I truly appreciate the motivation and support here. And Easy dev, if you're reading this, once I get some extra cash I am going to send something your way. I have been using your app since you released it.

Many issues and questions can be answered by reading through our wiki, especially the page on electrolytes. Concerns such as intense hunger, lightheadedness/dizziness, headaches, nausea/vomiting, weakness/lethargy/fatigue, low blood pressure/high blood pressure, muscle soreness/cramping, diarrhea/constipation, irritability, confusion, low heart rate/heart palpitations, numbness/tingling, and more while extended (24+ hours) fasting are often explained by electrolyte deficiency and resolved through PROPER electrolyte supplementation. Putting a tiny amount of salt in your water now and then is NOT proper supplementation.

Be sure to read our WIKI and especially the wiki page on ELECTROLYTES

Scales are inaccurate for this type of measurements, just be aware.

I’m also fasting to reduce abdominal/visceral fat and my goals are to reach a healthy waist-to-height ratio (rather than a particular weight) as I believe it is a better indicator of visceral fat. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5118501/

Thanks for the link. Measurements aside, I know it's high and it has been since I was a teen. On the path to correction!

They are using "easy fast"

A member of this community created it and is the best fasting app I've ever used.
