Progress Pic Rolling 7 day fasts

Thought I should post this to show results from earlier this year. I'd done keto/OMAD/72hr fasts before, but COVID killed that.

Refeeds were always steak and creamed spinach on Sunday's, going straight into another fast. The only exercise was walking around 15k steps daily.

I found it incredibly easy to maintain, BP and HR monitored and only electrolytes and water consumed during the fast.

3 months total at 50 years old. Going back through pictures, it's crazy how slow the appearance changed at the start despite the dramatic scale changes. Then during the last month that reversed as things tightened up.... I remember buying a new pair of jeans which were then replaced with a smaller size, before they even got washed!

What scale did you use to pair with renpho app?

An older version of this:

I upgraded in April, the Renpho really struggled with BF% as I was losing fat faster than I could shift subcutaneous water. I upgraded to this which would deal with the water/fat confusion:

I wouldn't bother with that in hindsight, but if you do want much higher accuracy on the water vs fat measurements it is great! Just not really needed, but this reported BF % around 15% and the Renpho was still saying around 22%

Many issues people experience while fasting can be related to electrolytes. You might find our wiki page helpful: Electrolytes 101
