I understand that it's on me to prove my methodology, not expect you to assume I did it right. That is fair.
The data is multiple points of weight recorded every day (4 times a day) over a month, with a follow up a few years continued observance based on the results. Also, daily exercise and daily diet were documented as well (during the month of testing).
Granted, I did not measure "fat" with calipers or other methods, but I measured my waist (though I did not document this, my failure), where I lost my fat from. Sure, not perfect. But it's enough to prove _something_ was happening. I went from 202 down to 185 lbs. And my pants didn't fit properly half way through, and were baggy by the end.
I think it's fair that "explained phenomena" here, with one meal a day, 2 miles (up to 3 by the end) of running (8 minute miles avg. by the end) and slimming waist, limbs and neck was evidence of 15+ lbs of fat loss, not dehydration.
Science doesn't have to be perfect to demonstrate worth or value in a concept.
- scarface74 7y agoAren’t you arguing against your point? You cut down the amount of calories in and you increased calorie expenditure. You probably also gained lean muscle mass that helped to increase your basal metabolic rate. This goes more to show what everyone knows based on accepted science.
- RobertRoberts 7y agoNo, because I think I presented my observation poorly. I think 100% of the weight loss is from use of calories, and limiting the intake of calories. What I meant to state more clearly is that I think the waste or _something_ related to the removal of the fat (after being used) happens during sleep.
- AstralStorm 7y agoI'd put it at 90%, because keeping BMR higher helps. It's very hard to run even close to half of the BMR extra for most obese people as that's very strenuous, many hours of exercise.
