    That's too academic for me - I would have to watch it on Horrible Histories to understand it.

          I was doing quite well until the government closed all the gyms and made us look after our children 24/7 for months on end. Now I like the new WFH setup but it is impossible to get to the gym even now it's open.

                  I have never ever dieted before but i thought i would start one to lose some middle age spread before i turn 50!

                  Started at 79Kg, 21 days ago, looking to reach 64Kg in a 100 days.. So 15Kg to lose into total.

                  Im doing a Ketogenic low carb diet. Including 8 hour eating window and 16 hour daily fast. Love the diet. Highly recommend it.
                  The kind of food allowed is so much better than the junk high carb stuff i was constantly eating just 3 weeks ago!

                  I think the first few kilos are the easy bit, it is mostly water weight.

                  And then they say it gets a bit harder and slower.

                  Currently on day 21, have lost 5Kg so far.

                  Most of my fat is around my torso and belly and i can definitely notice the difference after 5kg down.

                  This is from my tracking app:

                    No point having a nice diagram if you cannot say what app you are using.

                      Thats just some random app that came with my weighing scales.

                      I use this one its 12 quid, my wife had a fancy £30 one that sent an electric signal to measure fat % it also came with an app, but it broke, so i got this cheap and cheerful scale for my diet tracking:
