[QUOTE="nothing56, post: 936933, member: 198378"] Hi, Thanks for the response. Ask as many questions as you like. With regard to the diet i was looking at stopping the shake aspect of it. Originally i set a target of 8ish weeks to lose 15% of my body weight based upon the original study. I know that Prof Taylor states that its not so much how you achieve the loss, its doing it in say 6 months or so. But the initial simplicity of the diet was easy for me to follow so replication as close as possible was my aim. My intention is not to stop the weight loss, just to move from the mostly liquid VLC diet to LCHF, which i believe will be more maintainable for me long term and will also assist with my blood numbers if i don't see further improvements. As for BMI i'm sitting at 34. So still very overweight and a small reduction of 4" from my waist. I know that the visceral fat is really the most important and that is the area i have seen the least reduction. I think the crux of my questions is really about understanding how to track progress, not on the weight but on the normalisations of the blood numbers and then to understand what success is. I have done quite a lot of reading around what normal numbers are but there seems to be no hard and fast rule. For example in the ND study the control group based on this diagram.
