[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1532315, member: 345386"] His papers touch on this, but nobody know when we may have breached the personal fat threshold. For some they need to a lot of weight, and some a smaller amount. At the end of the ND, some of Professor Taylor's subjects were still clinically obese. That's the tricky bit - nobody knows. For me, the important thing isn't crossing any line, in terms of completing 8 weeks, but what happens in the period thereafter. Most people have to continue to eat less than they did before embarking on the ND. Aside from all other considerations, they are lighter, and therefore have less body mass to fuel. I have some fairly clever scales (Omron BF511), which measure additional metric as well as straightforward weight. That includes visceral fat. On a scale of 1-30, I score 3, and have done for well over 3 years. [ATTACH=full]23566[/ATTACH] I keep a good eye on the VF score; checking it weekly, always using the scale hand grasps, as they allegedly improve the scale's accuracy my assessing the impedance from more both hands and feet. Personally, I recently did a home GTT, without carbing up beforehand (not eating c150gr carb a day can lead to an increased chance of a false diabetes positive result). I passed the GTT, but of course I have no idea what would happen if I just ate lots of carbs, all day and every day. I have no idea if my body would cope, but for now, I'm not fussed about changing my current way of eating, as it suits me and my lifestyle pretty well. [/QUOTE]
