[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77427205, member: 330042"] I've been on a calorie restriction diet for a few weeks- I gained weight last year from eating too many cookies at coffee hour, I guess. I've done diets in the past with varying results (I come from a family of overweight or obese people, so I've always tended to be overweight). This time, I am paying attention to the percentage of body fat more than the weight, through resistance training along with the diet. I increased my fiber consumption by only eating whole grains, and I only am using low-calorie sweeteners. I also cut fat to less than 20 percent of calories, and increased protein to 22 percent of calories from protein. I'm also using a keto breath tester I got years ago, to make sure I am actually burning fat (usually it reads .5-1.6 mmol/dL). For resistance training, I am mostly relying on calisthenics with some dumbell and resistance bands. Gym memberships cost too much. We do have access to a treadmill and an old cabled-based machine in the complexy's gymn room, and I go there a few times a week to use the treadmill- not for weight loss, but just to stay in shape. My goal this time isn't to gain or lose weight based on BMI (body mass index), it's to get my percentage body fat under 20 percent by Christmas - I started out at 24%, and now I'm down to 22%. I'm using a diet scale that measures body fat. My weight on the scale has actually increased about 1 1/2 pounds, and I'm guessing I've gained a pound or so of muscle. I also found a useful web app where you can put a picture of yourself and it guesses your percentage of body fat (it currently only works for men, though, and you need a well-lit image of yourself against a blank background ideally, with the same proportions). The app uses artificial intelligence. It seems to be reasonably accurate, and gives similar results to my fat analyzer scale: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.hassanaljuboori.com/body_fat.html[/URL] I actually got the idea for this sort of thing myself, and I was going to see if it was possible to feed a neural network like Stable Diffusion a bunch of images with tags of body fat percentages, but it turns out somebody else beat me to it on the Internet.
