I weighed myself and got the numbers: weight = 155.8lb, body fat % = 21.3%. 2 weeks back when I started, I weighed 154.8 and body fat % of 21.5%. No real move at all.<br \/>\nMy buddy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quantifiedbob.com\">QuantifiedBob<\/a> pointed out that I really need 60-70% of my calories need to come from fat. That was not something I was tracking and I don&#8217;t think it was reached. I usually eat a ton of protein due to my working out and so this probably derailed the experiment in having a meaningful move in body fat %.<br \/>\nOh well. It was fun to try. At least I didn&#8217;t get hungry during the times I wasn&#8217;t eating. Bulletproof Coffee with butter and MCT Oil took care of that.  I shifted the fasting time from the suggested 2pm to 8pm to 12noon to 6pm. Eating lunch therefore became easier, but I rushed to finish dinner by 6pm, often ending after that. I don&#8217;t think that mattered much as some fasting guides say you can have the eating period be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leangains.com\/2010\/04\/leangains-guide.html\">8 hours long<\/a>, not 6.<br \/>\nI also may not have done it long enough to see real results. Someday in the future, I&#8217;ll have to try this again.  Also I want to try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletproofexec.com\/what-is-protein-fasting-bulletproof-diet\/\">protein fasting<\/a> and see if there are noticeable, positive autopagy results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Sunday I ended my very short experiment on Bulletproof intermittent fasting.
