Johnny Five is alive!

I think I’ve won this particular 2016 game. According to the standard adult BMI classification I had just entered the healthy weight category after coming down from an “obese” BMI of thirty-five-point-something. For most adults, that category is 18.5 to 24.9. BMI is only a screening measure: it does not directly distinguish body fat from muscle, and it is certainly not the final scoreboard for the human body.

In my head though, this meant I had finally reached a nice place to live for the rest of my salmon, chicken, milk, high-grain and low-carb-bread days.

Above is a snapshot of the last three months. My master plan was to start putting the brakes on by gradually increasing my own energy intake, 5% at a time, until my weight stabilised. That was the experiment I was running on myself, not a universal formula for anybody else.
