Bodyhack call out
For solidarity.
So, as y'all may have noticed, @Saal, @Cassox, @zombiegristle, @Lucas_Dimoveo, and I are all engaged in a project to hack our eye bits. Pretty nifty. But as we discussed / noticed, we need to have a stable and solid substrate to work upon. That substrate is our body meats. Gotta have a solid chassis before you start modding that hot rod, right?
This means that all these guys are working on making themselves science grade workable. Right now, we are all working on getting our bodyfat into the single digits. It's needed to get the solid data that we need to nail down the changes we are hoping to effect. @Lucas_Dimoveo sent me his measurement excel sheet. @Cassox went keto/paleo after being _vegan_. @Saal is kicking the smokes. For Science!
I'm asking... calling upon the community, to join us. You may not be a guinea pig now, but you are grinders! Grind with us! Maybe you don't have a spare dollar to throw at this project, heck, maybe all your spare dollars are going to your projects. But, can you guys and gals throw a little props this way, let these grinders know that we are all pushing for the same goal? Show some support and start grinding that chassis!
Do you want to build a better machine?
I'll go first:
@glims - 221 lbs - 13.8% bodyfat gonna hit single digits within project launch

I'm with you. Never thought of losing weight as an attempt to become a better labrat haha. And yeah all of my dollars are going to my projects. Though if I get the sum of cash i'm planning on getting I hope to put at least $10 of it into your project(not a lot, but its not a big sum either haha)
@john - 266 lbs - no clue can I just ask my doctor next standard check up?
Smokes: Down to two a day, projected to quit Friday (I just run till my lungs feel like they're bleeding when I want a smoke xD)
I quit smoking a year ago and switched to electronic cigarettes as an alternative nicotine delivery. I have discovered great use in regulating that in a real quantifiable way, using it as a stimulant when needed as well as controlling my addiction.
I'm also starting a soylent experiment next week, hopefully also to get my nutrients up/fat down and actually monitor what goes in and out. Better than my past pizza/beer/cola diet that I was on for too long. I'll definitely throw some updates this way.
I agree that working on a well oiled machine (as it were) would be a hell of a lot easier than anything else and so am fully supportive of this.
I dont know. I just have an overpowering nostalgia for the future. I want to see as much of it as possible.
Dietary energy restriction, maintaining protein intake >200g.d-1, getting essential fatty acids c50g.d-1 and have c200g carbs one day per week. Multi vit & min supplement taken with food.
Lots of fluids
Fibre as necessary to stave off hunger.
Keep active throughout the day - move around, walk quickly, take the stairs, etc
2x45min.d-1 cardio at c140-150bpm heart rate ( one in the morning and one in the eve).
200mg.d-1 2,4 dinitrophenol taken orally ( wastes energy by inhibiting ATP synthesis and increases heat production )
Caffeine c200mg before each cardio session.
Fat loss is quite rapid. The DNP does need handling with care as it has serious risks (of death) if used poorly. There maybe some muscle loss on this, although anabolics prevent/reverse that problem. There are easier ways but if it is simply a matter of fixing BF prior to your experiment, then this is quite effective IME.
All the best with the experiment.
