What other species even questions what to eat or how much?
Where are our instincts? Killed by civilization, or just "in a coma"?"
Markku Niilo-Rämä replied to JBF Coach Sarah's discussion If you wonder what oil to use for cooking ..."I think saturated fats have gotten an undeserved bad rap.. and polyunsaturated fats are bad.. and one should avoid omega 6 and try to get more omega 3.. fish oil good, trans fats the worst (even though the media often lumps them together :(…"

"Yes, that's nice. You can do your workout whenever and however you like. Just be careful if you workout alone, with no-one to assist you if things get too heavy, you could get hurt. But I guess you know yourself and you limits well by now.…"

Very happy with changes to my body shape. Still have a bit of body fat to lose, but very encouraging.
Photos upoaded.
Fat % taken via Tanita scales each time in the morning upon rising out of bed. Even allowing for Tanita scale inaccuracy the bofy fat % moved in the right direction.
So far I've lost 7lbs. down from 189lbs to 182lbs
Dropped from 28% body fat to 24% body fat (or 52.92lbs to 42.77lbs)
Lean body mass has increased from 136lbs to 139.23lbs.
I know the Tanita scales can be unreliable with regard to body fat, but I weigh myself at the same time of day and % is going in the right direction. I've tried using body fat callipers but there must be a knack to it, as depending how much you pinch you get a different result. Maybe you have to take an average. Anyway my body fat % always seems to be lower (around 2%) using a calliper than when using the scales. The results above are using the scales.
Anyway, 2 weeks down. and making great progress. Starting to lose a bit off the belly. Several pairs of work suit trousers currently at the tailor to get the waist taken in, which is very encouraging.
Week 3 just started and I'm feeling great.
