    Four days complete and already 3% weight loss. I am sure that somewhere in the book it states ideal weight loss after 8 weeks as a percentage but I can’t find it anywhere today. Really pleased with results to date, and energy levels and sleep going well. As for my skin, it’s glowing, an unexpected side effect.

    Hope you are all doing as well and feeling as great.

    Does anyone know the percent details i am looking for?

    My plan is to read the book cover to cover each week as it will remind me of all the reasons I am doing this.

    Thanks

    Hi Nat, the total loss that Michael mentioned was between 10 and 20%, I think it is on the web-site. It very much depends on how overweight you are and also what your goals are. If you are looking to reduce blood sugar then he states that you will need to loose between 10 and 15% to turn that around (chapter 6 of the book under subheading ‘write down your goals’ – sorry can’t give you a page number as I have the Kindle version).
    good luck

    Hi Nat

    On p125 it says ‘to properly reverse type 2 diabetes you will probably need to lose 10-15% of your starting body weight. ……. If your original BMI is over 40, then you may need to lose more’.

    Is this what you were looking for?

    Perfect, thanks for your replies. I am aiming for 20% and it would be amazing if I could get close to this in 8 weeks. Hope your journeys are going well.

    I’ve lost between 15%-20% (34 pounds, so 8.8 pounds to 20%) since starting on 19th December. Still another 55 pounds to go, to get me where medics say I should be), so I’m sticking with 800 calories for now.
