Weight watch

After eating quite a lot yesterday, I weighed in at 89.3kg this morning.  Still 4kg down from my starting point a fortnight or so ago.  Yesterday morning (after a fasting day) it was 88.7kg.

I wonder how long to break the 88kg barrier.  

I should also note that the loss of just 3 to 4 kg has had a significant effect on my blood pressure, which is giving some very comfortingly "normal" readings after a couple of years of worryingly high readings at times.  And it seems that intermittent fasting itself, rather than just the loss of weight, might have be the reason.  Here's Perplexity:

 Studies have shown that intermittent fasting can result in rapid improvements in blood pressure, particularly in people with elevated or hypertensive levels. Research involving hypertensive patients who fasted for about 15-16 hours daily over 30 days demonstrated significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressures. These improvements were not associated with notable changes in body weight or other metabolic markers over the one-month period. Instead, the primary mechanisms linked to the blood pressure improvements involved reductions in angiotensin II and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity, key regulators of blood pressure, as well as positive changes in markers of autonomic nervous system activity (such as heart rate variability).

With alternative day fasting, I think the results are even faster.

Quite a pleasing thing to discover. 

Update:  88.0 kg this morning.   Good.  Good. 

Update:  Two days later, after a particularly big eating non fasting day (my stomach did feel overstretched - I overate at lunch), and another fast day - 87.9kg.   

So, still progressing.  I will eat more within carefully today.
