Another week has gone by and another 100g has dropped off my weight. This could be considered to be 'statistical error', especially when drinking a glass of water adds 200g to one's weight. I try to keep the conditions constant when I weigh myself: Friday morning, naked, after pills (a minimum of water) and urinating as much as possible. My weight is definitely decreasing, a little bit each week, and this seems to be the way to lose weight - not by reducing the intake of calories and forcing the body to change its metabolic strategy, but by restricting the hours during which I eat, or more accurately, increasing the time during which I am not eating.
The war is helping obliquely: I am going to bed slightly earlier than usual, in part because almost every night there has been a missile warning. I am sleeping later, both because of the disturbances caused by the warnings but also because my company has not been working all week. Gradually the number of people connecting to our server and the hours that I work have been growing each day; I understand that Sunday will be back to work as usual. As a result of the sleep, my blood pressure has been lower both in the mornings and in the evenings (when I remember to measure it).
My last set of blood tests were done at the end of March; I wanted to wait another three months before repeating the glucose, cholesterol and HA1C tests, but I'll wait another month. I am hoping that the time-restricted eating along with the probiotics will have reduced some metabolic markers as well as my weight.
