It would be interesting to see the same breakdown analysis with different diets.

Hey zenyc, we did 2 cycles of Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) and tracked our markers during the 5 day fast: [1] blood glucose (trending down) [2] body fat percentage (trending down) [3] ketone levels (trending up)

Here the writeup: https://www.artlapinsch.com/fmd/

What type of diet would be of most interest?
There are a few fad diets that keep coming back, for example:

* Paleo

* Keto

* Something with (only) liquids

Keto is a fad diet that was developed for legitimate reasons.

It helps in some cases of epilepsy.

Its just a tidbit I wanted to throw in, as not all diets are equal, but some diets are more equal than others.

One that stresses the body and is not a fast
How about the American diet. A week on pizzas, burgers, sodas and donuts with real time data?
Yes and compare with a healthy diet. Control as many variables as possible (eating time, exercise time and duration, etc)
Ok will post this next
