Am I getting the full CRON effect?

[Guest guest]

I have fairly consistently kept to my CRON program for 157 days now.

I

have gone from 86.6 kg (191 pounds) to 76 kg (168 pounds). According

to my

Tanita scales I have reduced my body fat from 37 down to 23. My

daily

calorie intake varies from a low of about 1200 calories to a high of

about

1850 calories. I am 179 cm (5 foot 10) and of medium build.

HERE'S MY QUESTION>>>

How do I know when I am doing " enough " ? Is there some set

point (in terms

of weight or daily calorie input or body fat or ...) that, if I

reach, I

can be confident that I am getting almost all of the effects possible

to

get from the CRON approach?

No there is not. But there are blood tests as outlined in " Beyond....... " ,

which you can have done by a doctor, and there is improvement in BP (which

you can take yourself).

There are also simple observations that you can make yourself. I rarely get

sick anymore - no colds or flu. My hair is full and thick. My skin looks

great.

BTW although you didn't ask for advice along these lines, 1200 cal is too

low for a 5 " 10 adult male, especially if you're middle aged or older . If

you're not getting enough nutrition you can cause the opposite of what

you're hoping to achieve - that is dying younger not older.
