This morning my weight was at 141.8 lbs.
I had my hydrostatic fat test done and it showed that with 144 lbs I was at 29.5% of body fat. Way too much! My focus now turns towards my fat. For more information about my hydrostatic test experience please read my blog at:
www.fastingconnection.com/blog/getting-dunked.html
When I came home I measured myself and came up with the following numbers:
neck - 14"
chest - 37"
Waist - 29%
Hips - 39"
Thigh - 19.5"
Calf - 15"
Bicep - 11.5"
Forearm - 9.5"
These are my starting points. Now I just need to figure out how to incorporate weightlifting into my daily routine to help those numbers change.
I had my blood work done as well and should have my results early next week.

Studies have shown that resistence exercises cause us to burn body fat for 5 days after exercising. While cardio workout on burn body fat for a few hours after exercise.
It is very helpful for you to be doing this as part of a contest which is very motivating. I am cheering for you all the way.

Week I - Week III will be a mix of two 36-hour dry fasts per week with omnivorous predominantly low fat diet.
Week IV - Week VI will be a mix of two 36-hour dry fasts per week with vegetarian diet
Week VII - Week IX will be a mix of two 36-hour dry fasts per week with raw vegan diet
Week X - Week XII will be a mix of two 36-hour dry fasts per week with law fat fruitarian diet
For each three-week segment measurements of weight, body fat% and body dimensions will be taken and analyzed. I will not make any alterations to the exercise as to not effect outcomes. At the end of the experiment a conclusion will be drawn based on the numbers and overall experience as to which diet effects which results.
Any comments at this point will be greatly appreciated!

I believe that this decision will lead to a significantly more interesting study and additional helpful information for those who are interested in intermittent fasting. The following changes will be implemented.

Hi Milena, I think this is a really neat idea. However, I would like to suggest something slightly different.
Weeks I-IV Omnivorous Diet (what you normally eat)
Weeks V-VIII Low-Fat, Cooked Vegan Diet (McDougall style with fruits, veggies, grains, tubers, and beans, but NO ADDED FAT)
Weeks IX-XII Low-Fat All-Raw Vegan Diet (80/10/10 with most of calories coming from fruit with the addition of some leafy greens and NO ADDED FAT)
I think this plan would be a more fair assessment because it would give each diet a full month trial. I really don't think you would see much difference between an Omnivorous Diet and an Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian Diet. I would personally like to see if there is much difference between the low-fat cooked vegan and low-fat raw vegan diets.
What do you think about this idea?

I agree that eating vegetarian diet might not show significant difference, since I am almost vegetarian as it is, so I will increase intake of animal protein. Thankfully I am only 4 days into week one so I still have time to make that adjustment.
Also I do not think there would be a significant difference between the law-fat cooked vegan vs low-fat raw vegan diets except that you are able to eat grains on the first and thus consume more starch then on the later.
What do you think?

I think you should do as you feel best, but I think giving each plan 4 weeks would show a better picture of each way. I
With alow-fat raw vegan program, the diet provides most of its calories from fruit but also includes about 1 lb of leafy greens (lettuce, kale, chard, etc) per day. So, it is not just fruit. The fruit provides the calories and vitamins and the greens provide the minerals and more protein (they are quite high in protein actually). Many people eat the fruit and leafy green together, but some will eat fruit by itself and then eat the leafy green in the evening with tomatoes for flavor. There are some people who do not eat many greens at all, but that requires access to extremely high quality fruit which can be hard to find, to remain nutritionally adequate over long periods of time.

Yes, you are probably right about the 4 weeks, so what I might do 4 weeks omnivorous, 4 weeks on a vegan, low fat semi-raw diet, which will include all veggies and grains, but no flour products and no fruit at all, and 4 weeks on a low fat fruitarean diet with no veggies at all. What do you guys think of that?
