You haven't noticed any physical problems such as weakness during dives?
And how do you account for dives in your diet (being that diving does ask a bit of energy)

I haven't had any hard excercise for a couple of weeks, partly because I wanted to get the ball rolling with CR. I am teaching a fundamentals course this week in Latvia which is always a lot of physical activity, followed by some tech diving in the Baltic. Both should both put this system to the test quite well. I will report back here with my findings.

To avoid weakness, exhaustion, and whatnot, all you have to do is factor in your activity level to calculate your maintenance-level caloric requirements, and then adjust your intake from there, again making sure that you are getting all the nutrients you need. More than 1000 Calories less than the maintenance level, and your body won't be able to burn fat fast enough to make energy available.

Hassan
