Jerry Lee went through an Initial Dieting Cycle (IDC) in 2007. Since then, his weight has fluctuated in a narrow range of 70 to 65 kgs (154 - 143 lbs) thanks to the customary use of either the Regular Dieting Cycle (RDC) or the Alternate Dieting Cycle (ADC). With a height of 180 cm (71"), Jerry Lee enjoys a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 21.6 to 20, which renders the use of IDC unnecessary, for now. The graph below shows how his weight has evolved over time and how many times RDC and ADC are being used per semester to lose, maintain or control weight.

Regular exercise (small walks) and/or powerful training at least once a week complements perfectly RDC and ADC as they allow users to remain close to FLP. To avoid muscle injury during or after powerful and endurance training, some extra minerals may be necessary after exercise. They usually sell with highly-enriched protein powders - even though you may not need the proteins. See here for a healthy example.

Despite an earlier pledge to maintain weight at 67 Kg (147 Lbs) with BMI 21, Jerry Lee lost a little more than 2 Kg (4.4 Lbs) crossing the 65 Kg (142.6 Lbs) line and reaching BMI 20.0. This is the last stage before being in 'underweight'. However, dietitians consider it may also be the 'ideal' weight. Fact is, training endurance and performance look great with BMI 20. Noteworthy mentioning is some vascular problems. Blood pressure has been generally low (Systolic 90 - Diastolic 55) with pulse around 45. This condition may have caused some breathing difficulties - or the other way around. It is unclear whether salt, medication during that time, loss of weight, better endurance in training or coffee consumption may have caused the symptoms. But since giving up on salty foods, the condition seems to be improving.

For two months now, Jerry Lee has returned to his original RDC losing by the same tocken another three kilos weight by combining both RDC and ADC. This leads him to a BMI of 20.7 from previously 21.6. Apparently, some of the fat he held converted into muscle. General state of health is back to normal, that is, very good.

The year 2010 saw a switch in diets from RDC to ADC, a smooth version of the former, with the aim to soften bowels, a necessary measure to heal from an unrelated ailment which the patient has known since his 17th birthday. Jerry Lee is expected to get back predominently on RDC by year end.
