Cutting my calories to an average of 1060 kcal a day has slowed my heart rate way down. It used to be in the 80s and now it is usually less than 60. Once it was 50 and I think it goes even lower when I'm asleep!
My metabolism has slowed down and I think that is a good sign (well bad for weight loss, but good for life extension). I know I will continue to lose weight, but at a much slower pace in my current metabolic state, but I can live with that. Also it is actually good to lose weight slowly. Losing weight too quickly will shorten your life.
I've decided I want to get into the CRON lifestyle (calorie restriction with optimal nutrition) in an effort to extend my life to beyond 100.
I'm also getting more orthostatic hypotension, but I can live with that.
