Interesting: I am dieting for only two weeks now and my heart rate at rest is going down according to my fitness tracker.

@adiabatic in my diet? I am doing intermittent fasting (16/8) and write down what I eat, so I try to eat/drink only around 1500 kcal/day. Since I am reducing what I eat I also look more at what I eat for getting all the nutrients I need (more fruit, nearly no processed sugar etc)

@adiabatic I don’t know how a normal American diet compares to my “German” diet. I have to say that I also never smoked and rarely drink alcohol and my BMI is already only a bit above 25; so it is more getting to a state of having a buffer before becoming overweight.
