The Science
Weight Loss Milestones

5% body weight (6.6kg lost) — liver fat measurably decreases.
7–10% (9–13kg lost) — inflammation starts to reverse.
10%+ (13kg+ lost) — liver scarring can begin to heal.
Your 32kg goal takes you past all three thresholds.

Exercise Reduces Liver Fat Even Without Weight Loss

Exercise independently reduces liver fat before the scales move. This is why the resistance sessions are non-negotiable — even on weeks where weight stalls, your liver is improving.

Eating Window
16:8 — Eat 11am to 7pm Only

Nothing before 11am except black coffee. Nothing after 7pm. Late eating forces the liver to process nutrients overnight when it should be resting — directly increasing liver fat production. Research shows this pattern produces significant reductions in liver stress markers.

Daily Protein Target: 158–198g

1.2–1.5g per kg bodyweight at 132kg. This is the number that protects your muscle during 32kg of weight loss. Sources: chicken, turkey, eggs, tuna, salmon, lentils, chickpeas, beans.

The Phases
Phase 1 — Build Habits (Weeks 1–4)

Establish eating window, nail movement breaks, learn resistance exercises at light weight, get to 3 coffees daily, hit 11pm bedtime. One priority at a time. First milestone: 5% weight lost (6.6kg).

Phase 2 — Build Intensity (Weeks 5–12)

Increase to 75–80% max weight. 3 sessions per week consistently. Add third padel if possible. Target: 7–10% body weight lost (9–13kg).

Phase 3 — Assess and Sustain (Month 4+)

Book follow-up blood tests to see objective change. If progress has stalled despite consistent effort, review GLP-1 medication with GP — semaglutide showed 30–35% liver fat reduction in meta-analyses.
