#2 - Breaking Down The 72-Hour Body Shock Experiment

We'll keep it simple, and take everyone back to the days of elementary school science class where the scientific method was used to conduct experiments for research on a particular subject matter. For easier understanding, here is everything broken down into simple terms.

HYPOTHESIS: Given a body that is adapted to very healthy, clean-eating and physically demanding lifestyle, it will receive a caloric overload (approximately 75,000 calories) and be deprived of any strenuous physical activity (a sedentary lifestyle) over the span of 72 hours. Even after dynamic physical, mental and statistical changes, through clean eating (only foods found in nature), an average daily recommended caloric intake (2,000 calories) and a moderate level of daily physical activity (4-5 days per week at 45-minutes per day), the body can reverse the damage done from the initial shock and return to it's previous state within a three week period.

PREDICTION: I predict that the subject (myself), will statistically return to the same figures (within 5% of each) in the three week period of time and be capable of undertaking a similar level of physical activity prior to the shock.

DEPENDENT VARIABLES: The statistical measurements done prior to the shock, after the shock and following the three week recovery period will all be taken at approximately the same time of day (morning), on the same devices (my personal devices) and in approximately the same state of being (controlling as many other variables of day-to-day life as possible)

INDEPENDENT VARIABLE: The independent variable in this case will be the idea that it took nearly 15-months from beginning to end to reach the "previous state" and after the shock, it will be only 3-weeks. With that said, the starting points given each time frame are also different, and with no exact date pinpointing a similar starting time in the past, it's impossible to completely control this variable.

CONCLUSION: To be determined...
