Predicting Weight Loss with Machine Learning
How I used a DNN model to track and project my weight loss progress on a ketogenic diet.
The Harris-Benedict Equation, often referred to as the Harris weight loss function, is a well-established mathematical model used to estimate an individual's Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). BMR refers to the number of calories your body needs to perform basic physiological functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production when at rest. Interestingly, the weight loss function shows a near-constant decrease rate throughout the process, even as my calorie restriction (relative to the calculated Harris-Benedict BMR and TDEE) seems to have stabilized at a level that keeps me feeling satisfied without much effort.
