Who is the Fit Quant?

I love America. It’s my adopted homeland, and I have lived here more than half my life in a great city, in a great country.

One of the things that worries me is the alarming increase in obesity we’ve witnessed, especially in the last few years.

In 2008 I was am obese Quant looking for a rational method of getting in shape, and in line with my Quant mentality. I committed to researching the topic, developing a scientific and unbiased analysis, and using the findings on myself in real time.

So I developed an analytical approach that worked. I did my own analysis and quantification of the components, figured out which ones worked and which ones didn’t, and applied the model to myself.

I had to keep track of things and accumulate data in order to do some sort of objective analysis. I needed a baseline to measure my progress.

This blog is intended to summarize the specifc resources I used and that helped me in change form Fat to Fit.
