Well, I've perhaps been doing it more or less daily for about six months. After a couple of months it was funny because I constantly had to tighten the belt but at the same time I was getting heavier and heavier.
The same app on my phone (Tactio Health) now constantly sends me simultaneously two alerts. One is "you currently have an extremely low body fat percentage", the other to tell me I'm too heavy for my height (at about 90 kg for 190 cm).
I remember Ray Peat mentioning that depending on how much CO2 you're exposed to, you could get about 10 kg heavier in your bones just from CO2. And I do have the opportunity to spend a couple of weeks every couple of months at a relatively high altitude, so go figure...
Anyway, I feel that the current measures that most people use (either just the weight compared to the height, or the Body Mass Index and such) don't give you very much information about your state of health.
Nice, that's kinda what I figured. One of the nice things about the transdermal thing is that you get to see drastic improvements in your skin, daily and weekly. Although I wasn't as concerned about that, it's a nice reminder to keep doing it. I've also started to use dry ice to do a CO2 bath, probably about 1-2x a week, so maybe bones will factor into weight a bit too.
