Pain and anxiety. The old patterns surfaced. High anxiety. Pain in the foot and back. It has all overcome me. 11:00 — toasted sandwich with two boiled eggs, avocado, shallot, salt. Two teas, water. Another boiled egg. Salt and vinegar crisps. Tomato puffs. Evening — spaghetti and tomato sauce with tuna and garlic bread. Some…

Pain in the foot. The body asking for something different. 102.9kg. Toe in a lot of pain. Doctor thinks gout. Ate at 09:40 — veg curry and bread. Then homemade gnocchi with pesto and cheese, gherkin, half a coke zero, cashews, walnuts, almonds and shortbread biscuits. Strong painkillers for the toe. Lower left back in…

The kettlebell is back out. The body remembers. 15 minute workout in the garden — kettlebell and skipping rope. Ate at 11:30 — eggs with cheese and broccoli, roast veg and gravy, toasted bread with butter, croissant with cream and jam, one small biscuit, tea, half a coke zero. 18:00 — three boiled eggs and…

Ate to feel better. It didn’t. Noted. 101.3kg. Ate at 12:00 — beef and trimmings, banana cake, chocolate pastry with clotted cream. Ham sandwich at 16:00, small bags of crisps, tea, small ice cream, small Easter egg. Not hungry. Feeling quite low and physically stressed. Sore throat. Uneasy. Ate to try to feel better. It…

Roast beef and family. The reward earned. Water in the morning. 14:00 — roast beef and trimmings. Good lunch and day with family. — Think Fast

Bang on. The moment arrived. 100.0kg. Bang on. Not feeling hungry. Feeling good about the achievement. Excited for the coming months. Enjoying the moment. Kegel exercises in the morning to engage the stomach muscles. Broke fast at 08:00 — lamb on the bones and carrots from the broth, salted cashews. Banana bread and clotted cream…

Almost through. One more day. 100.9kg this morning. 15 minute swim. Two 10 minute sauna sessions with cold water after. Two portions of bone broth. Salt water throughout. Tea in the morning. Thinking about food often. No hunger — all in the head. Drifting between alertness and tiredness. First bone broth at 11. Second at…

The first milestone. The body crossed it. 102.0kg this morning. The first half stone milestone broken. Water fast continuing. Salt water and tea through the day. Drank the bone broth twice. Thinking about food often today — chicken tarragon with crème fraîche and lemon, a new recipe for pizza and spaghetti bolognese. Not cravings. Plans.…

Water and salt and bone broth. The body adapting. Mostly water fast today. Salt in the water throughout. Tomorrow — water, salt and two portions of bone broth. Same on Saturday. Sunday I eat. First time adding bone broth to the protocol. Water and minerals. The fast continues but the body gets something. STOP is…

Two walks, a roast, and then the fast begins. 103.0kg this morning. Out early with my youngest daughter — 4km walk in the park, playing on the climbing frames and exercise machines. Good session. Roast dinner from 12:30 to 15:00. Meat, vegetables, tea and biscuits for afters. Then a 2.5km walk later with my wife,…
