After ending a 3 day water fast at the weekend, something that I posted about a few days ago where I just jumped in the deep end and came out the other end with a lot to work with, two dozen questions, and far more postives than negatives.

My goal is weight loss. I am training for a triathlon at the moment, and it is all going well, feel great, eating healthy food. But the big problem is that my appetite becomes huge when training and it’s a fight not to be constantly raiding the fridge. So in some ways the hard training goes to waste.

Last week I had enough, I had heard a lot about fasting including the stuff Mike Mosley talked about. I was going to set a date, but thought sod it and just went for it that evening(last meal)

As I was going through the 3 day fast I was researching online and observing what was happening to myself, there is far more to fasting I have already leaned than just the weight loss, but that is for another post.

So about 2nd day I had already decided that was going to happen again. I have decided 2 x 24 hr water fasts a week for the foreseeable future unless I get a little ill or drop down dead. Because of the 3 day fast at the weekend I thought I would just do the 1 x 24 hour fast this week as a gentle start.

I started last night at 7pm and have only 2 hours to go before I start preparing my first meal, Bass and asparagus with a few minted new spuds. It has been easy if I am honest, I also did a 55 cycle ride this morning as well and had plenty of fluids. I was debating having first meal in the morning and making it 36 hours, but lets not be silly.
