About me
38 year old male, 6’1, (185 cm) struggled with weight whole life; weighted 130 kg in March 2021, dropped to 100kg and have maintained since.
Very active, recently did some ultra marathons (50k , and 100k), injured myself and using the opportunity to properly give water fasting a go. It’s much harder to run when carrying excess fat, goal weight 75-77kg.
I want to experience all the health benefits as well as lose this fat sustainably with minimum degradation to lean body mass. Research points me to the benefits of water fasting… have tried before but never lasted past day 4.
This will take a lot of courage and willpower and keeping this journal is my way of keeping myself accountable and sharing my progress.
Will take electrolyte tablets and magnesium supplement along the way, some pink Himalayan salt as well.
Will be having black coffee / tea occasionally.
Weighing myself every morning after using the bathroom and before drinking water.

Todays thoughts:
I feel great, not hungry at all, but nervous because I know this is going to be tough! Must not give in to temptation; especially the first few days.
I went for a 7km walk and will drink more water, take electrolytes and salt if I feel hungry.
Got to not think about food and remember my WHY every time temptation creeps in, I can do this!
