Day 1 (Pre-Fast)

For seven minutes now it has been officially my first day of fasting… During the last couple of hours I indulged in all of my favorite destructive habits… I’m not sure what my calorie count was for the previous day, but I’ve eaten something like 3 pounds of various meats, maybe 2 pounds of fries, at least 500 ml of gravy, two big handfulls of curd cheese, and at least three liters of cola…

If you are curious what the actual meals were, you can look up smoked meat, poutine, St-hubert chicken… and you will understand.

If you read my bio, I’ve been eating in this unhealthy manner for the last 60 days… gained an amazing amount of weight, and now I really feel like crap…

In any fasting manual out there, you will notice that all of them suggest that you weed off slowly from food, eating more veggies, cutting out sugars, and refined foods… I say bullshit. I’m starting this fast cold turkey.

My goal during this fast is to lose weight rapidly, and to settle once and for all that fast weight loss is possible, and can be maintained after the fast with minor changes to your diet. I’m a hardcore foodie, so becoming vegetarian, or vegan, is not an option, thus I have no choice but to adapt little things to keep the weight off. My official weight-in will be in the morning and I will also take pictures everyday to make a time lapse video at the end of my 40 days…(actually 42 days).

I’m very excited about the outcome of this experiment, and I hope that I will be able to demonstrate that loosing 80 pounds of weight can be done quickly and without much effort. In fact if I can motivate only one person to do the same, my mission will be accomplished!

I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow, so I’m off to bed, hopefully I won’t be dreaming about food…that would suck.
