No Food for a Day: What I Discovered in 24 Hours of Fasting
I stared at the scale and didn't want to believe what I saw two weeks ago.
110 kilogram.
Well, the days when I had 70–80 kg were about ten years ago. I was running marathons almost every month.
Since then, the direction of my body weight was only upwards. I worked myself from 80 to 90 to 100, and during the pandemic, I added another 10 to make the final score 100.
This spring, I decided to change that. Enough is enough.
I experienced the difference between high and low weight from 2013 to 2023. Having less body weight feels much better.
What happened?
What is the problem? Well, I love good food. There is nothing better than fine dining.
Slowly, since I stopped running marathons, I replaced training with snacking.
At every business event, little snacks are served constantly. Western society tends to overeat.
When I remember my youth, we mostly had three meals per day. Sometimes out of time constraints, I skipped lunch.
The habit of snacking was nothing I learned as a kid. It started with my professional work life.
