The fast started at 10.30 am on Saturday the 22nd of September Eastern Australia Time. The evening before I had pasta bolognese for dinner, and for breakfast, 2 slices of toast and coffee. Just before the start of the dry fast, I took some vitamin tablets and half a glass of water, that would be all until the end of the 4 days.
The first thing I noticed was a desire to go to the fridge, this lasted for the first 12 hours or so but was not a problem.
I have been a constant coffee drinker since the age of about ten and this one was the real battle, which is still ongoing. After about 8 hours without a cuppa, the withdrawal headaches started and have been ongoing since.
I did take one panadol with a sip of water due to the headache, which probably was from caffeine withdrawals, this certainly helped.
My start weight of 88.95 kg which is about 7 kg over my recommended weight.
After 24 hours - 87.25 kg which is a loss of 1.7 kg.
After 48 hours - 85.85 kg which is a loss of 3.1 kg.
I will be going to my workplace shortly, not having any food or water will certainly be a challenge.
Update further at the 72 hour mark.
