The fast started at 10.30 am on Saturday the 22nd of September. 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 am tempted to take some paracetamol but have managed to hold off with some distractions, doing Torah codes, went for a drive, rested, enjoyed some sunshine.
My start weight 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 30 hours - 87.00 kg which is a loss of 1.95 kg.
I imagine tomorrow will bring up some challenges being a work day, will update then.
