Actually it's grey and miserable out but I'm smiling anyway. So far today I have eaten three crunchy carrots, two crispy crackers and a cup of golden vegetable soup. I'm feeling energised and happy.
I finally got around to watching Michael Mosley's original Horizon programme "Eat, Fast and Live Longer" here:

(Many thanks to @wiltdnrUSA at thefastdiet.co.uk forums for providing the link.)
It reminded me of all the amazing physiological effects that arise from fasting, for example the brain reacting by producing new neurons. I'm going to be healthy AND clever! The program also revealed that Michael lost around a stone in weight in his first 5 weeks on the diet. While I can't believe I will have results anything like that, I am optimistic about my progress and confident I can keep going as long as I need to.
Happy Monday folks!
