• Managing to maintain 78-79kg (but still have random weigh ins that hit as high as 82), which is a nice couple kgs below my lowest weight of previous years.
    Creatine does seem to increase bloat and water retention, and I’m unsure of the training benefits, but will keep it up in small doses for now.

    Eating dinner earlier and then fasting until noon seems to be the cheat code tbh.

  • I think I need to give intermittent fasting another go. I tried it for a week last month and definitely lost a bit of weight without getting too hungry. I found that it seemed to affect me mentally though. I just felt a bit foggy and less sharp than usual. I was struggling to keep up in meetings and was making basic fuck ups at work. I stopped the fasting and it seemed to sort me out but maybe I need to try again.

  • Getting used to being hungry is essential. Up at 530, work at 630. Make coffee 1 at work around then, coffee 2 at 9am, this just about allows me to get through, but 11-12 is hungry time.

    Creatine is supposed to help with mental sharpness too.
