    So as mentioned in a previous thread ( http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055900206 ) I'm interested to see if fasting will slow my metabolism to enable me to put on weight once I finish fasting.

    I haven't eaten in 25 hours however I have been drinking alcohol (quite a lot in fact) up to 15 hours ago. So the conditions for this experiment aren't perfect by a long shot as the alcohol will have dehydrated me. But I usually weight myself at the end of each day and lately I have been 10 stone 9, so I will use that as a marker. If after 3 or 4 days of eating again I will know whether the experiment was a success or failure if my weight is greater than 10 stone 9. I'm hoping I will hit the 11 stone mark.

    I just weighed myself there now and I am 10 stone 3 pounds, which was quite suprising, I'm not sure if my weigh is always around that mark at the start of each day or if I have lost a good bit of weigh due to not eating and being dehydrated from the alcohol. Anyway its early days and once this experiment is over I can weigh myself at the start of the day so I'll have more info on which to conduct my experiments. If it is a success then I may repeat the experiment in 2 weeks and do it more professionally next time ie/ no drinking next time.

    Anyway I'm starving now so gonna head in to KFC for a family sized bucket of chicken mmmmmmm.
