1 Week Without Food

I am going to go for a week - to start with - without any conventional food.

Instead I’m going to be making my own Soylent.

Why?

I love food. So if I love food, why am I avoiding it? For the same reasons that someone that loves music avoids One Direction. There is amazing food in Singapore but the average quality is pretty low. I’d rather have one amazing meal a week than 21 average meals. A.K.A I’m a fussy food snob. Food has turned into a chore. Because of #1, finding somewhere to eat and refuelling has turned into drudgery. I go to the same few places and have the same few meals day in, day out. Bored. I’m a slave to food. I need to eat 3 (ideally 4) times a day or I cease to function. I get irritable, thick-headed and eventually debilitating migraines. My work style means I’m most productive working in 6-hour-straight bursts and my metabolism doesn’t allow that so I’m normally either hungry or distracted. Tim Ferriss. He wrote The Four Hour Work Week. I already run a pretty simple, streamlined and outsourced life and the biggest interrupter to my day is the identification, acquisition, preparation and consumption of food. I am not eating or living healthy. Because of #1, #2 and #3, I’m not eating right, I don’t have the energy I should and I’m not looking after myself. I need to put on weight (not just muscle, but weight). I’m in a rut. I need a project to get my mojo back and this is geeky and nerdy and unconventional and it’s got under my skin.

Time to start researching…
