If you asked me 3 weeks ago if I were excited about trying this fast, I would have said "no, but I'm curious."
That is a standing thought, not eating for 23 hours is not something I regularly want in my life, but here I sit at the end of day 1 and I'm not feeling bad. I can tell that my body is absorbing the nutrients from this massive meal that was my one and only intake for the day.
How did I fare today? I worked out first thing, drank about half of a gallon of water between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm. Along with that I've had 2 cups of tea, without any sweeteners. The diligence of tricking the body to feeling like it's had something without having anything is an interesting feat. With focus, I had no problems, or felt off or the impending hangry until around 5 PM. I found that I didn't feel light, like I would expect but my focus wasn't as impacted as I expected either.
My meal today, was even technically under what my macros call for. However, it was plenty of food. I sat at about 1800 cal, roughly 200 grams of protein, 60 grams of fat, and 100 grams of carbs.
The goal is to see how this affects my focus, drive, performance, and overall feelings. I'm typically one to function at lower levels when I'm hungry so, I'm curious how the rest of the week will go. Tune in tomorrow for day 2.

Yo!
Welcome to the page! I hadn't planned on writing this yet, but I guess I'm doing it now because if not now, when? So, allow me to explain exactly what N.D.Y. is in our inaugural blog post!
What does N.D.Y. mean?
N.D.Y. is a mantra. It's a life style. It's a mindset. What's it mean? It means whatever you need it to mean. For me personally, it's for those moments when I'm beat down, feeling broken and like the weight of the world is just more than I can carry. That's when I tell myself "Keep going! You're not dead yet, so you're not done yet!" It's the mindset of "One more! I can handle it!" But it also means "Nerd, Do You." Don't hide what you're passionate about. Become it! Become the hero of your story. So, I want to welcome you to this page and invite you to start your journey to becoming stronger, faster, healthier, and hopefully wiser!
