Day 1: -0.1 kg

It's the second day getting on the scale in the morning, and I'm down by 100g as expected. I cooked all my meals yesterday, and will try again today. I make 280g (dry) of brown rice in the morning, then stir-frying up some veggies and meat. The difference with real food is that I don't get the cravings to binge. Processed food has something that makes you want to eat more and more of it (probably the "natural" flavouring additives). It's also the texture, it's so smooth and easy to go down. The combination of sugar and fat in an easy-to-eat form is a pure endorphin fix. Real food has more bulk and fibre, and you realise you're eating something from the ground or off an animal. It's harder to abuse food in this form.

Sure, I'll forget about all this eventually, and go back to eating two pizzas, a side order of wings, and a side of tater tots in front of the tv, watching some bad Lifetime movie, and falling asleep. But for now, I want to get to into Tour de France shape :)
