Here's the plan for today:
"In the first one or two meals, have fruits as your main carbohydrate source. Starting the carb-up with fruit replenishes liver glycogen very fast. We believe that the faster liver glycogen is filled, the more effective the rest of the carb-up will be.
Continue drinking up to 10 litres of water today, don't gradually stop water intake. When you cut water intake later on, it should be a shock to the system.
For meals three and four, move to starchier, faster-absorbing carbs (potatoes, pasta or rice if it's tolerated well). Meal number 4 should be at around 4:00pm.
Now the "fun" begins. Water intake should be cut completely at 4:00 or 5:00pm. One or two more meals should be consumed after you cut water. Have only one if you're already looking "full." Have two if not. These meals should contains carbs derived from simple sugars: pancakes and syrup, pie filling, waffles, chocolate, etc. (see, it's not all bad!)

Also on Friday, take a herbal diuretic or black coffee (if it's not going to stop you sleeping)"
So, that's the plan. Here's how my day actually went:
We have a big corporate performance tomorrow, it was confirmed yesterday, so I now need to source Victorian costumes for the guys, sort out our driver and make sure everyone knows where to be and when.
I also need to get my new CRB check done to start working in more schools around the area, apparently this NEEDS to be done this morning.
So I had breakfast at 8:30am.
Breakfast was 1 banana, 1 apple and a Super Protein Shake.
I then went to the City Council offices to sort out my police check. At 10:00am I was out of there and ready for meal number 2.
Meal 2 was 2 apples and 250g of chicken breast.
While in the City centre I picked up some essentials and sourced the remaining costumes.
It was now 11:00am and I was due to teach at 1:15pm.
Unfortunately I'd felt like I may have looked silly carrying a gallon of water into the Council offices, so I'd gone 2 hours without any water.
Back on it at 1:00, made up for lost time: glug glug glug....
Home by 11:30 and time to cook lunch.
Lunch was 175g sliced, grilled white potato with garlic and sea salt, 2 sausages and a little gem lettuce.
Water consumption continues.
From 1:15 - 3:30 I was teaching in a primary school, limited water consumption as my gallon bottle prompted so many questions from the 10yr olds.
3:30 I head to the shops on my way home to pick up pancakes and syrup for my first sweet treat! Simple carbs, how I've missed you!
Interesting that I'm now over my sugar cravings and although I was 'allowed' simple carbs, I had no desire to pick up a chocolate bar at the checkout...
At 4:15pm I was eating my 4th meal.
Meal 4 was 100g golden syrup pancakes with butter and maple syrup - yummy!
I can't even tell you what it tasted like as it was devoured in seconds.
As of 4:30pm my I've cut water consumption completely - only 8 litres consumed today, let's hope it was enough!

| Carb, glorious carbs! |
Now I'm rushing because I'm meeting Becki's parents at a restaurant at 5:30pm and have tickets to the theatre for 7:30pm tonight.
Meal number 5 at 6:00pm. We went for an Italian meal before the theatre.
Meal 5 was a thin base pizza with roughly 100g chicken breast, half a red onion, 75g of bacon and 2 spring onions on top of the pizza sauce and cheese (estimates). Followed by a sticky toffee pudding and ice cream (gotta get those simple carbs!)
I accompanied dinner with 1 small glass of full sugar Coke.
I wasn't sure what to do about fluid consumption this evening. I know my aim is to 'dry' out by body, I had no access to diuretics or vegetable glycerine, so I opted for a filter coffee followed by a 330ml bottle of beer. Hopefully that should be enough to continue flushing my system - I needed to pee twice at the theatre, so all seems good.
By 11:00pm I was gasping for a drink and needed to pee. I certainly feel 'dry'.
By midnight my pee had some colour to it and smelled like urine - it's been clear and odourless for a few days now.
Let's see what happens overnight. This is where the magic should happen!
