About me

Introduction	This blog is the story of my exploring a 5:2 as a healthier lifestyle choice. I was inspired by Michael Mosely's Horizon documentary, specifically how it improved his health profile and reduced his risk of developing heart disease. As I have previously suffered a TIA (mini-stroke), and have familial high cholesterol, I really want to see if I can improve my general health and specifically my risk of repeated stroke. I'm not significantly overweight -- as I start this I am about 80kg (176lb), which is about 10kg above the weight I maintained effortlessly until my mid 40's. As a non-meat eater, I haven't found much information out there to help me make the most of my fast days.
