Chocolate-Only Diet: Day 2

Yesterday I went shopping, so this morning’s breakfast is more diverse. A brownie adds a comparatively wholesome texture, while for drinks I’ve got a mocha and a glass of chocolate milk. Takes me back to childhood, having a glass of milk with a meal.

The stomach ache of yesterday is gone, though again I feel slightly wired and have an elevated pulse.

While water hasn’t bored me as I expected, nonetheless I’ve been drinking much less. As my typical post-lunch liquids were zero-calorie soft drinks, I guess mostly I was craving sweetness rather than hydration.

By pacing myself beforehand, tonight I’ve left stomach space for dessert. Which turns into three courses. Because I can.

I’ve tracked my daily energy balance over the last six months with an app called Myfitnesspal. Each night it estimates the weight I’d be in five weeks, if I maintained that day’s eating and exercise. Tonight’s result: nine kilos heavier. That’s over a kilo a week, or more than doubling my weight within a year.

Shocking yes, but it’s all about the frame of reference. As the chart shows, my weight gain still won’t match that of a newborn human or whale. Many people consider them to be adorable, so perhaps they’ll feel the same about Tubby Banno.

In all seriousness, be careful. Elevating your sugar levels so high for so long can have some serious health side effects.

Banno, you are a nut job. But this is hilarious and provided this house with some easter lols! You could bake a chocolate cake with kidney beans if you’re looking for some fibre.
