I’m celiac which means my body cannot process gluten (no wheat, no flour, no soy, etc) and I’m also intolerant to lactose and casein so cannot drink milk or eat dairy.
Every challenge offers an opportunity and this dietary annoyance means I can drop weight as and when I feel like it.
For example on the Sunday night before my 3rd Everesting when I’d just got back from a week-long family trip having done zero exercise and a total of 20 minutes stretching punctuated by eating like a trooper, I decided that I wanted to drop some weight for the Everesting the following Saturday.
My usual morning weight is around the high 77s to the mid 78s and post-trip it was 80.2kg the evening I landed.
I set 76kg as my target weight and started working towards this goal on the Monday morning with the clock ticking down to the Friday night/Saturday morning 4am start.
By the Wednesday night I was 76.3kg and stayed at that weight until the start.
