Thanks for this Matt. Was looking forward to the tale of the tape.
This echos my experiences. I do a 4 day cleans every few years and now with ager feel like I need one twice a year.
Besides the clarity and weight loss the feeling of regaining power back from food and alcohol. I use the apple example all the time. How biting into the apple you get the same sensory response that only came from cheese or salumi.
As I had mentioned on another post, I just returned from Baghdad and was on a fast of my own which trimmed down some need weight if I intend on wearing tailored clothing.
That being said, here is to an aperitivo some time soon.
That's awesome Matt, I have struggled with my weight gain for 4 years now. I weighed myself January 1st and came in at 293 pounds, significantly more of an "OH SHIT" moment than I was ever hoping to have. I knew my weight had become a problem but didn't want to acknowledge it. From then through the end of February, I just tried to eat a little cleaner and cut out late night meals and I would reevaluate March 1. Just like that, 20 pounds off and down to 273. Now I am on to phase 2 of this lifestyle change, cutting out absolutely all fast food and trying to make most everything that goes into my system as natural as possible. So before I eat I order food or cook at home, I just ask myself if the food came from God or came from a factory and it is working wonders. Down to 266 now and keeping it up way easier than I ever expected to. I am cooking more and enjoying it a lot, still a long way to go to being where I want and need to be, but it's a good start. Cheers to healthy living Matt, best of luck staying on the right track!

This confirms something I have been to do. A serious reboot after the past two years. While there are plenty of similar options in California, New Mexico or wherever.... the idea of this German operation (the Bond references make sense) make it all the more desirable, considering the discipline during the two weeks. I’m sold and appreciate these notes more than you know.
Great write-up as always....for those of us who have a few more years before we are popping over to Uberlingen for weeklong fast, do they offer programs that are remote?
In lieu of a European wellness spa (one day!), I start the Prolon fasting mimicking program tomorrow for the exact same reasons you state. Thanks for this timely and inspiring account of your experience.
Bravo!
A very important subject and glad you put it out there to encourage others.
We have been pursuing much the same course for two years and it has changed our lives in ways we’d couldn’t have imagined.
We always have choices. Glad you grabbed the wheel.
Keep up the good work!

I liked the bit about the Kronenhalle - a place I like to visit a couple of times a year. Just superb.
Great article. Thanks for your candour.

Great notes from your experience at the clinic. Thx for the insight. I knew you would find a vintage piece
