Weight: 94.8kg

Day #1

  • could barely finish 1/4 of one jake meal
  • taste ok, texture ok
  • feeling full
  • feeling really sleepy
  • psychological weirdness: the brain wants to eat but the stomach knows it’s full
  • mental clarity
  • burp smells like vanilla
  • normal food makes me bloated

Day #2

  • very relaxing sleep but woke up with a headache

  • managed to eat 1/2 of one jake meal
  • feeling satiated
  • pulsating feeling in the head
  • sleepiness
  • headache seems reduced after massive amounts of water
  • pee smells like vanilla :D
  • normal dinner makes me bloated and gives me cravings

Day #3

  • deeper/restful sleep
  • went down way easier today, ate about 90% of one jake meal
  • 3 sips jake, 1 sip water = headaches gone
  • sleepiness, but less than usual
  • really really calm (lack of blood sugar spikes?)
  • not hungry at all
  • ate normal dinner anyway: got cravings and some of the calmness went away
  • first time winter is actually cold(ish) for me

Day #4

  • good sleep
  • shitty day with lots of errands, barely any time to even eat, let alone cook: this is where Jake really shined
  • first day where I was able to actually finish a whole Jake meal in one go (and not because of the cocoa)
  • added a little cocoa to Jake for some variety
  • seeds are great because they help me remember to drink slowly
  • too lazy to cook dinner, had a whole Jake (I’m loving this convenience)

Day #5

  • gassy in the morning
  • some winter hiking, feeling a bit weak (time to also order Jake Sport?) but not hungry until noon
  • Jake at lunch with some cocoa, went down very easy (probably from the morning hike)
  • some winter off-roading, felt focused and confident, definitely not hungry
  • Jake at dinner, went down very easily (probably because it was an active day)

  • regular lunch, have to ration Jake because apparently it runs out really quick if you eat it every day :) and I didn’t re-order quickly enough

Conclusion

I have not noticed any issues since occasionally consuming Jake, as such, I will continue to do so but will not be keeping such a detailed log, I will only record significant changes from now on.

After a few more months I’m also planning on having blood tests done, mostly for the peace of mind of those around me

Total weight loss this trial month has been 4.3 kg (95.7 -> 91.4) or almost 10 pounds (210.9 -> 201.5).
