So how did the Captain Janeway themed diet go for me? It was great! I was hungry, but it was fun too. I lost a lot of weight, some of it briefly, got a haircut, and got some of my clothes ironed too. Fantastic!

• Beginning weight: 222.8 lbs.
• Day 4: 215.2 lbs. This makes me either doubt my scales or wonder if I was wearing something especially heavy the first time – but still, great! We’ll see how it is at the end of the week, perhaps somewhere in between, which would be fine.
• Ending weight: 213.2 lbs

Day 1:

I make porridge (oatmeal) for breakfast. I have 3 boys to feed, so I can’t make it all horrible, but I tell them what I’m doing, and they think it is hilarious, watching with great enthusiasm as I add cinnamon (which I hate) to mine, along with raisins (not keen either). I manage about 6 spoonfuls out of hunger before finding it too disgusting to go on. I make myself a litre of organic cafetiere (French press) coffee, put on some square heeled shoes, and stride around like a captain. The kids love it!

I make us all toast with a tin of mackerel for lunch. I wonder if it’s possible to add too much Sriracha sauce to that? Turns out it is! About half a centimetre all over the toast, and my face is sweating. The kids think this is the best diet ever. ‘Do we have to do it too? Can I try some? Is it as hot as that ghost chili sauce?’
