The Master Reset

Read the diary in order

Thirty days of plant-based eating, honest reflection and keeping promises to myself, written day by day. Personal experience, not medical or nutritional advice.

  1. Day 1 · 4 November 2026

    Irritated, but I Kept the Promise

    The first day of a 30-day plant-based reset. Was I cheerful? Absolutely not. Did I keep my promise? Yes.

  2. Day 2 · 5 November 2026

    We Eat With Our Eyes First

    Still standing after a day without meat, with a cabbage stir-fry that thinks it belongs on a five-star menu.

  3. Day 3 · 6 November 2026

    Leftovers on a Second Shift

    Three days in, nobody has called an ambulance, and the beans have made a grand return. The bacon downstairs is another matter.

  4. Day 4
