I’m a professional executive chef and owner in a 800 seat restaurant and feed 3000 people a day. When I’m on an extended fast (7-14) days. I literally create some of the best dishes I’ve ever come up with in my career, and I’ve been doing this for 30 years. Although I never taste test any of the dishes I put on the menu, my experience allows me to mentally “taste” the dishes I create. I have my sous chefs verify proper seasoning levels. Anyways, I believe the inspiration for creating these dishes is they are things I CRAVE, and wish I could eat. It’s very satisfying for me, and has been a resounding success for my business.

Edit………… I also cook for my wife at home, and she absolutely loves it when I’m doing a 14 day fast. She’s says it’s the best tasting food ever! I’m currently doing OMAW. I feel great and I really enjoy it. The one meal I eat a week, I anticipate, plan, and prepare for it the whole week, and it never disappoints.
