Nearly all I know have managed to press their health challenge to "None". It tells the remaining amount after every consume. You should not worry too much that it takes a long time to get it moving. It is intentional to make it more difficult to decipher the exact healthinesses of each item, and give the nasty uncertainty about how much of the challenge is left and whether to consume good stuff or cheap stuff.
Actually I wrote since this is a major change, it is pretty much the first module that actually makes this resemble a RPG (wow only 13 months since start!!) . I would be happy if the active players could share some of their insights to the less active even here in public. Many haven't lived the rollout of consumable items (that started a good 15 weeks ago, making them very familiar for the active players) and they may seem totally baffling.
Write here to help! Don't worry too much to "give away the secrets", it is certain that you will retain the edge by being more active - and who wants his neighbor to die anyway??!

I've whittled mine down to none, yeah!
Given the warnings others sounded about this not being a 10-VEG affair, I started with a good chunk of 75 MEAT. This got my challenge from severe to, er, severe. Right. Maybe I could have got more. But I tried a bit of varied stuff, including 10 CXO (hmmmm, that was effective), and a number of merely satisfying stuff (50 CAN, 10 W1603W, etc) and effective (100 BEER). The MEAT was actually what gave the best boost - powerful, the rest being a mixture of mostly satisfying, and some effective.

MEAT certainly seems to be important. Saddam, Riddick, and Gabriel each consumed 100 MEAT and 100 CAN. Staples of the CK diet. In addition, we also drank W1600M, W1603A, W1609, LAG, and ate some VEG. A couple of us consumed a few CIGs. We all dropped the health challenge down to none with ample amounts of these items, and we all have room left to spare. Buy CAN!

Going Cheap: A Cautionary TaleCrichton didn't wait for the King's announcement of the coming sickness and proceeded to drink and eat well and not think much about what could come. But after a few days, news reached that pestilence had infiltrated the palace walls and the Kingdom was on high alert. Crichton thinking himself young and healthy decided to meet this challenge with a diet of VEG and MEAD-- Oh, hindsight! Precious, hindsight! Needless to say that this poor man's diet to make up for the costs of his too early lasciviousness did much of nothing, and he was left with only the earthy goodness of nature's bounty of Wisdom and Understanding to help him fight of the burgeoning sickness.... But what did Crichton do? Did he try the much ballyhooed (yes, that rhymed ) AYA that is known to give inter dimensional visions and grant unparalleled visions into souls of men? No, he grabbed his favorite pipe and began to CONSUME the cheapest wisdom he could find. And now Crichton, unable to start with the most potent stores available and grant his health a good base, must sit with his Health Challenge unmet and his hands in the fate God. Crichton, Earl of Fools

Not being able to determine exactly whether or not the bittersweet envelopment of an heirless death would be welcome over spending that which would be considered seven years worth of wages for this lowly commoner, goin2mars quickly placed all his remaining stores of food and drink back on the market in an effort to return the harrowingly resplendent goods to the ostensible demon from which they came."Next year I'd be better off growing such barbarous niceties from land I've sowed myself rather than paying a quarter of my lifes wages just to carry on for another glorious year in the Kingdom." He remarked. "For at least then I could rest satisfied knowing that I succumbed to my own shortcomings, limited knowledge and slightly advanced age, than ever considering some adventitious act of fate. Fate, it would seem to have pushed me into restoring all but five of the beautiful mushrooms I found on the market not more than a year ago, that I may recover from the ghastly loss."goin2mars shuddered as the thoughts of having to eat again next year ran circles through his mind. He found himself increasingly drawn to the idea of being able to seek respite in a house with a large plot of fertile land someday, rather than the cold barren nights wandering the kingdom aimlessly, without an animal (small game) in sight . -health challenge was a lot of fun all, I'm looking forward to the next one, even if my character might be a little on the edge .

Roopatra´s health challenge was tackled from brutal to none, but not without cost. I was testing the helpfulness of many different foods and drinks so it was not nearly cost effective. Luckily I now feel I can help my health management clients better.
Hokusai´s health challenge went from severe ---> none, in one go, drinking a largish quantity of W1603A. Either a lucky escape with an easy challenge or that wine is something powerful indeed.
HSH Duke of OZ was tougher, but luckily he is equipped with very good wine cellar and assorted spirits, foods and wisdom. Something as common as vegetables needed to be bought from market, but sometimes the simple things are important in varied diet. Challenge reduced from brutal to none.

Hey Ho.
Farewell my friend. It was nice knowing you. PS: I would get a son before the year ends, if I were in your shoes. My challenge for 1615: consume MEAT 50 The eating/drinking felt Effective. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Severe. I could still eat 150, drink 200 and use 200 units of wisdom this year. consume VEG 150 The eating/drinking felt Powerful. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Severe. I could still eat 0, drink 200 and use 200 units of wisdom this year. consume BEER 100 The eating/drinking felt Effective. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Severe. I could still eat 0, drink 100 and use 200 units of wisdom this year. consume MEAD 100 The eating/drinking felt Effective. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Severe. I could still eat 0, drink 0 and use 200 units of wisdom this year. consume CAN 25 The eating/drinking felt Satisfying. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Severe. I could still eat 0, drink 0 and use 175 units of wisdom this year. I did it all in one go.

25 VEG + 70 MEAT + 13 W1609 + 31 BEER + 26 MEAD + 52 CAN. All in small portions since the health challenge started. The eating/drinking felt Satisfying. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Brutal. I could still eat 105, drink 133 and use 148 units of wisdom this year.

My challenge was "Severe". I managed to tone it down to "None" with the following. (I consumed all this in small chunks over two days).
Drinks: BEER 100 W1604 20 GIN 9 In small quantities (between 1 and 5): RME, LAG, CLXII, W1600M, W1600, W1603A, W1613W
Food: FOIE 30 MEAT 80 VEG 50
Wisdom pleasures: MUS 5 CIG 70 CAN 55
I started consuming the cheapest things in the list (BEER, CAN, VEG for instance) once I've seen my challenge reduced from "Severe" to "Significant". Before that I was too worried... Now "You may still eat 54 units, drink 55 units and use 69 units of wisdom this year." so I think I could probably have done it with larger quantities of cheaper stuff. In the end it was quite expensive, but I prefered to play it safe.

Year Change to 1616 (update 1)
We are sorry, again it is double-year. From now on it should not happen any more, and the change to 1616 in starting now already, so that it will certainly be ready by Sunday, which is also when the Health Challenge will end.
- Gold dividends paid (2,000/CKG)
- DOM raffled (DOM exists: 35)

I was eating-drinking hearty and mixing it quite hardly with units of wisdom before the health challenge took me by surprise and made me fight for my life in severe conditions.
I got bewildered and started to desperately consume all different items that I have in small to average quantities with no visible effect. Accidentally I had swallowed few pure silver cryptonic Monero prepared for black Friday and after that I have suddenly started to feel really better.
Few more CXO, CVS, CAN, MUS, MEAT, BEER, VEG, CIG, W1600M, W1601B, W1613W, CLXII, VOD, FOIE, GIN, RME, LAG and one brilliant COH brought my health back to stable.
I may still eat 27 units, drink 84 units and use 43 units of wisdom this year.
