Having started the diet 4 weeks ago, I am delighted with the results so far. I have struggled with my weight for the last 9 years, partly due to my love of food (chocolate in particular) but also an under active thyroid. No matter how much exercise I did or cut back on food I didn’t see as dramatic effect as I have with this eating plan. The recipe book is delicious and fairly straight forward, I have had to buy a few new items that would not have not graced my cupboards prior, but I have enjoyed every meal that I have prepared. I have not craved chocolate at all, and even on the fast days I have managed to cope with the 500 calories and not feel hungry. I was worried that I might be inclined to binge after a fast day due to hungry but not so, if anything my eating habits on the 5 days have vastly improved. I am actually enjoying food that is good for me.
I do not class this as a diet, this has become my normal eating plan, and even if I go out for food I am more likely to pick the healthier option than one I would have normally picked. In total I have lost 11llbs in the 4 weeks, but seen a dramatic affect on my stomach, not as bloated and lost 6 cm in total, dropped one dress size (2 more to go) and feel so much happier in myself. I would recommend this plan to anyone!
