Baby and Red,

Weight loss is not a linear thing. On the assumption that you are not overeating on non fast days then Im guessing say 2000 cal for non fast days. So 2 fast days you’ve only really been short about 3000 cal for the week. 9.3 cal per gram of fat. So how much should you expect to lose? 3000 / 9.3 = 322 grams or about 0.7 pounds!! Thats all, there is no magic involved. That’s a glass of water per week!! Over the course of 2015 I averaged 0.7 pounds loss per week. I lost 44 pounds and now weight 158.

Be VERY mindful of what you eat. Avoid sugar AT ALL COSTS. No cakes, biscuits, chocolate, ice cream, health cereals are the absolute worst for sugar!!. Read food labels carefully, more than about 10% sugar throw it in the bin never to be eaten again. Avoid simple carbs like pasta, pizza, bread, rice, potatoes etc. These are sometimes only special treat foods.

For you fast days have high fat low sugar yogurt with some almonds and a small handful of raspberries or strawberries or blueberries for breakfast. For lunch/dinner have a large bowl of salad and veggies with some say 100g of tuna or chicken. Have any green veggie, cucumber, zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, peas, maybe half a tomato, some tofu etc. A chili if you like it spicy, add some apple cider vinegar and a splash of low sugar dressing. This will keep you satiated for a long time.

Don’t believe all those hype fad diets where you can lose 10 pound per day blah blah blah. Even if you ate nothing for the entire week that’s 14000 cal / 9.3 = 1.5kg or about 3.5 pounds!!

Slow and steady and you’ll get there. It works, just give it a genuine try.
