Hi F&H,
I too am a newbie and started today on my first FD. I am not a breakfast eater, so lasted until 2.15pm before giving in too my veggie omelette sitting in the fridge at work. To be honest, this has been a lot easier than I expected, and I have only felt a bit peckish so far, although I know my hungry times tend to be afternoon/evenings so we will see. I too did SW for about 12 months, finishing 2 years ago having lost nearly 2 stone. However, sadly I put it all back on after going through a bit of a personal crisis, but desperate to get rid again. I didn’t like SW for it’s reliance on sweeteners and felt like if I didn’t eat another Mullerlight it would be too soon. The other thing I found is it didn’t really help me learn about portion control. That said, I know it would be a good idea to try to combine the two diets for good weight loss results, so I’d be interested in how you get along. I’d like to loose at least 1.5 stone before Christmas, but I don’t know if that is too optimistic…..😳
