Hi Lilyjo!
your post made me smile because it reminds me so much of me lol! I have lived in the UK since 1983 but all my family live in France, Seine Saint Denis, banlieue parisienne lol!
I haven’t told my husband because he simply wont listen if I try to explain and so id rather avoid all π he is the main cook though so if he cooks something I will sneak on Google and go see how many calories lol, if it falls on a fast day haha!!
which days are you fasting then? I do Tuesdays and Thursdays, or Fridays, it depends, I am fasting tomorrow so it will be my turn to be irritable grrrr
good luck and keep us posted!! hope your headache eases off soon π

I couldn’t imagine living with someone and not telling them! There’s so much missed motivation there! π But of course it’s your choice π
The fasting days get easier Lily, you just have to stick with it for a few weeks. When you get into the swing of things you’ll start wondering how you ever lived differently π
I’m not from France by the way, mais je parle un petit peu de francais. And yeah I know there’s supposed to be something underneath the c in francais, but this is an office keyboard! π From the Netherlands myself, so had to learn it. Went to France for summer vacation in 2012 with a good friend, had a blast! I got completely hooked on fresh baguette with camembert though. Damned French.
Hi Nika
thanks for post, its not that I don’t want to tell him lol, I just know he wouldn’t understand, I may tell him eventually but its so easy to fit it in because our work schedules allows it and very often we don’t eat together in the evening!
very good French there π and I know what you mean about the baguettes grrrrrr I love them, just the smell of freshly baked baguettes sends me into a carbs frenzy arghhhhhhhhhhh best avoid then uh!!
happy fasting π

hi Lilyjo
I can relate to your hubby doing a lot of the cooking, and just as mine he uses olive oil and such but don’t worry olive oil is ok!
if you can try and make your fast days around the days he isn’t cooking? or like I do take a sneak preview on line about how many calories roughly on the meal, also have a smaller portion, that’s what I normally do lol..
I am sure you will be fine, it takes time to work things around your life but you will get used to it!
I think i’ll tell him eventually, he knows I am pretty headstrong so nothing he says will change my mind lol, but for now id rather avoid the aggro!!
he’s of slim build too so like yours doesn’t need to diet, luck sod!!
your English is perfect by the way!! have a good day and take care and happy fasting!

I am another newbie to this site, although not to this diet. My GP suggested it last May when I had gone for the yearly injection in my knee for arthritis. I have followed this diet since then. I have lost 2 st. 3lbs. I feel far better than I did, and look smarter too. I have another stone to get rid of yet, and my efforts are slowing down to almost no losses. I shall persist, but feel a bit disappointed at my weight becoming stable now. Any suggestions? I am 75 years old. Diabetic, and need to loose weight for health reasons.
Hi Forbern and welcome to the site π
well done on your success with 5.2! I guess we all hit a plateau at some time, I have been stuck on mine since October with only a half pound loss since grrr
but it will shift, so good on you for persisting! I have read on other forums that if you wanted to get off the plateau to maybe try 4.3, or a few 16.8 days, I haven’t tried none of those so cant really comment.. am sure someone will be along soon with more helpful suggestions!!
all the best and happy fasting π
My H’s reaction to my becoming a faster was ‘I will support you all the way so long as you still get my meals’ yeah right……
Unfortunately for me it was easier to make sure he had a cooked meal on my fast days than to let him run riot in the kitchen (I am a bit of a control freak)
I do know I couldn’t have not told him – so good luck to you two π
Hi Lindyw and thanks for your post,
Men hey! Well yours seems quite chilled about it and thats great lol, i will tell mine… And i can relate about letting him run riot in the kitchen, grrrrr…mine is the typical “uses every pan in the cupboard, arghhhh” i am a bit of a control freak too lol and like my kitchen tidy!
Happy fasting π
