Hi missiea58. I too am just starting this diet. So far I have done one fast day, and did not find it difficult. I encountered only 2 adverse side effects – first one was that my stomach rumbled quite a bit at around 8pm in the evening, and the second was that I had a little difficulty getting to sleep that night. But these were not extreme – I am not put off doing my next “fast” day, which is Monday. Actually, I quite enjoyed not having to think about food for a change. I want to lose 4 stones, so I have a long way to go. I am hoping this is the diet that finally works for me (I’ve tried everything else). Good luck to you.

I started on this journey on Thursday and done one fast day. I was successful up until my daughter got malteasers out. I am not disheartened by my mistake, I have just carried on today. I know I am going to find it easier next week when im back at work and not around the cupboards still full of xmas food ( hoping my kids will eat it soon haha)

Good luck to you both on your journeys and im sure we will all be successful. I have a way to go and need to lose just over 3 stone but im determined to do it.
