Hi, I’m new too … ive tried lots and lots of diets, I’ve lost 2 1/2 stone and stuck for about 12 months – need to loose lots more but if I could shift another 2 1/2 stones before my holiday in August I would be very happy.
Good luck – New recipe book ordered – plan to do Monday and Thursday as my fast days. As they are working days and I can keep myself busy.
Hllo everyone, I am a newbie :)My name is Kate and I live in Wales . I started the 5:2 Monday and its my second fast day today. Not been too bad so far – just found I had a bad headache monday evening but I realised I hadnt had much water and after a few pints it solved the problem. Please can I ask – when is best to weigh? Do people weigh on a regular day or each day? I was thinking I would weigh myself saturday morning. Quite interested to see how this works – I am a bit sceptical – I have been doing the yo yo thing for years – so hoping this works for me…looking for a life changer not just a quick fix.
Welcome aboard, Ken. You’ve come to the right place. I think it’s safe to say you will be able to wave the big belly goodbye. No predicting how long it will take, everyone’s different.
If you have problems, feel free to share them. Whatever the difficulty, it’s very comforting to know it’s not just you. There’s bound to be someone, or even a lot of someones, who’ve been there and done that. And of course, as the pounds melt away, there are always a lot of posters around happy to give you a cyber-high-5 to celebrate!
Best of luck.
Hi Ken,
You need a calorie counter. This can be a book, see Amazon:
or an online calorie counter for example: http://caloriecount.about.com/
Having a book at home, a freebie given out with a women’s mag many moons ago, I only occasionally need to look online, but other posters will probably be able to recommend a reliable site.
That’s one area in which the Fast Diet books fall a bit short. They give you a total calorie count for each meal shown in the book, but there’s no accurate calorie-counting index at the back.
The two cookbooks, The Fast Diet Recipe Book and Fast Cook are both excellent, with some great, very un-diet-like stuff, but they have the same problem with the calorie list, although they do give the total count for each meal. The BBC Good Food website http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/
also has some interesting low-calorie recipes. Just last night we had tandoori chicken with a small portion of brown rice which came to 250 cal, with 20 cal or so for chutney.
Hope that helps.
Hey lancsken wellcome! Personally I don’t think you need the books, there is so much info and help out there, any questions and someone on here can help you with ideas. Its quite good to find your own way that works for you as well, as I think most people do. Good luck stick with it and keep us updated! 🙂
