Hi

I’ve been dieting for about a decade, ever since middle age started to slow me down and my weight started to creep up, but I’ve been unable to stick to it, so I’m hoping the Fast Diet is going to end that. I’ve gravitated towards diets with a scientific basis because they make rational sense, but most of them involve cutting out the foods I love – either permanently, or at least until I’ve reached my target weight. Give up sushi (because white rice) for a year or longer? Give up cake forever? Um, no thanks!

I found my way to this site after watching the recent BBC series “What’s the Right Diet for You?” on iPlayer. I took the test and discovered – surprise, surprise! – I’m a Constant Craver. I’m hoping that the Fast Diet’s non-fasting days will help me to manage my cravings at work (despite a subsidised cafe in all-too-easy reach!), with weekends given over to fasting and gentle activity. I might introduce a bit of HIT once I’ve lost a bit of weight, but for now I want to focus on getting the eating part right!
