@CB41. No worries, fit for me means cardio fit. Muscle means toned. So have you started yet? Hows it been so far? If youre finding it difficult hang in there for at least a month. After that it does get easier. Get rid of the sugar and simple carbs and it is a lot easier to be successful.

Avoid sugar, grain based carbs like bread, pasta, pizza, cake, biscuits. No fruit juice. Some fruit is OK but avoid bananas. Stick to berry type fruits and the more tart fruits like kiwi fruit, tart apples, oranges. Eat lots of veggies but no potatoes.

Good luck it works. I lost 22kg (48 pounds) over the course of one year. Been in maintenance since March this year.

Ok Im a male so not the best person to ask about meals. My tastes in food are very simple. Im in maintenance so I do 6:1 and prior to that I was doing 5:2 but my fast days have always been water only. I allow myself to have two coffees with milk. So probably 50 calories on my fast days.

Breakfast is usually two table spoons of full fat (low sugar) yogurt with a handful of mixed berries or almonds with pumpkin seeds.

Lunch is usually tuna with a salad.

Dinner is plate of charred mixed veggies shallow fried in olive oil with seasoning. Sometimes some chicken. Sometimes a tuna veggie salad. Sometimes a meat or veggie curry.

Desert is usually full fat cheese, almonds, walnuts brazil nuts.

I do eat meat but not a lot. My tastes are pretty simple. Best to ask others if you food has to be exciting.
