Hi everyone

I started this diet over 2 months ago after visits to my docs for blood tests and to say I was pre-diabetic. I was mortified. I have found the diet great to do. Fasting started off hard but is sooo easy now. Mondays n Thursdays for me, I have lost nearly 2 stone and feel and look great. I have a bit to go yet but I’m so happy with myself I just had to share. The best diet I’ve ever done n I’ve tried many.

I’m supposed to have around 2100 cals but find it hard to eat that many eating healthy. I add soda to my wine now which I do have on a weekend. I still eat choccys just not so many n have takeouts but not as much. It’s so easy fasting Monday n thurs as then my weekends are pretty much as n when I like. It’s really easy to stick to n I’ve lost inches too

Hi Catratt:

I am impressed. You have lost 28 pounds in 8 weeks?

Are you eating anything at all?

Thanks lol. Yes I am but just a lot more healthy. I think my belly has shrunk inside as I get fuller quicker n I’ve learned to enjoy each mouthful n not woof it down like I used to. I’m hoping on my Monday weigh day that I’ll have hit the 2 stone mark. My clothes are getting too big now and I’ve bought some new ones which make me feel great which spurs me on every week

Caztratt – I have a similar experience to your own having lost 5-1/2 stone in nine months. Two things which I think are important to me: go low carb on fasting days; eat well on the other days, with the occasional over-indulgence. On the latter point, if non-fasting days are constrained so as to become a sort of second diet then there is a risk that the metabolism will slow down and fat loss will become progressively more difficult. I am sceptical about the simplistic calories in calories out model: the metabolism needs an adequate supply of food for most of the time in order to keep running.

Peter, excellent advice, if I say so myself.

I am going to eat low cal, low carb for two consecutive days a week, then just enjoy myself (without consciously overeating) the other five.

I am confident this will be my key to success. If I continue to count Weight Watchers points every single day, I will surely lose my mind.
