A weekend of chocolate, pavlova and wine for me too!! Hey ho! I’ve got to try fasting today and tomorrow this week as at a conference Wednesday and I usually do exercise classes Thursday and Friday morning. They are quite high energy ones and not sure I’d last the day on a fast day. Anyone got any experience with this?
Reckon I’m going to struggle with two fast days together – can’t usually manage one!
Good weight loss Caryann
Hi sleepydoc!
I did two fasts back to back in my first week.
I found the first day relatively easy but struggled with the second day. You’ll just need to plan your meals carefully! Drink loads of fluids hot or cold! I went to bed eRly the first night so that I wouldn’t be tempted to accidentally
Wander into the kitchen! It’s hard but can be done! Oh and you’ll feel a wonderful sense of achievement at the end of it- give it a go! Good luck!
Hello Everyone! Great we are all here for each other on a Monday and I really mean that. Fab weight loss Carryann and Izzy! I am not stepping on scales today – am going to do a 1000 today / 500 tomorrow then one other 500 this week and see where I am after that! So glad people are helping each other on here – it’s better than being on your own isnt it?!
Catch up soon!
Keep going! You can do it!
I was so good all day yesterday, then went to my friends for dinner who usually cooks really healthy stuff only to find she had opted for burger and chips! Would have been rude not to eat it but I did decline on the wine front!
Doing ok today, few grapes and plenty of tea and water. Planning soup for tea. Would be really proud of myself if I actually do it today – only manage 1/5 proper fast days so far

Hello lovely people, I have been quiet this week after my usual loosing 2 lbs then immediately gaining them again because I have NO willpower. I weighed myself yesterday and have lost 2 pounds in total since I started this so not massive but at least I haven’t gained! Will post weight again on Monday morning, no pressure for anyone else to do the same, I just find this helps me stay focused over the weekend(Well that’s the theory anyway!) Welcome to any more news on the page and keep going everyone it’s a long haul!
Hi everybody, I’m doing a Sunday weigh in this week as I will be away for a couple of days,so I’m 77.2 a loss of 400 gms I’m happy with that… I had to do a complete 16 hour fast for medical reasons this week so I only did one other day of 5:2 but the result is there….. I’m finding I’m less obsessed with my fast days and just get on and do them. This week will be my 4th week! I can’t explain how,but I feel much healthier.
Good luck to everyone this week.
Hello all……feeling fed up….I have had a bad week and haven’t managed to fast at all…no willpower:-( worst start the day ever as I weighed myself and an now a pound heavier than when I started 3 weeks ago:-( 🙁 I can believe how my mood fluctuates so much around food….I was so motivated and now feel rubbish….I know I just need to draw a line unser it and focus on today – but not finding it easy to stick to a plan!
hi nixie dont give up! today is a new day! you can totally do it. is today one of your fast days? i just started this week and fasted monday and am doing today, i got up and ate some grapes which was a mistake lol but way better than the chocolate biscuits i would normally do! i have my meals planned out for today and use my fitness pal to check calories.
I work from home mostly and struggle not to eat during the day so i am having 3 meals and 2 snacks (one of which was the grapes) im having some muesli and strawberries around 11 then an egg white omelette for lunch and a king prawn stirfry for dinner with some celery to get me through my bar shift tonight (i think i will struggle as i wont get to bed till about 1am)
the good thing about this one is its not really a plan try and figure out some really yummy low cal food im enjoying the challenge of seeing how much i can eat for 500 cals lol
keep your chin up you can do it
@ nixie: don’t beat yourself up about it. I’ve only stuck with it for two and a half months because I find it easy. I’ll be honest, I never thought it would be, but on Mon / Thurs I just start the day with a cup of tea then nothing to eat till 18:30 when I can have something filling / normal like 2 poached eggs or beans on toast. Really thought I’d be hungry but it doesn’t seem to happen. In fact I tend to get hungrier on the days when I’m eating.
Some weeks my weight’s gone up but overall I’m losing 1-2 pounds a week
I’m struggling too. Not managed any fast days this week and a weekend of excess ahead this bank holiday staying with friends who love to eat and drink! Haven’t lost any weight abc seem to eat so much on non fast days! Shall we just start again next week?! I definitely find it easier to eat nothing until tea time. I’m going to try Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Shall we do it together nixie?
Thank you for all be positive remarks it really helps! Sleepydoc definitely not the best time to start over the bank holiday weekend I’m with you! Okay Tuesday morning the work starts and we’ll really try hard! Keef66 thanks for cheating your tips, I seem to be okay to during the day but find I am dreadful in the evenings. The snacking starts when I am preparing tea for everyone else which I can’t avoid and by 9 o’clock I have given up. Sowhen I start again next week I am going to try your tip eating nothing until about 6:30 7 o’clock at night and see if that works. Have a great bank holiday everyone! Nixie
Hi everyone,
I haven’t posted on here since the middle of April but have been reading everyone’s posts which have helped keep me motivated. I have lost 2lbs in the last 3 weeks (4.5 in total now) Not a huge weight loss but at least I am now going back in the right direction. I have just read the fast beach diet book which has helped with some new ideas, so for the next 6 weeks I am going to try and stick to that. I will fast 2 days a week and then on non-fast days stick to between 1250 and 1500 calories. I go on holiday in 12 weeks and am wanting to lose 21 lbs before I go. Will try and log on more often and return some of the support I have had from you all over the last few weeks. Good luck everyone this week.
Hi all, do you have a problem with me joining this group?
My welcome thread is here: https://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/topic/newbie-looking-for-inspiration/
I’m looking for others to discuss the ups and downs with this diet 🙂
I’m usually going to fast Monday and Wednesday as it fits in my with my family and allows me to have teas with my kids etc.
Thanks Izzy, I’m down 5lb in the past 3 weeks just from eating healthy during the week, the weekends are a bit of a nightmare usually, live for the weekend an all that! I have A holiday abroad in October so losing as much weight for that is the goal, however I want it to continue after that and just resorting to yo-yo dieting!
I can usually get by without breakfast so I am going to start the fast like that.
Lunch I am going to have a small can of tuna (60g) with a satsuma and black coffee.
I haven’t decided on tea of yet but it leaves me a fair few calories to play with after lunch.
Hi everyone. This is my first week on the diet and i have completed one fast day so far. Have been looking up recipes for fast days as i am such a foodie this is torture!! Might try to do a day of liquid only and save the 500 cals for one evening meal. Hoping for success anyway. Any tips on speeding up weightloss? Inspiration stories?! Xx
