I am starting my fast diet tomorrow, I work on the night shift so I don’t know if it will be a help or not,I am over sixty an have arthritis in both knees, so at the moment it’s a bit of a struggle walking,I am going to try swimming to see if that helps.

Hi Brads27,

I’m a shift worker myself and I find that I use the day after my last nightshift as one of my fasting days. I find that to be the day that I’m least hungry, so yes I think it does help. The diet certainly has worked for me so far, I dropped 12 kgs in 3 months and I wasn’t all that strict over Xmas. Yes swimming is a good option for low impact exercise. I hope it goes well for you, good luck.

9 hours into my first day, I went swimming this afternoon and swam for an hour, had my food at 5pm and have 120 calories left, so may have a banana when I get to work

Good job, I fasted yesterday as well, weighed myself this morning and am down 1kg. Once you get into a routine that works for you it becomes easier.

Got weighed and have lost 5.9 kg, part of this will have come from the week before I started the fast diet, still happy with the loss.

Well done Brad, stick to it. The last week hasn’t been all that successful for me as I haven’t been strictly true to the diet, but next week I should be back in the right frame of mind will be back on track.
