Hi MrsTweedle. I liked the name of your thread. Did you just make that up or nab it from “quotes for all occasions”?
All the people here seem like goodhearted souls, willing to share. Many have a great sense of humor- you’ll fit right in.
There are already tons of interesting topics to choose and if you can’t find exactly what you want, just ask. Most likely, someone has had that experience and wants to talk about it, too.
Hey Mrs T, I think all the information you want (tips and such) are already on all the different topics on this forum. Just have a look around, a lot of people encounter the same problems and get the same advice – and you can read a lot of personal stories that may be very inspirational to you!
So read, comment and keep posting 🙂
Hello, and welcome!!
I love your thread name!!! And very true, too!! Haha.
My biggest tip is try a few different strategies to find what works for you 🙂 I started off eating a late breakfast and a late afternoon tea on fast days, now I make one meal and eat some as late as I can, and the rest at dinner time.
I eat lots of vegetables and some lean protein (sometimes a good size piece of that too!!). It’s amazing how much food can be made for 500 cal. Soups are great as broth is so low – I use a natural one which comes in at a whopping 7cal per 100ml. It’s also really delicious and satisfying by itself, as long as I drink water too as I think it’s a bit salty.
I iften use light Philadelphia because I really like creamy stuff, and a tablespoon or two in a frypan of veges and chicken is just yum!
Running curbs my hunger pangs. I get blue if I don’t exercise.
Drink lots!! And I would advise against adding sugar or sweeteners.
Give it time. I had always been a daily weigher/reactor, but am now weighing maybe every month. It means I can look at this as a lifestyle change, rather than a daily torture to battles against. The weight might not come off today, but it will come off tomorrow.
I lost 2.6kg in my first month, and 4.5cm off my tummy. I am sosososo proud of that because it is probably the fastest I have ever lost over that amount of time – I would lose 3kg of water in 3 days by eating just veges, and then congratulate myself and put it right back on. So, slow and steady is definitely winning the race for me.
Good luck and happy slimming!
Hi there! I am one month into the Fast Diet and doing a weekly blog post about my progress and recipes. I am a gluten free foodie so this diet is perfect for me. If you want to have a read of what I eat on a fast day (with calories and recipes included) or want to hear how my journey is going, today’s new post is here: http://meg-made.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/lose-day-tuesday-v.html
Good luck with your Fast Diet journey too!!! xx Meg
