Hi and welcome:
Of course, you did not lose 5.7 pounds of fat in one week. But it is a good start. Please don’t give up. This might help you understand how fast you might lose weight going forward: http://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/topic/tdee-for-the-curious-or-why-dont-i-lose-weight-faster/
Good Luck!
thks its so distracting seeing others enjoying pies and cakes! and sadwiches! but you know you are winning if you can see them and not be tempted to help yourself thats the biggest temptation when people say to you help yourself….you cant always excuse yourself-their immediate reaction if you say why not is “you dont have to go on adiet, you’re not everweight………”
thank you had just one bananaa so far, and some tomatoes-how much rice ccan i eat/could I not eat? wit my mum’s food tonight at the end of the second 1/2 of fasting day 1!
do you carb even on your fasting day? is it within your limit-easier done on your own than in company- i mean there is carb in fruit(27g out of 236g) in an average banana for instance
hi thks for your reply dolce vita about carbs.
what i dont understand is thaat when I did the questionaire about calories it said that instead of 600 on a fasting day i had 1150 about?-ok i am a man but thats sounds like a huge difference- when i use and plan my calorie counter for the day it averages about 900
LOTS OF GOOD TIps here thks-sorry i lots my ineternet- yesterday”-Hello! Yes I do have carbs even on my fast days. But that means I have to limit my portion to little…to stay under 500 calories…but I dont mind. My staple food ishigh carb…so I want to do things that I can do for a lifetime. I do balance between protien and carbs. Have a cup of rice…say 100gms and load it up with lean meat and veggies.”=when i make rice for myself and my mum i stick to 100g-rice has a high GI compared to taties and means i dont have sinus/skin irritataions as much staying of wheat/yeast & dairy as much as i can… “You can easily select a full meal with some low cal meat and veggies and continue to enjoy rice.”
yeah could you give me meal options? i can then cook for me and my mum..-thats how i can retain control-i managed to cook fish last night and leave out the oil! it was fine! “Do you want meal options? (I bought the book and they have some good meals.) Then on the internet there are some great options of 500 calories meals.”-what site address do you use?
My strategy is…eat under target calories but eat regular food. That is the ONLY way I can do this long term…if I am too strict…i know I will give up…
I’m only on week 2 David, will start week 3 on Monday with a fast.
Thanks for the encouragement la dolce. Had the first of 2 meals out last night. Hadn’t eaten much all day then had a 2 course evening meal plus wine and put a lb back on this morning which like you I’d expected. I’m out for my husband’s birthday meal tonight and actually still feel full this morning so will probably not eat much again until I go out. Hopefully it will all even out so I lose a lb by next weigh in day on Friday.
Have a great Saturday.

thks angela i surprised myself to be honest, calorie counting has always made me depressed so i go f calorie restrictions i.e. low carb hi gi which is what weightwatchers taught with its- of course the downside is its well below trent when compare to my 2 weighin. thjis was my 3rd weigh in- mind over matter thats all i say to myself always.
You can be forgiven for being a little bad when its that time la-dolce. Just get back in track later in the week.
I’m doing OK this week so far, have lost 1 of the 2 lbs I put on over the weekend and trying to be really good today because I think I went slightly over yesterday. Tomorrow is another fast day and this weekend I’m going to try to be careful what I eat so I don’t put on 2lb again. I have a feeling I won’t lose this week (weigh in day is Friday) but if I can go downward from next week I’ll be happy with that.
My husband has joined me now, started last Thursday and he’s doing really well so hopefully he’ll lose tomorrow when he weighs in. He needs to lose around a stone and I’m guessing he’ll do better than me. I’ve come to the conclusion men do better at this than us ladies unfortunately which is so not fair!
Hello David and Karen…horrible week. I am being very bad …probably cos it is that time of month…(sorry david). I need to get back on track. I have not lost my 2 lbs of the weekend weight.
Karen…how are you doing?
David…that is Brilliant!!! Excellent progress 🙂 can you tell me how you planned your eating…was it all very low carb…what is your typical meal on a fast day and a non fast day?
FAST DAY AGAIN TODAY
so this eve i will avoid carb.
my plan la dolce at my mums is a) to skip breakfast as it makes me hungry in middle of day(unless its savoury)….stick to high GI/low gL fruit and veg during the day so i can feel full and only have carbs(small portion) at night-there is always loads of carb in protein foods.
so this eve i will avoid carb.
my fast days are in the week not weekends but that is determined by your routine; its hard fasting if you are under pressure/stress due to social engagements or work.
thks for coming back dolce vita
