Hi everyone!
I am a 34 year old Canadian woman. I am in the Canadian military, but currently have an injury and an office job which leave me less active than normal! I am 5’2 and have fluctuated between 113 and 132 in the past 20 years. After 3 weeks on the Fast Diet I am at 119.6, down from 122 and feel really good despite the small change on the scale. I did go down to 118.8 during the first week, but went up and haven’t gotten back to that number. I do feel leaner which shows in my body fat % on the scale. I would ultimately like to be 115. I have high blood pressure and am on pain meds for chronic pain. I try to walk about 3-5 per week on the treadmill for 30-40min to help with my chronic pain and weight loss. So far I love the simplicity of this diet and was surprised at how simple it is to follow!

Hello,

My blood pressure was always kinda low for my age (61) but it was creeping up. The last time I was in the office, it was 100/65 and the lady commented on it being excellent. My LDL and Triglycerides were always very high and now they’re reasonable, though I take a statin, but now only 1/4 the dose I used to take. Fasting has worked for me on all fronts, I believe, so I encourage you to keep going. I’ve lost about 50 lbs but I don’t lose weight every week or even every two weeks probably. I think for me I lose weight as long as I don’t go too overboard on the non-fast days. But of course I like to go overboard some, and I do, but only very thoughtfully now days.

My wife and I love Canada. We always think we might have to move there, depending on who ends up running this country. But I wonder about your politicians too.
