Hi

Am about 3 weeks into this now and going strong. The fast days arent as bad as I expected hunger wise

However the headaches and funny taste in my mouth are quite bad.

The worse thing is my armpits have started to be very painful – hot and itchy particularly at night – anyone else had this? Theres no rash or lumps or red patches just a stinging sensation.

I’m deliberately not weighing myself to try and get away from the yo-yo diet effect and am just going off my clothes getting looser. I guestimate based on past experience I’ve lost about 5lbs so far. Going to keep at it til Xmas then weigh myself once and then I think switch to 6:1

Am hoping this will also help with my sugar addiction/bingeing as well. On my NF days I’m steering clear of refined carbs.

Its a fast day today for me – banana and soup so far and wow tuna for evening meal 🙂

No idea… but it occurred to me that you may need to use a different deodorant?

good luck with the 5:2 🙂

Hi LippytheLion
Just thought I’d wish you all the best.

I’m with you on not weighing myself. I was near some scales in early Aug, so did so then but haven’t done since. I am now wearing the smaller of the 2 sizes I fluctuated between – and not gone back up since. My aim is to drop another dress size(to UK 14) by mid Dec, roughly 6 months after starting.

I too am a sugar/chocolate addict/binger but that’s only happened once since early Sept. I’m much less interested in refined carbs but find I can have eg a couple of scones and jam without longing to binge as a result.

Really not sure what the armpits prob might be. Hope the headaches and funny taste soon subside.

Cheers!
