My husband and I started the Fast Diet back in May after we had seen a program about it on PBS. We both had some extra weight that we were having a hard time getting rid of. It took about a month to get a feel for the diet and what worked best for us. Once We Found A “System” To Follow, We Started To See The Weight Come Off. I Lost 20 Lbs, He Lost About 25. Now We Only Fast Once A Week To Maintain It. Occasionally, recently after the holidays, we will have put on a little extra weight so we’ll Fast 2x a week for 2 or 3 weeks to get back to our normal number. Then we cut it back to 1x per week. It’s just that easy. I have discovered that I can Fast all day and have all my calories at dinner, and I don’t feel any hunger pains. Of course, everyone is different. I DO remember to drink a lot of water, which really does work. I often have club soda (which has the same benefits of water) and maybe add a Crystal Light to give it flavor.

Sometimes, when I really want a little something in the morning, I’ll have 1 oz of parmesan (a low calorie cheese with lots of flavor) and a couple of thin breadsticks and that gets me by. (It’s really just about having a little something in my stomach.) For dinner we often have grilled chicken or fish with lots of oven roasted vegetables. My easy go-to meal is one Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast along with an entire can of Bush’s Green Beans with lots of onion powder, 1/2 English Muffin and 1 oz Parmesan Cheese. This really fills me up and I enjoy it just fine. I sometimes adjust it a bit if I want to have a sugar free Jello pudding cup for dessert.

We have also noticed the health benefits that come along with this diet. More energy and better digestion. When we come back from a vacation or off a holiday, we really look forward to Fasting just to set our system right. I am definitely a fan of The Fast Diet.
