hi

i thought i had posted before but i clearly hadnt!

i am 5 foot 7 and weigh 184 pounds and you know, This is at 50 POUND INCREASE due to taking MOOD STABILIZING meds. i am not greedy. my metabolism changed.
anyhow, i have to get the weight off.

i started atkins but it turned out to be a sham because it cant be a lifestyle long term. its not liveable. it was like a cult. most people lose then plateau for ages. i lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks and plateaud for 2 months cos they kept telling me to eat up to 1500-1800 cals, i said if i could lower by a couple hundred i was sure it would come off, but no. that was ”illegal”…1800, thats more than i have ever eaten.i found the diet ok to taste, but impossible to incorporate into life. but i did have to change my entire way of life and food was incredibly expensive… also i hated the way they push the really unhealthy bars shakes and ready meals. anyhow, i gave atkins a good go. it failed me .

so i looked and looked for the best way i could lose weight and live and still eat healthily what i love. and i read this and jason fung fasting and found it fascinating. as long as i can do it on my meds i am all set. i am sure its fine. none are food related -take with food- etc.

i will check that.

anyhow i am english and smiley.
god bless you all in your endeavours xx
