Fresh Start - The Fast Diet - Wishbird007(Liz)

[Wishbird007]

Hi all. Ive missed you guys, I`m back, its been ages, need to have a read and catch up.

Ive not been caring about food been so busy with work, so I made myself get on the scales this wkend, 13 stone I've never been so big, so here goes nothing.

Friends have recommended the fast diet where u eat normally/healthy for 5 days and have 2 fast days which is basically, breakfast n supper later in day which both equate to 500 calories. So first fast day is tomorrow.

Wish me luck, anyone else doing it?

I've got to get rid of some weight by June, got a motorbike tour round the UK n gotta get in my bike trousers which r slightly tight at the most.
I've also been feeling ill recently, having headaches, more migraines than usual, and feeling faint a lot.
So after my blood tests were normal I thought maybe healthy eating n a bit of exercise would help? We`ll see!

Prob being very stupid here (kinda hoping I am) Does this mean BOTH meals total 500cals, as in say 250cal each... Or 500cals each???

Your fine love, it took my head time to adjust.
Both totals 500cals, so I'm gonna have weetabix which is about 166cals then rest is on my supper, chicken n veg.
Does that make sense?

OMG so 500cals for the whole day??? Oh God I couldn't cope with that.. I'd have that eaten in F&B alone... Fair play to you tho giving it a bash.. Best of luck with it x

Hi love, cheers for that, I figure first day is always the worst! I've been for a walk at lunch while ppl eat, n I've bought some fizzy water n diet coke to fill me up x

 

[tenaciousnat]

Yeah, loads of water! Sliced lemon and boiled water with a sweetener is good too xxx

 

[Dubchick81]

Go you getting out at lunch time.. My new thing is walking home from work.. Can't today tho Have challenged myself to walk home at least 3 days per week.. With my BF being back at work (Finally) he can drop me in in the mornings as his job is only down the road from mine.. Its only half an hour but half an hour less sitting on my ass.. And its up and down hill so a nice walk

Feeling OK today, going to eat reasonably healthy today, may have a treat! I know that Kinder egg I found on my fast day yesterday on my fast day, I was like why.... Why do I find u wen I can't have u? Typical

Happy hump day Wednesday to all x

 

[Lady_Amalthea]

Aw, damn kinder eggs haha. My little cousin tried to give me one last night but I resisted the urge. Trying to keep off the choc for a while cause I had a serious addiction at one point
