The FastDay Forum

Exactly 1 week since taking my pre first-fast-day weight and body fat I have lost 4lbs and 1% body fat. Awesome

I have to confess a slight cheat, due to having to change my fast days this week to accommodate a works training course (no way I am not having a free lunch) which clashed with a fast day, I have fasted today meaning I have done a 3:5. But I did have a bottle of wine on Friday (and a bag of pistachio nuts once the alcohol had lowered my resolve) and a Chinese and a couple of beers on Saturday so pretty darn amazing.

I have noticed a reduction in my appetite during feasting days as well, which is all good stuff. Fast number 3 today was by far the easiest, I hardly even felt hungry.

Cheers and good luck

Excellent start, Crockett! When you say 3:5, did you mean 4:3? Whichever, 4lbs is v good. Better yet was that you found the 3rd day fasting easier.

Your rate of weight loss may well slow down significantly in the coming weeks, that's normal because the initial loss includes a lot of water. But keep the faith and the results will follow. Oh, and start putting your results into the progress tracker here at once - http://www.52fastdiet.co.uk/tracker.php. The chart will confirm your progress and be a spur to further improvement!

Well done.

Just to explain by 3:5 I mean I had three fasts in an 8 day period; which sounds a bit odd but it is because I am planning on Tuesdays and Thursday as my fast days but it is not practical this week so I have brought my days forward. I only weigh once a week (normally the day before my first fast of the week) so the 4lb loss was 3 fasts. Yes I realise there will be good weeks and not so good weeks, but a great start that has shown me it really works.
