Morning all ;)

Well I have read the book and I am ready to start, first fasting day for me is tomorrow.

Going to have some grapefruit for breakfast and then chicken and veg for dinner.

Hoping to lose about a stone and half, I will post my stats up with my first weigh in.

Looking forward to hearing how everybody is progressing

Hi Tigs!

Hope your first fasting day goes well! I did my first one on Thursday and it is number 2 tomorrow. Dare I say number one was better than I anticipated so fingers crossed the trend continues.

Best wishes,
Ede

Well I found yesterday quite easy. Total calories was approx 450.

Feel good today, not so bloated as I normally feel on a Monday..

Really looking forward to my next fast on Thursday.

Nope not counting the calories when I have not been fasting

Last week I had some of the following

Cupcake
Crisps
Steak and homemade chips (Deep fried)
Pasta and cheese sauce
2 x Meal outs, one was deep fried mozzarella, pan fried veal with veg and potatoes, the other deep fried calamari, steak and chips
Lunch was mainly homemade soup
Breakfast has been either grapefruit with blueberries or instant porridge and berries
