Our Frequently Asked Questions topic will answer many of your fasting & weight loss questions!

If you're new and have a question or need some advice, please give us as much information as you can about your situation in order for us to be able to help you as best we can. For example, it's helpful to know your BMI/weight, how much you want to lose, any medical conditions which might affect your weight and (if you've started fasting already) how you do your fasts in terms of splitting up your calories, what you eat etc. Thanks!

Hi there. I'm new to the forum but have been fasting for a number of years.
I have been at my target weight for over three years after having lost seven stone by various means.

Thank you for the welcome.

I think my main tips are

Have patience
Don't make too many extra rules for yourself.
Don't be too rigid about your fast days, be a bit flexible.

I usually fast on Monday and Tuesday, the consecutive days suit me best. I use my calories in various ways, sometimes several small meals spread out, sometimes two smaller meals.
On fast days I avoid carbs as much as possible and have more protein.
