Introduce Yourself!

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!

Introducing myself

Hello, my name is Nicole. I live in the US so will be talking about weight loss in lbs, though reading about this diet I'm starting to understand the UK measuring systems better. lol

I have been on a weight loss journey for a year and a half, becoming more physically active and eating a much healthier diet, lots of veggies and very little meat. After losing 30 pounds initially my weight hasn't budged in the last 5 months. I recently had a physical and my triglycerides are high and my doctor wants me to lose another 20 pounds. I was at a complete loss of how to make any more changes that would be sustainable. I just found out about this eating plan last week when I heard Dr. Mosley on the Diane Rheme show, and started it yesterday. I am hopeful that this will be the answer!

First fasting day went well, but it is a challenge for sure. My husband is doing this with me and he had a harder time as he was at home around food and making snacks for our 2 year old daughter. I hope we can be strong and keep it up long enough to see some real results.

Thank you!
