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!

My First Fast Day!
20 Mar 2013, 19:10
Hi everyone, I am totally new to this, I have been doing slimming world for the last couple of years and I have been struggling for a while now with having to sacrifice on eating out/nights out etc and still not seeing the results I wanted! So along with my best friend I have embarked upon this diet after reading so much about it online! Ultimately I am hoping to lose just over a stone by the time I go to V Festival in mid August. Today was my first Fast day and I have to say I found it easier than I thought I would, I'm not sure if its because its all new and exciting (and because I was having lots of fun telling everybody at work how many calories their lunch was - most being higher than my entire days intake!!) or if actually it's just not that hard! The only thing is that I was thinking about food almost constantly but to be honest thats probably no different to any other day I just noticed it more today!! Finally, help with recipes (or any other to tips!) would be very much appreciated as I'm not very imaginative with food!! Thanks :grin:
