I got the fast diet book on 1st April , after hearing a lot about the diet in the media. I spent a couple of days reading the book and decided to give it a go.
I am 60 but never needed to worry about diets to recently; from about 55 I have slowly been putting on wieght. I am now 1.5 stone overwieght and don't seem to have much energy. I am hoping to lose some of the weight and hopefully regain some energy by the end of summer.
I started my first fast day today, its gone OK apart from feeling colder than normal so I had to turn the heating up this evening. Also have had a slight headache since coming home from work. I intend to fast on Mondays and Thursdays where possible; so will only be fasting wednesday this week as I didnt fancy doing two days on the run. Fridays and the weekend are out as I feel it would not be fair on my partner.
There seem to be a lot of interesting topics in the forum I hope to read many of them
Any tips for a older male trying the diet would be welcome
