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

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!

Hiya Me too had read and heard a lot about it - I'm now on week 2 so day 3 of fasting. Find that it is best not to eat until evening meal - last week was surprising ok but today am finding it hard - have been hungry since 4.30pm - 2 cups of Bovril and some raspberries so looking forward to evening meal. I have a stone to lose and exercise at least 4 times a week. I have struggled with this stone for about 3 years now and having tried weight watchers and slimming world decided to give this a whirl. Shall I keep you posted as to my progress? I also don't weigh myself regularly as I get despondent and just want to eat - I will weigh myself after a month on this diet and let you know.
