The FastDay Forum

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!

Hi! I am starting today.

I am starting 5:2 today. I have about 60 lbs. to lose. I bought the Fastdiet book, which I have read, and I have the Fastdiet cookbook on order from amazon. I live in the United States and think it's cool that this is an international forum.

Hello to all!

Hi tealeaf! I'm new too and have also bought the book and watched Dr. Mosley on PBS. Have you seen the his video on the PBS site? If not watch it-it's amazing. This type of fasting is so doable and is really keeping my mind off food. I have lost 4 pounds in 5 days! I would like to lose about 50 pounds. I'm finding that my obsession with food is waning. Good luck to you :smile:
