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!

I'm new and psyched that this will help me get healthier and lose some middle age spread.
I'm what would be called skinny-fat... you know the look, skinny arms and legs with the belly and boobs happening. (I'm a guy) I'd like to lose the belly and be able to tie the shoelaces without blowing like a hump-back.
A Brit friend turned me on to this diet and he has nothing but praise for the system and has lost a stone and a half since he started(being Canadian I of course had no idea how much weight that was) 21 lbs!!!!wow!!
Monday will be my very first fast day and I'm going in with positive attitude and enthusiasm. It might be some Lean Cuisine fasting days till I get the hang of things.
Take care'

Welcome to the forums!

There are a lot of recipes in our recipe section that might be easy for you. Now that spring is coming, there's always the old standby of grilling a lean piece of meat or fish and having it with a salad :-)

Thanks Tracie but spring forgot about us this year. Hope to be grilling in the near future though.
As many people who are in favor of this diet there are 2 against it but I'm going to give it a try. I'll go with the "I can have that tomorrow" attitude.

Cheers
