Hi, I am 54 years old and saw the Fast Diet book in the supermarket yesterday - but didn't buy it!! I have spent the best part of today researching it and have decided to give it a go, so struck whilst I felt positive and have started my first Fast day today!! I had already had an oat so simple porridge this morning and a Banana but that's all so far, (oh and a multi-vitmin and Omega 3 tablet - how many calories in them???). I am having homemade carrot soup tonight. Have sipped copious amounts of water, herbal tea and black coffee so only getting a few hunger pangs - but having done the Cambridge diet before, I quite enjoy the feeling of hunger - it tells me I am in control of my body (not the other way around!) .
I weigh 188 lbs and, ideally would love to lose about 28 lbs. I have previously done Weight Watchers, Slimming World, the Cambridge Diet, the F-Plan Diet, Slimming Pills, the Cabbage Diet and a load of others without any success. Therefore, I am going to think of this as a healthy way of life, rather than a diet as no-one on my Mum's side of the family live beyond 55 and I already have high blood pressure and achy bones, so this kind of feels like a last chance saloon.
PS. Love this website!!
