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

Feeling inspired - just read the book on my Kindle in one go and want to start straight away. I have always had a fear of hunger so I am keen to tackle that! Want to lose a stone and just keep it off!

Oh I understand completely! It wasn't until my first fasting day that I realized I had no idea what hunger really is. Now, I no longer fear it. I have learned I won't go weak from missing a meal, and that it's just not a big deal.

Side benefit - food really does taste so much better once you actually are hungry. Even a big plate of veg just tastes fantastic :-)

Hi Debbie and welcome.

I only joined last week and have done two fasts so far. And I agree, as will many of us on here, that before fasting we were filled with horror at being hungry! I can remember saying to my OH (other half) one day that I was starving and I'd only gone an hour after my normal lunch time! I don't think I'll ever say that again!

Just remember to drink plenty of (non sugary) fluids, don't get hung up on weighing yourself and remember that the feeling on hunger comes in waves and doesn't increase over the day. I've found keeping busy helps and takes my mind off it.

Hope you get on ok
