Good morning! I started the fast diet a couple of months ago, but ran into some health issues that caused me to stop for a bit. But, that's all better now and I've started again! I am 43 and need to lose about 40 pounds. I have been an online member of Weight Watchers for about 12 years. The first time I did it, it was awesome for me and I lost 47 lbs. But, since then I've slowly gained that weight back. I've been off and on the program many times, but just can't seem to stick with it.
So, I decided to try the fast diet. I've always said it would be easier if you could just give up food altogether. Obviously, you can't, but I feel the fast diet is a nice compromise to that. I like the idea of not having to track calories on the other days, although I think for me to really lose weight I might have to, at least during the week.
Anyway, I fast on Mon/Thurs. unless there's some conflict on one of those days, in which case I will switch it to Tues. or Weds. I eat a 150-200 calorie breakfast and I do fine with fasting during the day. Then I make myself a really healthy dinner (this plan has also encouraged me to do that) but often after dinner, I feel like I'm still hungry. One day last week I made tea and went to bed early and that worked, but the 2nd day I ended up snacking a little. Hopefully I will get better with that with time.
Sorry for such a long intro. I'm excited to go full fledged with this plan and losing 1 pound a week is great, since I'm able to not worry about what I eat so much during my busy weeks!
