LolaLayla Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Well nearly at the end of another fast day. I did not realise I was feeling hungry until I took a double take at the dogs gourmet treats and thought they looked rather yummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Ate normally yesterday and having another fast day today. I am working tomorrow so thought it best to get it over with before the weekend. I have decided to use the myfitnesspal on my days off to try to have a bit more awareness of what I am eating. This morning I do seem to have lost weight from my waist and my tummy looks flatter...which is always good news. I am feeling a bit sorry for myself though as I had a mole cut out from my leg yesterday and will need to wait for results from that. So I could possibly reach for comfort food Being a fast day I won't though!!! Anyone else fasting today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hope the results are all ok, LL! Not fasting today as such, but generally am eating a lot less than I used to - I tend to fast as and when circumstances allow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Another half stone would be nice. Any more any I'd have to buy loads of trousers in a smaller size so I'm not really wanting that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way you have focused makes that totally do-able I seem to lose the focus after about two weeks This time I am really trying hard. Nearly at the end of the day and kept to 500 calories The book club is at my house tomorrow night though and I will need to try hard not to finish off the nibbles etc as after a glass of wine or two I don't care what I eat.

chickencam Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Well today I have eaten nothing yet I just decided to have a go and see how far I could get. I have enjoyed exploring my collection of fruit and black teas this morning. I am a bit puckish at the moment but have just made another hot drink and I am going to distract myself with some ironing in a minute to see if it passes if not I will have a boiled egg. I am goings to try to avoid making a big thing of this so I am not going to tell my family at the moment, just to see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 You can do it chickencam Since I found out about cauliflower rice it has featured every fast day. I never would have chosen to eat it but it really seems to be a great substitute for carbs and surprisingly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I will give it a try because I really like cauliflower. I am feeling a bit light headed now but not too bad, I have done loads of ironing, just having another fruit tea and a break. I did ave a normal cup of tea at breakfast time with a splash of milk, but I have very little milk in tea anyway. Other than that only clear hot drinks have passed my lips so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Well done to all so far I lost 6 lb this morning - still a hell of a long way to go but am finding this so easy. Much easier than any other diet I've ever tried and there's been plenty! I also go all day and eat in the evening. I must admit The Hairy Dieters cookery book has been ideal for this.

sage Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 What is cauliflower rice & how do you make it please. Sage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 What is cauliflower rice & how do you make it please.Sage I just grate some cauli then steam it in the micro for not very long (seems to vary how long it takes). It's very easy, I just find myself getting through LOTS of cauli!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I just find myself getting through LOTS of cauli!!!!! Me too. I bought another one today! I am finding this diet easier than others too. I could probably eat less than the 500 calories but I reckon you may make yourself ill if you were to be too extreme in your calorie reduction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 I lost 6 lb this morning Well done . I've not tried cauli rice - might just try it (I love cauliflower ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaT Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Wow, well done everyone, what great losses we're all having Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Well I made it, pretty easy actually, didn't eat anything from 7.30pm yesterday until just before 7pm today when we had fish and loads of steamed veg, everyone else had chips but not me. Like I said I am not telling family at the moment so OH made me a gin and tonic whilst I was cooking, so it would have been rude not to, it is Friday after all and the tonic was the diet version. I didn't drink it until I had lined my stomach. I expected to feel full and uncomfortable after I had eaten but I feel fine, so it looks like this should be a plan, next fast day Monday maybe.

Lesley Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I've lost another 1lb this week so I lost 7lbs in the first month, stayed the same the second month (as planned) and have lost 4lbs this month - I'm happy with that as I haven't been particularly strict this month.

redhotchick Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I've done 6 fast days over 3 weeks. I'm not seeing the scales shifting much...perhaps I just need to give it more time, and watch what I eat on non fast days more too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Must admit my non fast day today has consisted of a cooked breakfast, crumpet and cheese, cake and pizza, there has been plenty of fruit and veg in there too, but not really a good follow up to yesterday. I maybe need to do more fasts before I feel less hungry the next day. I did do plenty of afternoon allotment digging too, so maybe that has offset some of it.

Lesley Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I did do plenty of afternoon allotment digging too, so maybe that has offset some of it. I'm doing a lot of 'extreme weeding' as well and my weight loss always slows - disappointing when attending a slimming group and the only measure of how you are doing is weight loss - but I do lose inches.......I just have to get my head round that ........changing shape is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I feel there is a reduction in fat round my tummy which is good so I am definitely going to continue. I am using myfitnesspal every day now too. I do go over my allowance on non fast days but not by much which I feel is fine. Next fast day Tuesday Nice to hear how everyone else is doing Sounds like there are some good results from this diet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
