    I had to look it up as I'd never heard of it before. Clearly, my advice would be guess at best...

    My dietitian likes the Mediterranean Diet but stresses that any change must be sustainable otherwise as soon as you revert to regular diet, your weight returns with a vengeance.

    BBee, I read a lot about this one in The Telegraph and Daily Mail. It seems to work for a lot of people. I will be interested to see how you do.

    I'm quite enjoying this diet Nikki
    I'm actually doing the 16/8 fast
    You only eat in an 8 hour window
    So far ... so good

    I'm sticking with the 16/8 Nikki,
    I'm not losing weight as much as I would like. But I'm sleeping better. As for how long your meant to do it? That's good question? I'm going to stick with it for now.. I keep u posted
