    hi there in NZ! I'm in London and I do the Intermitting Fasting way of eating since March 2013. I have lost 1st 3lbs. Please buy Dr Michael Mosley's 'The Fast Diet, 5:2 diet book (look at his website too). It means you eat normally 5 days each week, the other 2 days you eat 500 cals on each of those 2 non-consecutive days. This way of eating has many other health benefits including balancing blood sugars, lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, etc. etc. Dr Mosley is a medical doctor and scientist working for the Horizon Science programme for the BBC. I have never dieted in my life but this way of eating makes sence to me (I'm a nurse). You are guaranteed to lose 1lb each week. I feel fantastic and intend to continue for ever with this way of eating. It is really not actually fasting either as some people claim. I am so used to it - it really is no problem doing it. AND, after the first month or so you are not hungry on 500 cals for 2 days each week. The 2 days are changeable according to your social life, committments, etc. Myfitnesspal really helps to log my 2 days each week. Good luck with it.
