Getting Active Again
It has been a long time since I was active on MFP let alone this board. So here I am again. When I stopped doing FMD because of some extreme stress in my life, I stopped losing weight and actually gained 10-15 lbs back. So now I am heading back on it again, along with a more physical exercise program. Anyone else doing it…
FMD on the Fly
For those of you doing FMD on the fly, ie not buying the prolon foods, what do you eat? I get tired of the same things over and over so I constantly have to change up my food so I don't get bored. Anyone else doing this? For dinner, we often do different veggies, usually about 3 oz, sauteed in olive oil with garlic and…
Weight loss results
So, are you seeing weight loss? I am going about 6 lbs during the week of reduced calorie intake, but gaining 3 back. That equals a net loss of 3 lbs per month. I have been having some digestion issues (part of the reason I started this diet) and saw a nutritionist yesterday. She didn't think it was anything too serious…
Valter Longo Fasting Mimicking Diet.
I read Valter Longo's "The Longevity Diet". Lot of interesting research. So last week I did the low calorie Fasting Mimicking Diet. Stayed between 550 and 750 calories per day for 5 days. Wasnt too bad. First two days were simple. Day 4 sucked. My day 5 ended last Thursday night. I was hungry and ate too much. I paid for…
Back on the bandwagon
Haven’t done FMD in many months and have put on 9kg (18lb) in the past 3 months. Mainly due to succumbing to chocolate and other unhealthy foods! I want to lose the 9 kg by December so am kick starting my diet doing Prolon. This is my third time doing Prolon and I’ve got more boxes coming. So hopefully I’ll get two more…
Hello from Colorado
So when I hit 40 I had lost 30+ pounds and was feeling great. I could run 5 miles a day as well. But the rest of my life changed drastically since I started a small private school that year. Between lack of time and stress, I ended up falling away from all my exercise habits over time. I have tried many things with mixed…
Progress
How are you progressing with FMD? Do you use another program in your off weeks? Yesterday marked the last day of another FMD week for me. In fact it was my 5th FMD this year since we (hubby and I) are doing it once a month. I lost 7 lbs on this round and dropped to 196. My goal now it to maintain that loss over the long…
Going to Try this
Hi, So I've seen the news reports of the research and read Longo's book. I'm now determined to try this diet. However, I don't want to spend $250 for the prolon diet plan. So, I'm going to put together my own foods that meet the macro guidelines for the diet. Not only that, but I thought why not try to follow the foods…
