Ah thank you. Yesterday went welll. Was slightly over my calorie intake but hit high fat : )

Also looking for fat fast friends. Would love to see some diaries x

Yes I will be watching Dr Fung again but I do follow him and watch his videos. I have definitely had a feast this weekend (plus a few drinkies which I don't normally do) I just wrote out a post and it didn't show?

Hey all How did everyone get on with fat fasts? I'm going to do a 3-4 day fast from tomorrow. Hoping to do 80/90% fat, 20% protein and 0 carbs. Not done this before but I need to see some weight loss on the scales. Ive done well and lost inches but I have a habit of losing inches but stay the same weight but I do still…

Hey ladies and gents I'm kind of back on here doing low carb now. How's everyone doing? Add me if anyone fancies keeping in touch. Anyone go to a gym or do low carb in southampton? X

Carbs = Sugar ⁉️

I like the thought of fasting for more than weight loss. I eat well, very rarely eat sugary foods. I have been reading up about fasting and it is also good for memory loss and brain power and I need a lot of both of those lol I think watching calories for 2 days a week is a good way to keep strict and then rest of the week…

Hiya what plan are you following/aiming to do? X

Hiya I'm doing low carb. I love it but am struggling to lose weight. I'm going to start with the 5:2 on low carb. What are you following? X

Hiya Congratulations to you. I am also pregnant (13 weeks) and I have the same issues. Always a bit unsure as to how many calories I should be eating anyway so I have set it to about 2000, which I am hoping from my previous (when dieting) is about right. But if I do go over, its no biggy. I just try and eat as much good as…

Oh blimey - I am struggling so much. I go out for a walk at lunch and it seems to hit me even more when I am back at work. Yes I am taking my pregnancy meds in the morning, drinking loads of water and eating the veg/fruit. But now I am adding as much sugar as I can get in the afternoon. Work doesn't know yet so that makes…

Blimey - everyone started replying at the same time. I will start adding. :)

I drink roughly about 4 litres I think a day, more or less. If I don't drink it, I feel rubbish. I do try to stay away from any other drinks but if i do treat myself, I enjoy them even more.

I would just eat as much fruit and veg as possible and drink as much water as possible. Make sure you get the nutrients you need to get better. If you are feeling really bad, and can't face a full workout, just go for a walk, little and often. I have been poorly the last week and I had a few days where I just couldn't be…

Find yourself a fruit and veg stall! They all vary in price so it will take a bit of looking around but once you have found one, your never go back to buy your fruit and veg in a supermarket again! They are cheaper and fresher. I can get 2 weeks of fruit and veg for about £10 or less. I buy a 25kg bag of potatoes which is…

Original Ryvita and melted nutella all mixed together. Tastes like Ferror Roche! Yum

Oh yeah! Bump!

By eating a small amount of calories does not mean you will lose weight. Even 1200 is too low. I would raise it to 1600 (still quite low) and then add your exercise calories on top and make sure you eat them all. If you keep your calories low, your body will go in shock and store fat. Try it and you will see how better you…

I like to drink Green Tea because of the anti Oxidants. But not a lot of people are aware that Green Tea has Caffeine. So I tend to drink Green Tea in the morning for a boost that should last through the day and Red Bush tea later, as this has no Caffeine. I find that adding a sweetener to Plain Green tea helps slightly…

I personally cant function without breakfast. I used to only be able to eat a hot breakfast but have slowly got into eating milk/cereal. I eat my breakfast at 8am and by 1030 i am hungry. So i have tried to drop my breakfast calorie intake (150 cals) and then have a breakfast bar (100cals) at 10.30. That way I am happily…

You have to eat back your calories you burn, otherwise its on the line of starving yourself! I do myself and have lost every week. Plan out your food and your rough amount of calories burnt so you can plan an evening meal, obviously keep it under and then once you have worked out when you are back from exercise you can…

Also try hot water with a slice of lemon. That starts off your metabolism and then green tea through the day, but Green tea does have caffeine so be aware!

The way I look at it, is its like driving a car. You have 1200 cal a day to use and if you do exercise you are gaining more calories but burning calories and you need to fuel them otherwise you are running on empty. I have found that when you put the exercise into MFP, the exercise calories can be too high. So I always…

It might like to keep warm! He/She is in the xmas spirit!

The dog doesn't deserve that ;)

I agree. A kick of honesty shouldn't hurt anyone. We are all in the same battle on here. I'll add you :)
