Blood Sugar Diet & Fast 800 Diet Thread 25

[Anewagain]

Starting a new thread as I accidentally filled up the old one.

Here’s a link to the old one: www.mumsnet.com/talk/fasting_diet/4570776-blood-sugar-diet-fast-800-diet-thread-24

Hope everyone finds this and look forward to welcoming newcomers to the thread too!

Well I had my first fast in a long time and am happy enough with my day. I had two cups of coffee in the morning with low fat milk For lunch I had an egg between two slices of ham and a green salad. Dinner was some left over tofu curry with cauliflower rice and some spinach. I had a teeny bit of cake and a mandarin with tea after dinner. Apart from the cake I am happy enough with my day and it all came in under 800.

I meant to add that I got a nice 4km walk in and did a 15 minute workout as well. Happy out! 😁

Glad you had a good day @Goodiewhemper

Today is my weigh in day at the end of Week 10 of the strict Fast 800. I lost just 0.75lbs this week but have lost 33lbs overall.

Just 2-3 weeks of the strict phase left for me before moving to the next stage. I’d love to get as close as I can to losing 3 stone in 3 months!

I’m on day 8 of fast 800 and have lost 6.5 lbs which I’m pleased with. It’s the only way weight comes off me now I’m post-menopause. I feel ok right now and plan to do this fast phase for 2 more weeks then go on hol for a week do it again for 3 weeks then switch to 5/2.

avocado and eggs for breakfast in couple of hours once 14 hours has passed

it sounds brutal but I feel great! So pleased the weight is coming off finally

good luck all

33lb is brilliant well done!

Wow 33 lbs that’s amazing. Well done for sticking at it for ten weeks. I only manage about 2/3!

im 11.2 again. I’m bunged up so thinking that’s not helping

plan today to be 800 as I usually get to 1000

yoghurt flaxseed passion fruit

halloumi bake

Thank you @Anapana and @Addidas. I’ll have had at least 7 days off by the end of the 12 weeks so it hasn’t been completely strict and I may extend by one week to
make up for that. I do also have lots still to lose and preferred the quickest route.

Well done on your loss @Anapana and I hope the scales move again soon for you @Addidas.

Thought I'd lost you lol. Totally forgot to weigh this morning as I was in a rush but yesterday felt good. Didn't us MFP which I know is key so hoping I make time for that as I get the week under control.

So many great losses - super proud of you lot!

Am I ok to join please? I’m planning on doing Fast800 for the next 6 weeks to see how I get on.

Afternoon 😁 I wondered why the other thread wouldn't let me post...

My scales are finally showing just under 11 stone, but I am most definitely not celebrating yet as it could bounce around all week 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don't think I will celebrate until I am consistently under 10 stone 9, which I was right before Christmas. Then at last I will feel as if I am making progress.

I had left over keto fish pie for lunch and I have just put a beef chilli in the slow cooker for later. I messed around a bit with the recipe and didn't add the full amounts of all the ingredients (half the kidney beans, etc) so I reckon 800 calories and 30g carbs maximum and probably a touch less.

I am doing a strength class tonight at the gym followed by yoga. Then I am at a gym class tomorrow morning at 6:15am 🙈

I don't actually have enough gym kit for this 😆

I hope everyone is having a good day ☀️

Welcome @Simonsaysitschristmas 👋🏻

Welcome @Simonsaysitschristmas

@xraydelta amazing excercising and so little calories. I struggled angina to 800 and am on 1000 again and 30g carbs once my Halloumi ratoullie is eaten!

tmrw is
yoghurt passion fruit walnuts
caesar salad
eggs or Halloumi bake

Hello, found you!

Well done @xraydelta , take the victory!

I made it to my stone! 8 weeks, 14.5lbs. FINALLY. Only 1.5 stone to go (probably very slowly).

@TooExtraImmatureCheddar hurray 🎉🎉🎉 A stone is bloody brilliant. Well done!

@Addidas well, I'm slumped on the sofa right now 😁 And it's due to ice tonight so I'm not sure I will want to get out of bed and the car at 5:50 to de ice it 🙈

I'm proud I haven't snacked today though. I took a babybel out the fridge three times, and put it back again.

I’m finishing day 1 on just over 800 calories so happy with that.

Trying to use what we have in before doing a big shop so I think I’ll be eating some random concoctions until the weekend.

congratulations on your stone loss @TooExtraImmatureCheddar

Good to see everyone checking in on the thread and new people joining too!
Well done on your loss @TooExtraImmatureCheddar !!

Yup. I was a touch above 11 stone this morning, but it was jolly early as I was jumping around in my weights class at 6:15 🙈

Hopefully by the start of next week, if I stick to this with no deviation, I will be properly making progress.

I am having boiled eggs and asparagus soldiers for lunch and beef chilli for dinner today. That's 548 calories and 25g carbs, so I'll do more green vegetables with a spot of butter with them. And perhaps allow myself a babybel today 😁

Good morning, everyone ❄️

@xraydelta it gets though the closer we get to where we want. Well done for getting below 11 hopefully end of week firmly there

so I’m 11.1.6 today . God it’s slow. Think today really needs to be a 800 day and low carbs to move this as I touch 1000 most days

@Simonsaysitschristmas well done for first day. I find day 3 hardest and am starving! But gets better

@TooExtraImmatureCheddar well done amazing!!!!! Keep going . Have u had any off days in that? And do u stick to 800 religiously

to add I have a big night out Friday night where wine will be consumed. And then another one next Wednesday!!!! Am already stressing about it. Plan is extra long pelaton ride on Friday and then to enjoy it and go straight back in on sat!

honestly feel I’ll never be below 11 !

Hi 👋 everyone please may I join all you lovely lot ?.

I've been reading this thread for quite a while now just lurking 👀 and I've finally decided enough is enough and I've got to do something about my weight, I'm currently 17 stone and 7 lbs ! :( absolutely massive for my 5.4 frame im obese maybe morbid i don't know, a size 20/22 and I feel absolutely disgusting letting myself become to big.. I've always had problems with food since childhood being starved most of the time by my parent's and surviving off a piece or 2 of bread a day( abusive family) and now at the age of 32 my eating habits are to binge constantly these days..

3 and half years ago I was 11.7 which I looked good at.. I was doing couch to 5k and doing home workouts aswel and was active but then I fell pregnant i had my lovely babies (3 in 3 years) and that changed my whole eating habits after being so good for a good few years before I finally thought my bad eating days were behind me but being constantly exhausted with 3 lil people has made me slip and slip big time.

So anyway here i am 17.7lbs and fed up! I feel constantly tired my knees are starting to really hurt 😞 I look like crap and im scared if I don't do anything now I will be in serious health trouble soon..

I've read up Micheal morsleys fast 800 about 3 times and read thread upon thread of fasting and diets.. I know it all but I just haven't put it into practise.

I love my food which is so bloody hard to break! Going 16 years on basically naff all the suddenly being able to eat what I want when I want has messed my head up I was lucky in my earlier years as I manged to keep to a healthyish weight but now nope!!

Anyway im sorry for blabbing on..
I love reading all your threads on here so inspiring.

I will be starting on Monday a fresh new week once and for all...

I know im probably going to feel awful for a few weeks as I imagine the withdrawal from all the processed and sugar I eat is going to be rough but im going to battle through and do it!

For me to get to 11 stone I will be happy :) so just 6 and a half to go lol.

I will update Monday:)

@redprincess well done for deciding to start!

As soon as you get over the first hump it does get easier, I promise. You will lose a lot of the hunger pangs as your body gets used to no sugar and low carbs.

@redprincess good luck we are here to support you! It will get easier. I would say drop the sugar and processed first then focus on calories as all of it together may be a shock to the system but depends on how you find it!

kitchen closed at 900 and 30g carbs (went over carbs as wanted some peas today weirdly)

tmrw is
yoghurt and betrues
chicken avacado salad
take away for family bday but I’m having hot and sour soup which I think can’t be bad,

Scrap that thinking chicken satay be better from carb point. I’m not having cake or wine either. :)

Good to have you join us @redprincess and good luck as you get started. I’ve gone from obese to overweight and it’s a good feeling to be going in the right direction.

The change to no sugar and no processed food will be tough so follow the advice in the books - lots of water, increase salt in some of the dishes and try to choose recipes you enjoy … things will find filling & satisfying/enjoyable to eat. It will get easier and you’ll see a dramatic loss in your first few weeks - you’ll have dropped a stone before you know it!

I’ve had Shakshuka for lunch and am about to have chicken curry for dinner.

@Addidas ha, I have had a lot of days off! The first fortnight I was on it I had nights out Fri and Sat each weekend, got plastered, had to have a takeaway, ate drunken pasta, pizza, etc. Since then I have been better but have had wine at weekends most weekends, and the rest of this week won’t be good because it’s DD’s birthday tomorrow and we’re going out for dinner, and then we’re going to a wedding on Sat so will be drinking again. I try to stick to the recipe books so I don’t have to count myself, so my food probably comes in at around 800-900, but sometimes the recipe says 200g chicken and the packet has 300g so I just eat it. And I have no patience for half an avocado/onion/quarter of a stock cube nonsense. Who uses a quarter of a stock cube, FFS? That’s in loads of the recipes!

@redprincess, welcome! I wonder whether you might consider upping your calories a bit to start with - with your history you don’t want to risk being triggered, perhaps? I think once you get used to the type of food you won’t feel hungry, most folk don’t when they get going, but the first week is tough. Maybe ease yourself in a bit?
