So I have finished my first week on the Fast 800. I used Fitness Pal to track my intake and I was meticulous, it didn’t like I was only eating 800 calories. Bought a fitness watch that counts my steps and embarked with zeal. I have stuck to the meals in the book. Have sat and watched my colleagues tuck in to the cakes and biscuits and refused them all.
I have gone to bed hungry and woken up hungry every day and if I never see another glass of fizzy water it can’t be too soon but still there is the joy of seeing the weight drop off as I get on the scales. At least that’s how it should be isn’t it. In reality I have lost 2lbs. Probably what I would have lost anyway as I returned to normal eating after a fortnight on holiday. After a week of ploughing on despite the craving and people telling me I looked tired and would you believe fatter than normal. I feel really gutted by it so to speak.
My partner has continued to eat cereal for breakfast, sandwich and cake for lunch and then what I was cooking from the book in the evening,. He has lost 4lbs!
Today I went out for lunch I was going to order the chicken salad but by the time I got to the counter I thought what is the point and had the rarebit.
I shall probably try and continue eating low carb during the week but not be massively over zealous at the weekend. I did resist the cakes at the village fete today…miserable when everyone else is enjoying themselves.
I am not diabetic but do need to lose a stone and a half. May be time for a rethink but very disappointing so far 🙁
