Hi all
I did the BSD/Fast 800 in 2016 and dropped around 8kg (not sure what that is in lbs). Having gone full-tilt “goblin-core” since early 2020 I recently found myself just a hairs’ breadth away from the heaviest I’ve ever been and my BMI had finally wobbled into the ‘obese’ zone. (Personally, I blame COVID… I’m sure all that wine, ice cream and inactivity had nothing to do with it – hahahahaaaa!) Anyway, I’m back on the BSD and have lost about 2kg in the past week (yay!), but this time round, the cravings are driving me nuts! I would wrestle my granny – anyone’s granny, in fact – for a slice of toast or a bowl of rice. Let’s not even talk about what I’d do for a bottle of wine! Unlike my first time on the BSD, I’ve had to completely change – not just modify – the way I cook and eat, because omitting/substituting the bread or rice or whatever from my usual fare just makes me miserable (all I can think about is how rubbish it is without the ‘missing’ component!). This didn’t happen when I did the BDS in 2016 – maybe it’s because my diet/motivation/activity have been SO out of kilter in recent months that I’m noticing it more? Does anyone have any similar experiences or advice to share?
Thanks & all the best
