    After trying so hard over the years to loose weight, I’ve finally found one that works. I stopped smoking when I was 33, and saw my weight ballooned from 12 1/2 stone to 19 stone, over the next few years. I tried eating healthily, and failed, as did the gym. My Wife and I then saw the documentary by Michael Mosley on the 5:2 diet, and I decided to give it a go, I lost nearly two stone in a few months, but then my weight levelled out. Then one day my wife and I saw this book whilst out shopping, and decided to give it a go. In 8 weeks I lost 3 stone. I have now gone from 19st 2 lbs to 14st 3lbs and feel great. I’m about to embark on another 8 week program as I’m not quite at my target weight. My Wife and daughter also did the programme, and together we have lost 10 stone.

    I never thought I’d find a diet that I could stick to and find that it works. It was hard to stick to, but well worth it. Good luck to anyone that is about to embark on this, stick with it, it’s worth it.

    I was also a big gainer of stones when I stopped smoking about 15 years ago. 7 in total. I went from being a big lad at 15 stone to not looking at the scales when it went over 22 Stones. A couple of years on some antidepressant meds added to the weight piling on. Sedentary life style and a fondness for takeaways did their stuff.

    On this diet I’m now coming up to a 5 stone loss. 2 to go.

    I feel good in myself and empowered to deal with my health issue. Life is good. My mood is usually light and the effort/focus required here isn’t as big a deal as I remember coming off the fags.
