    Starting out on the 800 BSD today. Not diabetic but doing this to prevent future health problems and to reverse my overweight status. I have tried many diets before, namely Weight Watchers but always never quite get there and fall off the wagon. I’m hoping that the wagon keeps going on this one.

    Welcome oh PERFORATED one! This is the beginning of an exciting path for you. I’d recommend downloading (or uploading I never know) MyFitnessPal so that you can keep up to date with your calorie intake, carbs and exercise – its a great app!
    As someone who has tried every diet on that planet I believe this one is easy – but most of all its effective – and when you reach your goal you can always use fasts to help you maintain this beautiful new weight!
    I’m so excited for you!

    Good luck and keep posting

    Welcome – there are a few August 1st starters – having a bit of chatter and support over on the thread ‘starting tomorrow’ (maybe the thread needs renaming as we have started now.)

    I have survived day 1 so far and working tonight away from temptation….. have taken all my before measurements and scary selfies to capture the look I hope to banish….
