Eight weeks has flown by! I have lost a stone and 6 pounds and I can honestly say that I don’t really feel that I am on a diet at all. I have dieted before and put weight straight back on – this time I am changing my diet for good – so it’s not a diet, it’s a way of life now. I really like the food you can eat and the odd ‘blip’ hasn’t ruined what I have done so far. There’s a part of Michael’s book where he more or less says that if you slip up sometimes don’t beat yourself up, just get back to eating the good stuff! It’s true – I had a week towards the end of March where I was out nearly every night for a meal – complete diary overload!!! – but I chose sensibly and even though I didn’t lose a thing that week, next week I did so it didn’t ruin anything. So for me this is the way forward. The health benefits have already been more than I could have hoped for. I miss bread – I used to eat a lot – but to be honest, not as much as I thought I would. Be encouraged everyone – this works and believe me, if I can stick with it anyone can. I wish I had known about this years ago – but I am making the difference now, and one day I know I will wave goodbye to my diabetes. I am determined!

Hey Daria, well done you.
It is wonderful to read the posts from people achieving the 8 week mark, and still enjoying this way of eating.
I’m only 1 week in and I have to say I’m loving it.
I also wish that I had commenced this way oc eating a long time ago.

Congtatulations on becoming a veteran Daria
An excellent set of results and more proof (if any more is needed) that this lifestyle does the job.
what are your plans now ? 5:2 Med maintainence, or staying on the fast 800 to lose a little more?

Well done, Daria!

It’s very encouraging to read posts from people who’ve been on the diet for a while and have had such good results.

Thanks everyone! This is working for me so I am inclined to stick with it a while longer but I will have a good look round the other topics on here and see what others do after passing 8 weeks.
