    OH has been on his version of Fast 800 since end May.

    He is eating more calories than 800 as not much weight to lose – has gone down from 12st 5lbs to 12 stone (5ft 11″) and a trouser size and 2 shirt sizes.

    He is restricting carbs to less than 40g per day and is hoping to get off Metformin.

    However although not eating pulses really, or indeed things like cabbage (mostly spinach, courgette) he is finding flatulence increasing rather than decreasing (as other people have reported).

    He has, however, added small quantities of milled flax, sprinklings only, in the last few days.

    Anyone experienced effects from this?

    Think he will try leaving this off for a few days to see if he can be less jet-propelled! 😉

    Goodness knows what he’d be like on inulin.
