Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Been back on this since returning to work after Christmas. Was quite pleased this morning when my belt went in a notch :-)

Anyone else still on it or am I all alone these days :-)

A friend of mine lost a couple of stone doing this and has kept to 6:1 ever since maintaining his new weight give or take.

I think its just the flexibility that suits him, all you have to do is not eat, for one day a week.

Ha, love that. "Just not eat" to lose weight! We're a daft bunch aren't we?

I started it again in mid-October but didn't even try over 2 weeks through Christmas & New Year.
I've lost a total of 4 kg but I'm not strict with the 600 calories on the '2' days & sometimes do a 4:3 with 1200 cals instead.

Skipping breakfast is the main part & I don't really miss it as long as I can have a hot drink.

I lost one and a half stone last year. I'm just maintaining on a 6:1 regime now.

5 days of 'normal' eating and 2 days eating 600 calories (men), 500 calories (women).

Fast days are best not done on consecutive days, unless you have amazing willpower.
