Week 12 of 6/18 fast diet. [View all]

Lost 18 lbs, first time in 20 years under 200lbs. BMI is today at 25, normal,healthy weight for my height. No longer need statin drugs or blood pressure drug. Had to buy new jeans as those 36 inch waist ones were falling off.

Started on the 2/5 day fast. It was doable but not fun. 6/18 is a piece of cake. Try to have last meal of day between 4 and 5 pm. Eat first meal 8 to 9 am. Tried different times and this works best for me. Every week it gets easier and easier.

Well worth taking a look at it cost nothing, save money and feel great.
