Seems pretty skimpy sweetie. Don't hurt yourself.

You have reminded me that I REALLY need to open up that South Beach diet book.

:D

Just had another orange. :-) mmmmmm.
Tomorrow it's fasting, only juice and broth. Hubby and I did it before, it's a good way to reset the system and wean oneself off those pesky food addictions.
My utter weakness: chilli flavored tortilla chips
Hubby's weakness: chocolate in all shapes and sizes

Trust me, this will work. It will make me grumpy but other than that it will be good for me.

Not wanting to spam you here, but actually, seeing this post is what inspired me to create a new community, monday_gdp :-) Consider this an invitation. :-)

Ouch! Sounds brutal! How long are you going to do this? Don't overdo it will you?

Sorry - ignore me. After years of trying every diet going I finally got myself sorted and have now lost 50lb (what's that - 20-something kg?). Nothing worse than a born-again loser...

Good luck with it!

So is this a particular diet? All laid out etc or did you make it up? It works? How do you manage, I feel so weak with so little food. As a matter of fact, your post made me hungry. I think I'll go eat! :0

We usually fast for a week, about three times a year. Yes, I know, there's the yo-yo effect, but what helps us is the fact that fasting weans us off our food addictions.
I can't stop eating chips, but I can stop eating altogether. I know, it sounds silly, but it's true.
