    Interesting article here, based on tonight's "Trust me, I'm a doctor" (BBC2). it seems my skewed version of the 16:8 diet, which retains my bad habit of late night snacking, isn't a bad diet after all. This suggests that the fasting period is the key issue, so "eat little and often" isn't necessarily good advice.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42705852

    Personally I found it easy to adjust to not eating before midday or even 2:00pm. Having eaten later, I find I'm more full at the time in the evening when I used to pig out.

    That explains it - I apply the eat little, often approach - Normally a handful of nuts or a bit of fruit every two hours or so.

    My personal, n=1 opinion is that we in the affluent world have forgotten what hunger really means. We dont know the difference between wanting and needing food. When we fast on a regular basis then our bodies learn the difference between too little and enough, so send 'satiation' signals at a more appropriate time. As I say, just opinion.

    Good. I've just walked into a kitchen absolutely full of cakes, and I'm hungry.

    Was initially disappointed with not hitting my target but just been reminded that I actually started the year at 108kg (before I joined this thread) so 5.5kg loss over the 12 months isn't too bad. Hopefully I can maintain the gradual decline and then look at resetting my goals

    Hi folks

    I’m interested in people’s views regarding a safe daily net calorie figure. My wife’s just started a new diet/fitness routine but is netting below 800 some days which feels a bit low.

    Use the calculator here to get a good ballpark figure:

    https://thefastdiet.co.uk/how-many-calo ... -fast-day/

    I'm not sure what you mean by "net" calorie figure. 800 total would be way too low for most people. I come out at 1500 kCal/day required to sit and do nothing all day (BMR), 2400 kCal/day required for a moderately active week (TDEE).

    Also is your wife on a crash diet- i.e. to get back in shape in a week or two after Christmas overindulgence and then go back to normal, or is she looking for a long term lifestyle change. A massive daily deficit will not be sustainable physically or psychologically. Worth watching "How to Lose Weight Well" on All 4 (Channel 4 catch up service ) as they look at crash diets as well as longterm diets - they look at different fads every week, the online index might help you get a look at the plan your wife is considering.

    Thanks for the reply, an example of net from yesterday was eating 1117 calories and using 319 cycling, making a net of 798.

    She’s looking for a long term sustainable option rather than a quick fix.

    The calculator suggests looking at a weekly activity level and using the TDEE (Total Daily energy expenditure) as a guide. To lose weight you need to be below the TDEE, but going below the BMR (kCal required to do nothing all day) is likely to be harmful when done day after day on a long term bais. Unless your wife is a house elf from Hogwarts, then 1117 is likely to be below BMR. Look at the diet over a typical week of the plan to see if it is healthy in this regard.

    That is very low.

    Depends how much exercise she does.
    Depends how big/tall she is.
    Depends what she want to achieve.

    2000Kcal's per day approximately, for women but do a BMI calculation.

    What? Going from 72 kg's plus this time last year down to 66 looks far better than 66.7 down to 66.
