Fast Diet

No, not really.  I referee football matches throughout the season but turn into a slob for the Summer.

I've never been in a position where I need to lose weight, but I know people who have and they've lost it simply by eating less/better and by running a few times a week.  However I'm not a professional health adviser or nutritionist so my comments don't really mean anything, I just think it's a load of bollocks!


Neither of us are particularly overweight, and this is not the main incentive for us to try it.  I think it's more to do with putting your body in a 'slow' state, where it is not constantly filled with protein; I guess your body repairs itself better, then.  It is supposed to reduce the risk of some cancers, apparently.  I'll certainly keep you posted on how I get on.  
Don't let me put you off though, as I said above, I know FA!  Good luck and keep us updated as I'm genuinely interested to see how you do.

Fair enough, it's just everyone I know who has done it has done so to lose weight, when I think (actually, I say it to them) that maybe 30 minutes of exercise a few times a week might help them towards their goal.  I've always just thought that a well balanced diet with some exercise 3-4 times a week and you can't go wrong.  It amazes me how reluctant people are to put in some hard work to lose the weight they're so (apparently) desperate to lose!
