Hi Everyone,

If you happen to follow my blog you will know I am a huge fan of intermittent fasting. I recently discovered 16:8 intermittent fasting which incredibly, helps to lose weight while you sleep! I decided to give it a go and so far I have lost 2kg/4.4lbs by following the simple fasting basics for just over a week!

I have been doing the new 5:2 diet by Michael Mosley on and off for a while and am seeing some steady results, losing around 2lbs/.9kg a week which is a healthy progress. There are so many health benefits involved with intermittent fasting, apart from the obvious weight loss. I have wrote an extensive article on it here. read more

Hi Lovelies,

I have been following the Mediterranean diet for a while now and I’m enjoying the benefits so far. I have just introduced 5:2 intermittent fasting into the mix so I am happy to be losing weight and feeling great. If you want to read more about this diet, check out my previous post on it here “The new 5:2“. The first couple of weeks take a bit of adjusting to since the calorie reduction to 800 is a bit restrictive, but actually it isn’t too bad at all. The newer version of the 5:2 allows 800 calories instead of 500, as it was previously. The extra 300 calories is a lot less difficult to stick to. read more

As I scroll through Instagram I watch all these people get their lives together. People are losing weight left and right as I sit here with rolls on my body. I have been ashamed my whole life and will continue to be ashamed for the rest of my life. “My body will never look bikini ready,” I tell myself. I had been one of the many who had engaged in yo-yo dieting and diet fads in order to lose weight. I had been someone to say I wanted to lose 10 pounds for an upcoming relatives’ wedding and then proceeded to gain 15 after the wedding was over. In the past I had lost weight, sometimes up to 20 pounds at a time but it never lasted. I was unmotivated, lazy, and quite honestly, ready to quit hoping for a better future. read more
