My Dr Berg inspired diet & fasting

Serve food on small plates!

No carbs, alcohol, pasta, rice or bread until you see some weight loss then only for special occasions, it was 3 weeks for me!

16 hour fast - 18:30 to 10:30am
Breakfast - light fry in butter or olive oil spray a tomato and mushroom/s with slice of tofu and some spinach leaves. Add bacon or quality sausage at the weekend. (Black) tea or coffee or cider vinegar.

UPDATE: Sometimes I’m skipping breakfast and going to midday or 1pm for a ‘brunch’ That’s down from three to two meals a day.

14:30 lunch. Salad leaves, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, spring onion for example and hard cheese(s), olives. Glass of water with organic apple cider vinegar.

Optional mid afternoon snack: tea with a few nuts, olives or raisins. But try to stop doing this.

18:30 dinner. Three types of vegetables/salad, then the protein. No carbs except on special occasions. Citrus fruit, greek yogurt and berries. Water with lemon or cider vinegar.

Optional mid evening treat but try not to! Tea with a small piece 80% plus dark artisan chocolate, not the cheap stuff full of sugar and dairy, or a FEW nuts and olives.

The optional treats helped me get over some of the first couple of weeks hunger and ‘withdrawal’ symptoms.

I manage to go from 14st 8lbs (92.5kg) to 11st 12lbs (75.3kg), that’s a loss of 17.2kg or 2st, 9.9lbs!
