By Andy Watson- From London in the United Kingdom.

At the age of 46, and with the UK in lockdown I was watching my already large frame rapidly gain weight, reduced exercise and easy access to the fridge were beginning to take their toll. Having had some reasonable success switching to a plant-based diet a few years previously I was still too heavy and wasn’t losing anymore. I had resigned myself to the fact I was always going to be big and was resigned to the health issues that were related to this.

I have always been big. There have been times where I have lost significant amounts of weight, but this has been following a regime of huge calorie deficit and lots of exercise and ultimately not maintainable and the weight has slowly returned. I have run marathons and done Ironman events.

Having been diagnosed with depression 6 years ago, my life had felt like a struggle, with it feeling as though I was simply dragging myself through the day and through life. My knees were painful, and I couldn’t walk down the stairs properly. I had also developed psoriasis on my fingers which was painful and unsightly.

I heard about IF from the Gin Stephens and Melanie Avalon “The intermittent fasting podcast”. I have no idea why I had downloaded it, or why I decided to listen on my dog walk. I am so glad I did, I started fasting immediately. It was the 13th May 2020 and I weighed 115.6KG I had total faith that the process was going to work.

I have lost 40kg and gone from clothing size xxxl to small.

I have slowly tweaked my window, the foods that I eat, the timing of my fast, I am now settled on 22/2 omad. I weigh myself daily. I can walk down the stairs, my psoriasis has gone, and my mood has lifted significantly, I feel happy, I am confident. I can think and concentrate, I feel fantastic.
