The general concesus of opinion among medical professionals, is to seek advice from your GP before you start a diet.
The diet I was planning to start is quite experimental, as in not mainstream (yet), so I duly told my GP what I was about to do. Dr Varma looked me up and down, checked my medical history, and said go right ahead! On my way out, I got a token from reception and weighed myself on the spangly machine with flashing lights in the waiting room.
I was shocked (and slightly disgusted) to discover that I'd cracked the 12.5 stones barrier. It turns out that not changing my lifestyle whatsoever, hadn't resulted in a reversal of my recent (ish) weight gain, as I'd hoped. More incentive to fast, then.
Here's the print-out from the machine, pre-diet:
My personal goals:
1. Reduce my weight from 79.2 kg to 69.7 kg (11.0 stones);
2. Reduce my BMI from 28.3 to 25.0.
More later.
"Eat, Fast and Live Longer".
Alex.
