A 55-year-old woman has shed more than two stone after being inspired to transform her health using the The Fast 800 programme.<\/p>\n

Lorraine Kerr began her weight loss journey last summer, dropping from 14st 7lb to her current weight, just 6lbs from her target of 8st 4lb.<\/p>\n

The dramatic weight loss has eliminated her irritable bowel syndrome, improved her fibromyalgia symptoms and reversed her pre-diabetic condition.<\/p>\n

Her transformation from struggling with mobility to swimming regularly in the sea marks a complete turnaround in her health.<\/p>\n

Before starting The Fast 800<\/a>, Lorraine had struggled with emotional eating following family bereavements.<\/p>\n

“I’ve always been an emotional eater, and after losing both my mother and sister in a very short space of time, I found myself turning to sugary foods,” she said.<\/p>\n

Her typical daily diet included an extra-large Danish pastry for breakfast, coffee with cream and artificial sweeteners, a steak pie and crisps for lunch, plus chocolate bars and biscuits throughout the day.<\/p>\n

The 5ft 1.5in woman’s weight had reached 92kg, causing severe mobility problems.<\/p>\n

“I was struggling to walk anywhere because of my weight,” she admitted.<\/p>\n

Her health issues included irritable bowel syndrome with pain so severe she sometimes needed morphine, fibromyalgia, back problems from permanent coccyx inflammation, and a GP warning that she was pre-diabetic.<\/p>\n

Lorraine began the Very Fast 800 programme, consuming 800-900 calories daily through Mediterranean-style meals for 12 weeks.<\/p>\n

“I found the first 12 weeks difficult at first. I was very hungry but absolutely determined,” she said. Within three days, her IBS symptoms vanished completely.<\/p>\n

“The amazing thing was that within three days of starting the programme, my irritable bowel syndrome, which I’d suffered from for a couple of years, had vanished, and it’s never returned,” Lorraine revealed.<\/p>\n

She discovered artificial sweeteners were the culprit after reintroducing them as a test.<\/p>\n

“When I stopped eating the sweeteners, the symptoms vanished again,” she explained. Her new diet embraces vegetables, Greek yoghurt, salads and oily fish, with favourites including harissa greens and halloumi.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t think I’d enjoy it, but I absolutely love it,” she said.<\/p>\n

Lorraine now maintains her weight loss through The Fast 800’s Way of Life approach, combining healthy eating with regular exercise.<\/p>\n

She began with resistance training, HIIT and Pilates five days weekly, progressing from struggling with basic movements to swimming in the sea regularly.<\/p>\n

“My body feels clearer and brighter. There are so many benefits,” she said.<\/p>\n

The 15-minute walk to the beach, including a steep hill, is now easy for her.<\/p>\n

“I haven’t had one day of IBS since I stopped eating artificial sweeteners,” she confirmed.<\/p>\n

Her fibromyalgia and back pain have also dramatically improved, with no severe pain episodes in six months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 55-year-old woman has shed more than two stone after being inspired to transform her health using the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":179359,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4318],"tags":[372,105,388,4434,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-179358","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-diet","9":"tag-health","10":"tag-lifestyle","11":"tag-nutrition","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114672493922036635","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=179358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
