My plan (willpower is required)

This is what I'm going (to try to) do, starting with a fast day tomorrow...
Alternate day Fasting with 400-500 cals of healthy foods on the fasting days, ideally in a single evening meal 24 hrs after the last meal eaten on a food day. (if absolutely necessary I'm willing to entertain an instant miso soup or cup of beef stock made with a stock cube but that hasn't happened yet, so hopefully I won't need to going forward either)
Food days - no, you can't eat whatever you want if you're trying to lose weight!!! Not if you're inclined to binge on chocolate anyway... (One of my aims, in addition to losing weight and improving my overall health & fitness, is to get control of my sweet tooth.)
On food days I will base the majority of the food I consume on another diet I tried - but tweaked to remove the issues that led to me failing at it! This diet is the Ani Phyo 15 day Fat Blast - a vegan raw food diet that I tried to use as a detox though I'm not a vegetarian much less a vegan. The diet is very heavy on raw soups (really delicious) and fruit smoothies, excludes all grains & processed foods as well as meat, fish & dairy, and even soy except for raw soy sauce and miso. It is quite high in healthy fats from nuts, seeds, coconut oil & avocados, but lowish in protein. I really missed having chewable food last time so my plan is to modify the diet so: breakfast will be overnight-soaked gluten free oatmeal with dried & fresh fruit, flaxseed and nuts. Morning snack, lunch & afternoon snack will be based on 1 sweet & 2 savoury shakes from the plan, but with the option to add a piece of fruit, raw veggies, and possibly hummus to lunch. The evening meal will be homecooked food based around protein & vegetables but with some form of unrefined gluten free starch - gf bread/pasta, potatoes, rice, buckwheat or quinoa etc. And if I'm really not in the mood for that, there will be scope for the occasional less healthy homecooked meal, takeaway or restaurant visit. Once I reach my goal weight and switch to maintenance I'd like to carry on ADFing but boost the food day calories with a more varied diet and see how I get on.

And now, having mentioned the words goal weight I guess its time to state what that actually is... This morning, following a fast day, I weighed 10 st 12.5lbs, or 152.5 (english) lbs. I want to reach 140lbs in the end, 10 st exactly. I'm 5 ft 6 tall & sufficiently well endowed that I tend to look gaunt in the face if I try to go lower than that. Wish me luck...
