The FastDay Forum

What's the thinking?
I normally fast Mondays, have woken up after a vile night, with the standard issue cold symptoms.
Does one fat or give it a miss till feeling stronger?

If you feel hungry, eat, if not, fast! Let your body guide you.

Hope you feel better soon.

Craving fruit and cottage cheese, so ate it. Feeling more robust now.

I recommend eating if you are not feeling 100% as you need the strength. I felt unwell on my fast day last week, but I persevered with the fast. It was a big mistake as I was hit by a stomach bug and then ended up fasting (not by choice!) for the next two days. I think it took me longer to bounce back from the bug because I had been fasting the day before I got ill.

You're hardly likely to be overeating when you feel ill anyway, so I think don't fast until you feel better.
