The FastDay Forum

Started my first fast today, have just had cup of tea with splash of milk (cals counted) and I'm planning on holding out till around 6pm before a meal (nice bowl of vegetable soup and maybe some bread). Have had a lazy dvd morning with my daughter in bed so not really thought about eating so so far so good, have counted in some fruit incase I struggle to get to 6pm but I'm not really feeling hungry. Hoping I can last the day and get my first fast under my belt xx

Be fine, you're all sorted with a good plan.

I bet you will end the day feeling quite amazed at how easy it is. Get plenty of fluids in.

Very true...Amazed. I had a banana around 2.30 as ny daughter was eating a snack and it set me off on wanting food but afterwards it made me feel sick!! Have held out till now and just had bowl of vegetable soup and slice of bread. Had 2 cups of tea and some diet coke plus lots of water. So all in all I've had around 380 calories give or take a few. Have got some low calorie yogurts in if I feel hungry before bed but soooo happy I've managed to get through the day xx

Yay! I couldn't believe how simple it was. I've done five so far and none have been too scary.. Especially knowing you can eat well the next day.

Funny how I'm looking forward to my next fast day...I've been up since 8.30 with little one but have only just felt hungry but I did enjoy my peanut butter on toast Haha 'feast' day today but going to try and make good choices and not pig out!!x

Yeah, I find I don't want to go mental on feast days. In fact, I am already finding my appetite is changing. I no longer feel compelled to eat as soon as I get up and if I eat a lot I feel sick so I tend to eat smaller portions. Never thought my attitude to food would change so quickly.. I am very pleased (Oh and I have lost 6 pounds in eleven days which is great).

Totally agree with all you're saying Teresab.
I LOVE fast days, and feel so much better mentally and physically than I have in a very long time.
I feel I have to continue to stay healthy.
Got the fast days sussed and now trying to work out what works best on the non fast days.
Good luck.

I know what you mean, it used to be in was always thinking what can I eat next, but today I know what I'm going to have for lunch/dinner and have got fruit and low calorie yogurts in if I fancy snacking, I have ever just bought a mars bar from the shop...usually it be gone by time I got home but it's sat in the kitchen cupboard now!!

Good luck Natalie
