Hi there
Well done on the first fast. They do get easier, but the first few are hard ! Worth it though when the results kick in.
I too was very tired with the first few but I just went to bed early
Try to eat when you are hungry in the morning, and even extend the timing of your first food. Alot of us found that we are just not hungry next morning after a fast, weird I know. You go to bed thinking, I could eat a horse, then next morning, you have lost that feeling. Try to get into a habit of eating when proper hungry. So lots of tummy rumbling !
Water is your friend so when you feel hungry, have a little water and wait and see if it goes away.
Since my first fast I have only had one breakfast in 7 months. The non brekky next day kicked in from the first fast.
You will soon find what suits, just watch the foods that can spike, like bread. Nothing wrong with having calorie counted food on a fast as its quick and takes the guess work out. M&S count on us are fab, just check they are for one person as not all of them are !
Roll on your second fast, and good luck

After waking up at 6.30 I ate a Slimming World snack bar at 7am with a cup of tea with two sugars then nothing but 2litres of water until 4pm. At 4pm I had a 450 calorie co op chicken curry microwave meal but after that I craved sugar so had two malteser celebrations. Hopefully I haven't strayed too far from 549 calorie recommended limit.
Initially I found it pretty easy and the water definitely helped take the edge off the hunger, but I felt really hungry around 2 o clock when I wasn't as busy. Luckily when I finished work at 3.10 I had the school run to take my mind off it then I ate as soon as I got home. I've never enjoyed a microwave meal so much in my life
So all in all I feel I've not had a bad first fast day although the lack of energy going in has left me feeling very tired now so early night for me! Looking forward to having a nice sandwich for lunch tomorrow
