The FastDay Forum

I started on 19 Aug and while I can't say that fasting was very difficult at the beginning, today it proved to be really smooth, even if I spent my day thinking about food. But I was not thinking about cakes or chips, etc, I was thinking about veggies, how I need to learn new yummy recipes so during my feast days I can enjoy them. So today I went to get my groceries and they were >90% fruits and veggies I came home and cooked some beans, cause that is a must in a Mexican home, and I also prepared a very nice dinner for tonight: tilapia (not a new recipe but a family favorite) and a new recipe of stir fried broccoli. I am a big fan of Asian food (at least the American version that I am used too), so I feel like trying those recipes as soon as I see them. I actually bought a vegetarian cookbook that looks yummy and that's where I got the recipe. I am not vegetarian at all, but I want ideas to increase our intake of veggies and I can complement with a nice fish or meat.
Feeling good and hopefully tomorrow will be a nice and smooth "day after"...

I agree that it gets easier. I've been at it since the end of March, and I barely notice fast now. Exceptions are after a holiday or after a long break. In the beginning, I sometimes found concentrating difficult on a fast day. Now, that isn't an issue at all.

I am also very pleased at how healthy my grocery basket has become!

Hi Iztla Glad the fastdays are getting easier for you well done on the cook book and trying the new recipes there are threads on the forum on vegetarian recipes and advice also low Carb vegetarian section.
Good Luck with future fasts. Sue.

That sounds promising. I've only just started and although the fast days don't seem to bad it's great to know they get easier.
