The FastDay Forum

I looked for this week's liquid fasting thread and couldn't find one - is anyone else out there liquid fasting today? My day is nearly over now and I can start looking forward to breakfast...

The best of luck to all liquid fasters out there!

I have started my Monday liquid fast today. Off to London tomorrow with my mum so will no doubt eat well so a fast in preparation will do me good. Had a meal out lunchtime yesterday and was so stuffed I didn't eat anything else so a bit concerned my fast will be quite long so will see how I go. So far it's feeling fine, have my daughter's friend arriving soon so enjoying the calm before the storm as baby is asleep! House looking tidy again which is always a bonus of fast days!
Hope the rest of your fast goes well :0)

I think I'm liquid fasting today - never quite confident in saying it this early in the day yet but had two successful liquids fasts last week so why not continue!

Envious that your day is nearly over, Airi, I'm barely 2 hrs into the day at work and have definitely got that Monday feeling. Plenty of household chores waiting at home to keep me busy through the evening so not much fun to be had today I'm afraid.

I'm with you all today too. It's raining and slightly cooler than it has been so I'm celebrating that and hoping it will make fasting easier.

Good luck to anyone else fasting today. I hope it goes quickly and easily for you

I'm in today. I woke up with a thumping headache and I've still not got rid of it. Will take the pain killers and drink lots.

Me and my girls had a full weekend of sailing training this weekend which meant packed lunches and lots of nibbles, generally a bad carb overload - never mind sailing was amazing. Glad to be fasting today and planning good healthy food tomorrow.

Iam in today; just back from a short day at work; feeling hungry; which is unusual for me; maybe because of the cooler weather.
We had a diner party for 8 on Saturday evening, it went well but I eat and drank too much We spent most of Sunday cleaning up and recovering but managed to go out for a short walk.
Wildmissus; your weekend sounds great; what sort of boat were you sailing in; I used to sail quite a bit; we had a enterprise dinghy on conniston. We would go over for the weekend, walk the hills one day and sail the other. Happy days

Hi guys, I'm in for a liquid fast today too. 4.40pm and doing ok, bit of a headache but hopefully more water with take of that.

I've had some fizzy water with lemon, lots of plain water and a diet coke. I'll have some herbal tea this afternoon and I'm already looking forward to my miso soup later but determined to wait as long as possible to have it as that seems to work best for me.

What does a liquid fast look like to everyone else? This is only my 3rd one so I'm interested in what others have found works best for them...

Good luck today!

My LF consist of green tea and water. But even on my non fast days that is what I drink.

Hope your headache eases up soon.

Hi C&C

I just have water tea or coffee with a little milk; nothing else. I just wanted something simple that didnt involve any calory counting or meal planing.
It works for
Good luck for the rest of your fast day

Today is my first ever LF. Had a cup of buillion at lunch time, otherwise had lots of water, black coffee and herbal tea.
Kids took me for a game of squash late morning.
So far, no ill effects at all - though have to admit to feeling hungry a few times (more water taken!!)
Hope I can make it though to bed time - because I generally sleep well.

Good luck to all others

I'm quite new to this and still finding my liquid fasting feet but so far my strategy has been coffee & tea with a bit of milk, plenty of water (often warm water as I'm not very good at drinking it cold), have sometimes had a cup of miso soup at dinner time. Today I have some chicken broth at home so may have some of that with chilli paste and lime like a hot and sour soup.

Feeling cold and hungry today; must be the change in weather, as you say Jacksati. So I'm hoping broth will warm me up a bit without triggering the hunger switch. Will report back.

Once I had a hot chocolate but that really didn't help! Sugar definitely makes you hungry.

I've still got my headache, I think it might be the weather, there has been thunder skirting around us all day. Beginning to feel hungry as well which is unusual for me on a Monday.

Jacksati, the three of us were supposed to be Topper training (with 3 trainers from Chanonry who missed the cut for the Olymoics) but they were one boat short so me and one of the other parents took out a wayfarer. We were really fortunate because one of the other mum's jumped on board and she used to be a dinghy instructor so she has me practicing man overboard with a buoy and she had me going goose-winged. I learned so much from her. On Saturday the other parent and I went out to play on the laser fun boat. As it was a long day they called us in a couple of times and on the third occasion that we went out we were struggling to get anywhere, then I realised that we were low in the water. One of the kids decided it would be a fun boat if they took out one of the bungs. We were sinking . I've only been sailing since last year and I love it and so do my 12 & 14 year old daughters.

I'm in today (Tuesday).

I liquid fasted Monday, didn't eat til 11am today! I was considering doing two days and then thought better of it. Was only my 2nd liquid fast and my 3rd fast since starting the 5:2 WOE

Broke my fast with watermelon and apple and still felt so hungry so had two slices of raisin toast with olive oil spread and feel much better now.

Fasting again on Thursday!

Good luck everyone fasting today!

Successful first fast of the week, broke it this morning with a dippy egg and soldiers which should set me up for my trip to London today! Shame it's raining, but we'll still have fun no doubt and planning to see a show this evening depending what's available, maybe billy Elliot if there's tickets going. Looking forward to a break from the kiddies and some quality time with my mum! Happy fasting all those in today :0)
