The FastDay Forum

do my eyes deceive me? No thread started for today??

OK, I'll do it then! Today is my 4th fast since FINALLY getting back in the saddle last week so far so good. I have a long, busy day today, so that'll keep me out of trouble

Thank you Chichi for starting this thread. Also I am fasting today. I haven't fasted for over a week, because last week I was doing ADF until Wednesday (included). Hardly lost any weight. This Autumn has been quite a weighty one for me. We'll in three week's time Advent will start and my window fasting. So I am not going to worry about the extra couple of kilos right now. I am feeling very cold at the moment, so I think I am losing some weight.

Hi, I'm in too. Cheated a little bit on my Monday fast (probably about 750 cals instead of 500 over the day!) so trying to be more strict today. to all

Managed a 20 hour fast whilst walking 4000 steps round a local zoo - sloth and Lynx babies!
Well done and good luck fasting folk \o/

Thanks Chichi and Thursday fasting folks, I hope you all had/have a good day. Clocking in at 7.30pm! Rolled out of bed early and rushed to work ............... don't ask
Looking forward to a home made soya bolognaise on a bed of spinach, blueberries and greek yoghurt. Yum. Better get off the sofa and make it happen.

I was fasting today - until Number 1 son turned up at lunchtime with fish and chips for the three of us! I couldn't turn it down, so I'll be fasting tomorrow instead!
You have to love this WOL for it's flexibility!
I hope the day has gone well for you Thursday fasters!

I'm having my second fast ever today! Here in Seattle it's not quite noon. I ran 3 miles before work, had a protein drink (140cals) and I'm currently drinking tea. We shall see how running and fasting in the same day goes...

Good luck, @sauge. You should be fine - just keep up your fluids and ride out the hunger pangs! Stay strong!

@Sauge good day to you and congrats on your second fast! I hope all goes well today, let us know how you faired.

I'm in today for my usual light day; got up late 'cause I had one of those bad nights where I don't sleep till it's getting light out; very glad I was able to text my boss and say I'd be in late. It's just horrible trying to work--and fast!--on less than 2 hours of sleep. I sure wish I knew what causes this; it's none of the obvious--no extra caffeine; I walked yesterday, so not a lack of exercise; no unusual drinkies; no overindulgent meals...eh. So it's not quite 4pm here, will have my broth soon. Then a snack before I run some errands after work. Welcome to my friend @sauge! Though I don't recommend protein drinks on light days; in my experimenting, I've found that real food is SO much more filling/satisfying for the calories consumed, as long as you choose your food carefully. I suppose I eat low carb on light days, 'cause I just don't have bread, noodles, or anything else made with flour on those days. I guess it helps that I don't eschew carbs on normal days, so I only have to resist twice a week!

Hey, I'm reading an interesting book, "Secrets from the eating lab" by Traci Mann. She states that diets don't work --big surprise! I haven't gotten far in it yet, but will share any pertinent info.

Night, night to all still fasting me is off to sleep Well done
