The FastDay Forum

I'm in to for my third and last fast of the week! My Lil' one kept me up most of the night (teething me thinks) and its only 9:20 am here. Its gonna be a long one till dinner time. Roll on the weekend

Count me in. I woke up late and had only coffee (no breaky). Had a salad for lunch, kept it under 100 calories. So far so good. Off to the salon for a haircut now.

I'm in today. Usually do a Thursday, but school holiday picnic got in the way! Going well but feeling a bit water bloated this week.

Happy fasting

I don't know why but today is really really hard.... I am supposed to have my dinner in 1 hour and I am supposed to have a big salad with cucumber, lettuce, tomatoes and tuna but, without nowing why, I don't seem to believe it will be enough...

It's the first time I feel that and it's not a good feeling...at all...

Yes I have also felt hungry today but kept at it doing washing, ironing & drinking water to distract me. Just having a coffee then looking forward to my supper of Thai chicken curry & not exceeding 500 cals. Weigh in day tomorrow so not rotting that up & hoping I will have lost some weight.
Hope all of you had a good day.

Manderley, have something with it, whatever you find filling. Or, do my trick...

When I have a salad, I always add grated raw garlic to it. Apparently, it takes forever for the stomach to digest it and I feel full for longer. Only if I don't have someplace to be though; I'd hate killing people with my breath.

Thanks TML

I don't have fresh garlic but I'll try with a yogurt (after the salad I have around 300 calories left) I have abricots but there is too many carbs in them, I can't risk it

Fasting today and still not eaten a thing - looking forward to a nice big dinner. I've found it much easier to hold off the food until my evening meal then I can have something substantial - and it's easier working out the calories for just one meal.

Out of curiosity, how come you don't have garlic?

Haha TML that exactly what I said to myself!

Well I was in for my third fast of the week but........I ate three chocolate covered blackberry ice cream bars! And, boy were they good

I put a lot of herbs and spices in my cooking but I don't use a lot of fresh garlic

I'm sure they were worth it, don't look back, it's all done now.

You should. Garlic is nature's heart medicine!
