The FastDay Forum

Hello. Am I the only Friday faster??? Coffee and water all day. I'll be having a small helping of cottage pie with lots of veg for dinner this evening. This will be my last 500cal fast for at least a few weeks. Come on @Hazelnut20 get your BSD thread started, I'm in as of Sunday I don't know how long I'll last, but will give it a go for 2 weeks and see how I feel at the end of that. Need somewhere to talk BSD with you, I'll wait for the new thread to pop up before quizzing you.

Good luck to anyone fasting today

I'm fasting today! only started this week doing 5:2, I've played a with 16:8 and the odd 24 hour fast before but i reckon this suits me best. I love the mental clarity i get from a fast. I will be going for a fresh soup for lunch and some white fish and veg tonight for my days allowance. Enjoy your fast day!

You are not alone! But I don't think Friday is a popular day. I don't usually do a Friday, but it's just worked out that way with having a Bank Holiday this week.
Good luck to you too!

Hi all,I fasted all day till a Greek dinner out but hard for me to do more than 2 fasts a week,hope everyone is doing well

@Newgirl, if you can manage two fasts a week, then you should be very pleased with that. I lost all my weight by using 5:2 and not giving up any foods, although I did cut down on sugary foods - as much as a self-confessed sugar-addict can!
I would suggest sticking to 5:2 and then use 4:3 only in an emergency or when your weight loss stalls. This is aWOL not a form of torture so just take it easy and make it work for you! Good luck!

My fastday turned into an eating window today. Didn't eat until after 4pm but have gone over 500cal, not sure by how many, didn't go mad, may be 1000cals-ish, don't really think it was that many though. Was my 3rd fast this week so not really bothered, may be it's because I know I'm starting the blood sugar diet on Sunday. Just hope changing my plan doesn't mess with my head as I've been doing ok since my return to fasting. Time will tell.

Stowgateresident thanks so much for your words of encouragement, I will be happy to just keep going,weight loss has happened so I must be doing something right,will go for my blood test soon to see if I have lowered my cholesterol
