The FastDay Forum

I am doing my second fast today and so far so good. Had 2 scrambeled eggs and mushrooms this morning and will do a chicken stirfry tonight. I am drinking a lot of herbal tea with it and not feeling too bad at all! Lost of luck to everyone around the globe who are in the same boat!

Welcome newbies.@AOB117, I find it much better to save it up for the end of the day and have a decent meal. Today I had 4 hot drinks: black coffee at breakfast time, a herbal tea at morning tea time and 2 regular black teas in the afternoon and after dinner. I had a fish stew for dinner - fish and mussels in a spicy tomato soupy concoction with a slice of sour dough toast. It was filling and satisfying. I am now into my 2nd year of fasting and I have to say it is getting easier and easier. I still have hard days and then I have a miso soup in the middle of the afternoon. Other people have other kinds of salty drinks. One of the secrets is to keep busy. I also find it good to Go Out in the afternoon, and not hang around the kitchen. Just hang in. You won't die of hunger. It's just a feeling and it will pass. Distract yourself. And you can have it tomorrow.

I'm off to bed now. Good book and looking forward to breakfast in the morning.

Goodnight Sallyo I'm off now too and so looking forward to breakfast.
Keep going everyone else, you can do it.

I'm in. Haven't done too well, prob about 600 cals but it's better than nothing (well not really). I am still ok with what I've done today, thinking about fasting tomorrow too as it's been a tough week this one and next getting them in but I'll see how I go. Got a real hankering for Scrambled eggs. Yum, does anyone know of a good bread substitute?

I have been fasting today, my day is almost over though! I feel great, only 300 cals so far, and I don't feel that I even need the other 200! Keep on pushing through everyone
