The FastDay Forum

Phew Lilsmiler thats monday over
Enjoyed my 500 cals about 730 but i did want to go on eating
Think will try to find the strength of character to do a 36 hr liquid fast soon tho fear i will be awake all night with grumbling tum x

Had the most terrible use of my calories today. Went to a quiz tonight and ordered my herbal tea just in time for the jellybean tasting round!!

They gave us fifteen different flavours of those jelly belly beans and you had to guess what they were!! I completely caved in and ate 15- apparently that's about 70 calories. That plus two cup a soups and a million cups of tea/ coffee have added up to 480. And now I have a huge sugar crash and I am starving!!

Night night people. Hope sleep comes soon! X

Hi all, I'm new here and today has been my first fasting day

It went ok I think, I had an apple and a cup a soup to tide me over until about 3:30 then went out for a walk. I was feeling really lethargic by then. I had a ready meal and a low fat dessert for dinner, plus extra veg. I was so happy to eat!

Think I probably went over by about 50 calories but I did it. I have a terrible headache though, and I'm going to bed with my stomach rumbling. Good to be here.

Welcome! Well done on completing your first fast day! I had a headache all day my first day but been alright since then. Make sure you drink.plenty of water.

Thanks I was so excited to eat this morning, but when I actually did, I ate really slowly, and wasn't that bothered. Usually first thing I'm ravenous.

Thats how it goes for many @cat_s85 . I still haven't eaten and doubt if I will till about 1pm or even later.

For the fast days, many find that saving all or most, bar a mug of bouliion and some milk in their tea, of their calories for the evening meal works at staving off the hunger monster. That plus not eating any carb rich foods on fast days, some also say that carb rich foods the night before a fast make them hungry too.

There is nothing inherently wrong with having a moderately low blood sugar, that is when the body starts to convert fat into energy after all. Its the sugar crash after eating carbs that causes the most discomfort.
