The FastDay Forum

I'm done eating today, had 4 meals. Ended up on 448 kcal. Feeling great, not hungry at all

I'm in here in NY. Late getting to the party, but it's been that kind of day. I overdid it on drinks last night and surprisingly underdid it on food, the result being a bit of a cocktail flu today. I'm pushing through though! Ginger tea to settle the stomach and looking forward to a lovely pork tenderloin and string beans....tick tock is it dinner time yet? Good luck all!

FYI the salty drinks have a purpose as you pee so much the sodium helps in the maintenance of electrolyte balance. Just as caffeine drinks stave off headaches so that us why you see reports of people tucking into miso, oxo or marigold bullion. Had a teaspoon of vegemite in hot water yesterday in my fasting fluids line up. There is a good thread by Caroees you can access by tapping the coloured bubbles at the top of the page, the newbie 5:2 tips I think.

Looks like lots of solid 5:2 fasting was had well done everyone

I'm fasting today too - second fast of the week. I was in maintenance but I'm trying to shift the Christmas gain so back to 5:2 for a while.

I had home made turkey soup for dinner. I'm really tired today as I slept badly last night so I'm planning to go to bed soon.
