The FastDay Forum

Who's in? I'm doing my second fast of the week, but only 1 day apart so will be interesting to see if I'm hungrier than usual, or if my energy levels drop towards the end. Will be going just liquid as usual.

Hi KataMac I'm fasting too. I've got a reasonably busy day so that will help. I think a tofu stirfry with zero noodles and veggies tonight.
Have a good fast everyone.

Hi everybody

Yes I am doing it all again today

Take care

Cheers
MAGGIE

Good luck all xx

hi everyone, I have a new computer: it's a MacBook Air!! I've just set it up and this is my first post It's so cool! I'm fasting today. I'm having a smoked goose salad for dinner - my OH has a Webber and it is his obsession to smoke things and we have a neighbour who procures poultry from around Tasmania. This goose came from an historic tourist homestead, Brickenden. Wayne, the neighbour goes there and dispatches turkeys and geese and other fowl on a regular basis to keep their flocks looking good. He is a prize plucker. He and his OH get to stay in the tourist cabins and he sells on the poultry to his friends. That's why I often speak of exotic poultry. We also keep chooks and pigeons. Sorry to go on... I am enjoying typing on my new computer! Have a good day everyone. I am also fasting after only one day off, as I did a Tuesday fast, so I am a bit tentative about it. How will it be?

@Sallyo I've done Tuesday and Thursday many times. It's not so bad. I love reading about what you eat Sallyo, smoked goose I've never had goose. If I was closer I'd be inviting myself over for dinner all the time!!

Good luck all. I am in too today, just checked my ketones after a fast Tues and low carb yesterday, but nothing yet. Live in hope!

@Debs you can also smell when you are In ketosis wee is the smell of new mown hay. Sorry if TMI but we all need to know what we can know I think as you may not have your stir on board. I haven't been in ketosis for such a long time but am enjoying ADF, I go as long as I can on fluids and depending how the day evolves it may be a low calorie day or if I capitulate it becomes like a window eating day. Pity I am such an efficient eater, love snacking.

always have lovely stuff at hand, not as much as @Sallyo though, smoked goose and new mac, you can go on all you like Sally, like your posts and am with @Wineoclock can I come to dinner too.

All that said I am in today for a fast. Due to a cook up yesterday I have a choice, will be able to have a small bowl of brown lentil chorizo dish if a window day or if I am succeeding with fluid fasting only it will be a green soup. All the best everyone

I'm in today. Good luck everyone!

Yes, I know gillymary, I was swoonig with jealousy at the thought of smoked goose!!! There is a lovely smoke house on Bruny Island that has lovely smoked food, but very expensive.
Like you I rarely get into ketosis as I struggle with low carb diets but I shall keep testing in hope! (Like the idea of new mown hay, better than asparagus!!)

Oh Sallyo that sounds delicious! And keep typing, poultry and other animals fascinating to me. Tassie really excels at all things food and farmstead - I must be overdue another visit (although I think I'll wait until summer.)

[Debs]

Yes, I would!! And maybe we have a cross border meet up!

Oh, sigh, I blew my Wednesday fast, so here i am on Thursday. Better stick to it today! Dr appt on Tues, I'd like to have good bloods, etc. In addition to just a few more # down. Methinks I'm putting too much pressure on myself. A sure fire recipe for disaster....
