Every day there will be a new topic in this forum for today's fasters to chat & support each other.
Please don't make extra threads in here besides the daily fasting threads, if you've got a question please post it in the relevant forum or ask in today's 'Fasting Today' thread, thank you.
I ate between 5.30 and 8.30pm on Saturday, had dinner today at 5.30pm (fast today) and probably won't eat til dinner tomorrow. Could the long gaps be why I'm getting headaches?
The longest daily fasting regimen I've come across is the so called warrior diet in which the eating window is 4 hours. If you are enjoying your way of fasting, you could try just extending your eating window by a little to see if it makes a difference. Or have lunch at weekends as a treat maybe.
I know that @ballerina often only eats one meal a day with no problems so I wouldn't worry too much.

Edited to add......I have a relative who has only ever eaten one meal a day for all his adult life and did the Great Glen Way to celebrate being 70 years of age and VERY fit. 50 years of only eating once a day has worked well for him.

I just need to get myself sorted.
We have absolutely loads going on and I know I comfort eat, so am doing my best to avoid that nasty habit, but may be overcompensating by being too strict! I will see what the scales show on Friday and go from there!
BTW I live having permission to "skip" meals. Over the years I've struggled with breakfast but was told I'd stay fat as I wasn't switching my metabolism on. I much prefer having a decent sized meal in the evening, with an occasional bacon and scrambled egg bap for brekkie if we are away!
We are off for a walk around trellissick woods now, so if nothing else, 5:2 has got me exercising again (plus I'm crawling out of my cave to socialise, albeit virtually!)
Thankyou x
@Karenm I think you will find that the vast majority if us are exactly the same so don't worry about it, you are not unusual. I'm never hungry when I get up and like you, if I have something to eat then the whole day just goes bananas, it also goes whole packets of Jaffa cakes, complete tubs of ice cream, anything that used be edible that now lurks in dark and dusty corners and well, anything really, it is most annoying and all because I had breakfast, phew, no more though!!!
@Julianna I'm glad you are enjoying this way of life, it is so liberating that I cannot for the life of me imagine EVER going back to how I used to be. On the days when I eat more than once, the second sitting is usually just a light snack, water biscuits with some cheese and tomato but NEVER a second proper meal, I just can't eat that much these days.

@Karenm Yes I'm the same if i eat at lunch I have to be very careful to lay the hunger monster down for the day or my day is doomed, however I'm finding a
very low/zero carb lunch full of lots of salad leaves very small tomato, at least one stick of celery, well you get the picture a massive plate full of nothing really doesn't wake him up these days or maybe I'm somewhat stronger mentally now than last year.
Having done Mon/Tues back2back in doing 18:6 today with the said lunch then chicken breast with veggies and celeriac & turnip mash for evening meal.
My feed days have evolved into at least 16:8 and I'm happy with that knowing that not eating breakfast is actually far better for me and I won't die from starvation.
