The FastDay Forum

Hi Wednesday Fasters

I'm fasting today (my 6th Fast) but have woken up early and now at 8.20 I'm feeling hungry already. I think I will need snack meals to keep me going till dinner time.

Good Luck to all others fasting today

I am doing an extra fast today. I was also up early because I am waiting for a delivery & I am already feeling really chilly so I will do some dancercise soon. I off to get a fruit tea & will be eating only dinner & have a tuna steak & stir fried veg planned.
Good luck to all Wednesday fasters

Oh guys-I just discovered I can only have 400 cals on a fast day.im dreading today as I've been up since 6am and feel foggy.intensinf to drink stock cubes til dinner

Why 400mjmousey - I thought it was 500?

My tdee thing is only 1600 cals-I'm only 5 foot with 6lbs to lose

Week 3 and 2nd fast of week for me....feeling of hunger have now started to kick in, but will manage til lunch-time. Fast was scheduled for tomorrow but woke up this morning and felt today was the day.....may even do a 4:3 this week....???

I haven't considered the TDEE issue, but at 5'3" and with my current BMI I seem to be doing OK on 500 cals for Fast days (losing weight and not feeling overly desperate)
Fruit tea is keeping the hunger pangs at bay, but it's a cold day here and I am feeling chilly.

Doing my 12th fast day today. Feeling a bit chilly but that's probably because the bathroom is being retiled and people keep leaving the front door open! Haven't had a bathroom for 10 days and no idea where the scales have gone so I'm hoping for a nice surprise when it all comes together again.

I'm doing my fifth fast today and for the first time it feels a bit daunting (well I felt daunted about the very first one but was amazed to find it was simple)... Does anyone else find that as soon as they eat they just want to eat more? I have found it better to just hang in there and have the 500 cals in the evening before bed. If I have something small 'to keep me going' it's like my body just goes 'Food time! Where's the rest?!'. So I think I'll stick to guzzling water 'til later. Hope everyone else has a good fast day.

Hi I am fasting today. Overslept this morning! Went straight to Pilates class after a shower. Was really hungry at 10.15 when I returned home. (Ate supper at 8pm last night). Had green tea and waited till 11am to eat porridge (Oat so simple, original, with 100g blueberries). Also had a Benecol strawberry drink. I calculate that as 277 calories!

Lots of different herbal teas in cupboard and new lot of Nespresso capsules arrived yesterday so lots of hot drinks available to keep me going.

Good luck all who are fasting today.

Fasting today too along with you all. 25g porridge for breakfast (I can't last all day without food) black tea keeping me going until soup time tonight ! Usual grumbling noises starting to be heard from my stomach - I'll have to divert it with the walk round the park in my lunch break. Cold but sunny, but fresh air will take my mind off of food - at least until I walk past the numerous sandwich bars Good luck to you all

So far, so good....just back from toddler group, resisted the cake, and had a black coffee....pushed the kids there in the double-buggy, so got in a 40-min walk as well.....roll on supper.....3 venison meatballs (40 cals each) in a homemade roasted vegetable tomato sauce, with a handful of pasta.....should come in around 385 cals...other 100 for cuppa soup at lunch and sundries.....

My second ever fast today! Going not too bad so far, trying to keep myself busy so i don't think about food. I have just had water so far, but might have some sort of hot drink soon (feeling chilly today). I'm sure that if I did have anything to eat I would find it very hard to stop, so saving my calories until tea time. Weigh day tomorrow, so keeping that in mind too.

Its 5to2happys second fast today

I did 6pm sunday to 6pm monday and was really struggling with it feeling pretty ill and grumpy , but today is going much better especially after weighing my self this morning lost a bit over one of these

Went for a 6pm tuesday start and now going for the 36 hour stretch ending with a big breakfast at 6am tomorrow to get me going for a big active day.

Today had 50g of porridge half eaten at 10 am and then 12 am seems to be working much better than yesterdays two spaced out boiled eggs and salmon/salad at 5pm
Guess the half hour on the bike using only protein made it too hard.

Just need to have a good filling 500 cal dinner to push me towards the finish line.

So far this morning.....
I've taken my car to the garage
Been to 1 hour Zumba class
Done the shopping
Had the car valeted
Dropped of a card to someone in town.
I left at 8am and have just stepped in the door this minute.

I'm fasting today and even doing the shopping I didn't feel hungry.
Just having some lovely fizzy water which I've always hated, and since staring on this diet now love!
2 fish cakes for tea with some sprouts and salad. Yummy. I'm looking forward to it, and the thought if it around 5.30 will keep me going till then.
Good luck every one. I LOVE fast days.......
