The FastDay Forum

I know the temperature has dropped somewhat today but does anyone else find they are extra cold on a fast day?

8th fast today - not too hungry but REALLY cold and headachy! Going to get on with some writing to pass the time till tea. I always find it more difficult to concentrate on fast days though.

My 2nd fast day of wk1 and I am having a go at eating nothing until my meal tonight at 6pm. So far so good! Only had 1 tummy rumbly episode so can cope with that. I haven't been able to give up milk in my coffee though so have had 3 cups with skimmed milk in. It helps though Looking forward to my tea tonight - omelette with salad - although I can honestly say I am not hungry - and that's working in a cake factory where they have been making Chocolate Brownies today - the smell! Good luck to everyone fasting today.

Having a good day, but headache has come on in last hour : (

well i failed in trying to make it till teatime
had a small orange a nectarine and a options for lunch - everybody seemed to be eating soup around today and tummy was uber growly
hopefully still enough cals for a 3 egg mushroom omlette and grilled toms for tea - as long as i dont change my mind again :-0

happy fasting

Hi all - no time to reas back through all today's posts, but hope the fast is going well for all.

I'm extra cold today, but at least keeping busy with work.

My only complaint is that all my work today is related to delicious looking cakes! (I maintain the website for a craft show organiser, at the moment it's lots of updates for their Cake show). It all looks so yummy, I swear I'm going on a baking spree tomorrow!

Nora- how do you microwave an egg? That would be so handy in adding variety to fast day lunches at work!

Well this is my 8th week of fasting and this is by far the toughest one yet! The reason being is that (in my wisdom) drank far too much wine last night, and I am really suffering today as a result.. HEadache, and my legs are like jelly. Still got to last until around 7pm.

I normally have no problems fasting, but today it is torturous..

8th fast today. Porridge and blueberries for breakfast and veg stirfry with some tofu for tea. Off for a cup of green tea now. Good luck everyone!

When I was little my mum had some of these:



You just crack the egg into them, stick the lid on and nuke for about 30 seconds!

It's my 6th fast day today and it's been fine. I've had nothing to eat yet just black coffee in the morning followed by lots of water and peppermint tea. Keep changing my mind about what to have for tea tonight. I was going to have a prawn cocktail salad but I'm feeling a bit cold so may have something hot instead. An hour to go for me till my meal time. Hope everyone else is having a good day

Bit of a tough fast day today due to being hungover but that will serve me right. The end is in sight tho, had some French onion soup for lunch but it was v nice so but disappointing. Quorn cottage pie for tea which I will try and have as late as I can so I'm not too hungry to sleep. Looking forward to an early night and the weekend tomorrow, woo hoo!

Just had to bake biscuits with son for cubs which is a bit tortuous, buttery smells all through the house.

I'm on my fourth fast day today & have to say I've struggled on this one .......
I was wondering, I last ate yesterday evening at 8pm & have only had water, coffee & a tangerine today, do you think this classes as a full day fast? Or should I stick to the 500cals for my tea tonight?? Confused if I'm fasting longer than I should be ??!!
Thanks

Think you might be a bit confused. You're on track for the day. It's a fast with a 500cal food allowance.

Knock off a wee bit for the tangerine and you're good to go.

Thank you BBT053!!...........Think the hunger must be getting to me today!!
Onwards and upwards!!
