The FastDay Forum

Hi I'm new to the fast diet,i started last Monday with a fast day and Thursday was fast 2,today is fast 3 and going well.Feel encouraged by the posts on here and i'm not finding it too difficult up to now.I will be getting weighed on Friday so fingers crossed...

third fast for me - still not brave enough to forgo lunch but i only had a cup a soup and im not sure it was really of any benefit! Ive lost 2lb according to the scales - had two roast chicken dinners, two bottles of wine and a small chinese takeaway so cant be bad.

1St fast of week two, managed not to eat until 13.30pm, i have made some low calorie soup to last me until this evening, 200 cals before my tea tonight. all going well, feel less hungry today, think in future i will hold off eating until late as possible, as it has made me hungry and I wasn't before !!!

painting nails and watching a film this evening, less time to think about food (my normal nightly routine, I am trying to change this).

I had a mug of coffee for breakfast (s/s milk and sugar!), lunch was a big bowl of salad leaves, some cucumber and 5 fish sticks with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and a small squeeze (less than a desert spoon of it!!!)of hellmans mayo lite and tonight I am having a 100 gram fat trimmed off, steak (probably horse!!) grilled with green beans, leeks and broccoli and watch HIM have a baked potato then a Hartley's 10 calorie jelly. To be honest I am finding the fasting days easy on Monday as weekends are always over-indulgent !!..Weigh day tomorrow and have lost my tape measure.. Not shrinking but people say I look good and I feel great!!

Week 2 fast 3,lost 2lb last week.Sticking to same regime each fast day
serving of homemade Green Soup with 15mls Udos oil plus 1 hard boiled egg.
Dinner Green Soup again and 4oz grilled Pangasius
Hitting the Red Bush tea often and when in dire need, a slice of pickled beetroot

Perhaps I shouldn't speak too soon- but I am delighted I have decided on one meal(rather than my usual lunch and dinner) for today's fast. I was worried I would be slumped on my desk by now but I have plenty of energy and will be even happier come this evening when I can eat a substantial meal! Glad I listened to the suggestions on this forum.
Good luck to everyone for the hours that remain

Hi everyone, second fast for me today, I've had yoghurt for breakfast, tea, coffee x4, and a low calorie hot meal tonight, followed by highlights hot choc for my sanity!!!!
Hope it's going we'll for you all x

I'm fasting today and finding it a bit tougher than I have other recent fast days. Feeling really cold today. I've had a salad for lunch and just had a warming option hot chocolate. Soup for tea I think.

Hello all , 3rd fast for me today , nothing all day but an apple , homemade veg soup at 6 . Might try snorveys idea of a couple of weetabix and milk before bed and see if I can sleep better .

It's my first fasting day today and I've survived so far! Porridge for brunch with skimmed milk and water, followed by a strong black coffee and a couple of herb teas. I will enjoy my mushroom omelette and salad later for sure Hubby is fasting too, he wants a chicken breast with veg. Any fat free ideas on how to prepare said chicken? Suggestions most gratefully received. Good luck all

I'm fasting today too, managed 3 fasts last week and lost 2lbs so very happy. So fast day 4 for me and first one at work but there was so much to do that's its helped distract me. I save all my cals for my dinner but try to drink lots and lots. So far so good; we can do this!

Fasting today and Husband bought pack of hot cross buns for daughter's after school snack i.e. for himself as well. Had to leave the room whilst they ate. Was a bit cross TBH!

On week 3 so seventh fast day, not really losing much weight but have been over compensating on non-fast days and lots of wine at weekends - gonna start counting calories for 'feast' days next! Finding it cold and hard today!!

Satsuma and apple for lunch and am starving - looking forward to a pile of roasted veg with crushed chillies tonight !

No breakfast.

Small slice of homemade frittata with salad and cup a soup for lunch. 216 calories total. Cup a soup not really worth the 60 calories!!

Am very hungry now..........dinner will be a Heston burger for waitrose (244 cals) plus as much salad as I can muster for the remaining calories. Might make some sauteed mushrooms to top the burger with. No roll and no chips!!
