The FastDay Forum

Fastig today for the 3rd time. Managed better on Mon. Had miso soup lunch time and bovril 4pm and I think that helped. My problem is the constant peeing.I find nights worst. 8 times mon night and still 3 times last night even though not fasting. Does this get better. Feeling sleep deprived at mo.

Also fasting today. My days are Mondays and Wednesdays, chosen because I go out to evening classes on these days, so if I get hungry I can't do anything about it (we don't have breaks). Days in between fasts essential to me now (been doing this over 7 months, up until Christmas did consecutive fast days). I really look forward to the day between fasts. Good luck.

Fasting today, for the 2nd time. Had my egg white scrambled egg on a little bit of rye bread for breakfast which does keep me going, and not decided if I am going to just have bovril or have soup at lunch, struggling with only 2 meals.

Tonight will be a big bowl of home-made soup I think, carrot & corriander.

People in the UK, where do you buy your miso from? I love miso soup so think this could be a good option for me at lunch times

Fasting today as usual, although today is a landmark fast - 20th Fast (in 10 weeks)

After going all day with just coffee and bovril, I plan to celebrate this event with a feast consisting of Mushroom risotto, refried beans with chilli and salad, and a HUGE pile of veg.. All for less than 500 calories.. I am salivating as I speak and with hours to go I'd better stop talking about it !

Malteserr, I feel the same, after a lovely (at the time) 3 course meal out last night I feel so bloated and full today think I am going to join you all for an extra fast.

Good luck everyone fasting today.

Vivbp....wow 8 times at night ? Unless you have a medical problem I would say that's far too many times. How much are you drinking on a fast day ?

Hi Bee. No I dint have a medical problem. I have Black coffee first thing. Water about 8.30 to take vits and painkillers (Knee injury) Ginger tea/Cinamon tea Miso soup Water Nd cammomile tea last thing to soothe me.

Perhaps someone who is knows more could advise you, I know it would drive me nuts to get up 8 times. Perhaps you could message Caroline or Moogie ?.....and hi

Going to try today! Meeting a friend at lunchtime so will try to stick to tea and make it to this evening before eating my allowance Will have to see how it goes, usually more determined but as it is only Wednesday, I feel like if it doesn't work today I have a buffer in Thursday.
Good luck all

Thanks Bee. I will do that but it will have to be later. Off to hairdressers now x

Vivbp: Could be from using up glycogen stores...converting glycogen to glucose releases a lot of water. That's why people see big weight drops in the first week which then goes back on as the glycogen stores are replaced. I imagine it will get better.

I am joining you today!!! This is my 2nd fast day. I am in the US so my day is just starting. Hopefully work won't be to stressful since that is what makes me want to eat. Good luck to you!!!!

Love this forum! It's so helpful!

10th fast in 5 weeks for me today, decided to forgo breakfast and lunch altogether and have a lovely prawn and rice stir fry for dinner. Thought I wouldn't be able to go all day without food but come lunch time I wasn't overly hungry so just thought - why not wait it out til dinner!!

Also fasting today, this is my 4th fast day and so far I have not really lost any weight (a pound fluctation only). I went totally overboard yesterday and felt bloated and fat, hopefully I will feel better at the end of today.
Today I had breakfast of porridge and coffee with skimmed milk and sweetner (177 calories), I will have a low calorie soup at lunch if hungry (65 cals) and then dinner of tofu and veg stirfry (250 cals) with lots of water and herbal tea along the way!

Hopefully I will see some difference next week.

Count me in too for today, fellow fasters. 2nd one this week so far - I need to compensate for the mid-size bag of Maltesers I ate all to myself at the cinema last night (Song for Marion - good film - take treats and hanky!!) May even stretch to a 3rd fast day on Friday - will see how it goes - Good luck everyone
