The FastDay Forum

Today is my second fast day (started on Wednesday). Had breakfast and am waiting for hubby to get home from work so that we can have dinner. Feeling good and not too hungry

Hi everyone, I will join you. I'm fasting today too. My fast days used to be on Mondays and Wednesdays, but my husband is now doing this along with me. Fridays and Sundays work best for him, so I'm switching to those days as well.

Abbey, I like your signature " Fasting mainly on Mondays and Thursdays - but isn't it great we can choose!?"

Amen!

Second one of the week for me - usually thursday but in advance I fancied dinner at the hotel last night more than I fancied a full English so it was easier to swap days for this week.

Nearly 7:30 pm and I've only had two cups of tea so far, very happy with that.
Gonna have a filling bean burger in an hour fast 11 for me.

Just had my dinner for the fast day of grilled chicken breast and veg.....could only eat half, was soo full

Hello fasting today 2nd time, I've only had 400 cals, what shall I do?

Bean burger??? How do you do that?

Just finishing my first fast day in over a month(!) - not done it for a while for various reasons. Ate nothing till teatime, but had loads of water, tea, black coffee etc. Then had a bit of quiche and savoury rice, which may have busted my 500 cal limit!
I don't find I feel hungry exactly, but after several hours I find it much harder to concentrate on my work (I work in Finance), so really have to focus so that mistakes don't creep in.
Anyone got any tips for overcoming the apparent drop in sugar levels please?

I bought them from the shop
But I think they are made by mixing boiled beans and corn with boiled potato and breadcrumbs which is then shaped into a patty and grilled.
It's a tex-mex recipe I think, very delicious
