The FastDay Forum

Hello tracydoodah
Welcome to 5:2ing. You need to work out your TDEE for your daily calorie needs & there are links in the new to 5:2 section for websites to go to. I hope your day went well & now it is 5-30 I am starting to also feel rumbly. I am looking forward to eating my supper from M&S fuller longer range which is Duck & Pork Pappardelle only 340 calories & I will add some steamed asparagus.

I'm fasting today, and wondered from the off if it was such a good idea. Somehow seemed to have got out of bed on the wrong side, and the commute in this morning was a real struggle!

Fortunately, the fasting is not the problem, and several cups of tea later I am feeling more human. Off to Pilates for the first time in ages (my block of classes ran out, and so did my money, so this is a treat!).

Hope everyone else is having a good fast day.

Nothing so far. 2 more hours then I'll have supper. Nom nom nom

Just completed my 3rd fast. I had planned to have an omelette for dinner but friends invited us out for a drink and mezze (cocktail size). The wine and beer flowed and the dishes came and were replenished, but I was very good and had a Turkish coffee, a piece of thin pita bread about the size of my hand and 2tbs of hummus. No one queried what I ate or drank and it was a lovely evening.

I've been fasting today too. After four days off as went to visit family for the weekend! All gone well except I had a slight dilemma as I had to order a sandwich from a deli for dinner so not sure I have stuck to the 500 calories that strictly.. Nothing all day until dinner at 5pm. I had wholemeal bread sandwich with turkey salad- but I did have butter and then I've had a few grapes and bits of pineapple. Doubt that I've gone much over 600 so not too bad!!

well done everyone for today.

Ooops very late to this, but have undertaken by 4th Fasted today, gone well without anguish, though tummy rumbling now this minute but got to decide whether to have another green tea and be up in the night or just let it grumble and hope I will fall asleep !

Hope everyone has had a good Fast today and I will be back on Thursday.

Nope, didn't manage it today after all, had some bread and bovril around lunchtime, a healthy meal this evening and a low calorie hot chocolate before bed. So no too bad, well except for the chocolate I had this afternoon
Like Peppercorn I will see you on Thursday.
