Just drinking some rooibos tea while DS eats breakfast, listening to the chickens' "dawn chorus"...they are making a right old racket asking us to let them out.

Going to have a shower, then make a big pot of coffee to see me through to my "lunch" of vegetable stock.

Hope everyone else fasting today has a good one!

I'm fasting today too- out for coffee and those cupcakes looked good. Didn't even smell them though.
Lots of water now. Lunchtime here and feeling rather sleepy. Wish I could get this buzz of energy that others speak of.
Feel the need for peppermint tea with a slice of lemon.
Hope everyone fasting today manages and reaps the benefits .

Good luck to everyone fasting today, hope you have a great day! Tomorrow for me I think x

Good luck today fasters, did mine yesterday, feel great this morning

Black coffee & bovril day for me too today; I'm not at work, so there are no distractions from the rumbly-tum; The weather's not too bad here in the north-east so I may see if hubby wants to go out somewhere. All the best everyone x

Finding today a bit tougher than previous fasts. I think its because I've had 4 days off (last fast was last Thursday) and the appetite seems to creep back up with each feed day. Plus I think I may be getting DS's cold - he's been sneezing away all week

Just got over a vile cold when I wasn't terribly hungry anyway...but feeling rather peckish today too. Weather vile here in Luxembourg and we haven't got much nosh in. But having seen the Tarka Dahl recipe, I might give that a go.

Really hungry here too. Last fast was Sunday and don't think I ate enough yesterday. Rumbly, Rumbly and so tired.

It's difficult to know how much to have in between..

Hello! I'm new and this is my first proper fast day. I did do 2pm-2pm at the weekend, eating a 400 cal dinner, but this is my first full 36-hour day.

I am feeling OK so far and have had two cups of herbal tea this morning, and lots of water, and 30 cals of wafer-thin chicken to tide me over until, well, as late as possible. I have veggie frittata in the fridge.

Oooh, veggie frittata sounds lovely.

It's 220 cals a portion, with leeks, red pepper, chilli, garlic, spring onions and parmesan cheese. Mmm

I have to say, I am STARVING right now but it seems to come in waves so I'm going to make another cup of herbal tea, lemon and ginger this time.

I'm fasting today too! This is just my second week and third fast. Had breakfast at 06:45, consisting of mushrooms/onions/egg/green things omelette thingie... Is that the veggie frittata?

Drinking herbal teas and tap water most of the day, but had a black coffee at 11:00. Having a diet coke for lunch though. So far so good!

I'm fasting today too. I haven't eaten anything yet, I save my 500 cals for my evening meal. I am not feeling too bad, I get waves of hunger but a cup of hot water with lemon usually helps. I will be having meat free bolognese for dinner, can't wait!!
Good luck to all the other fasters today x
