The FastDay Forum

My first post. Also fasting today. My third week and it is going well. I had no idea what ANZAC Day was but looked it up. Sounds like Memorial Day in the States which is the end of May. Very nice to learn about something besides fasting on this site.
Good luck with the fast today!

I'm in today, even managed to last until 1pm so may one day just have the one meal.

Have now eaten dinner so nothing till breakfast.

I'm fasting today too, been quiet a good day and out singoing tonight, hope this is a sign of things to come. Good luck everyone

Started off green tea with ginger today--still morning hours here...just realized I have migrated to a 22 hr fast on my fast days with no meal until evening. Works for me and I like the burn feeling I get during my workout.
6 pages of comments tells me there are a multitude of fasters today (or were since your fasting day is probably drawing to a close). Don't have time to read everyone though. Bonne chance!

I am fasting today. I didn't have anything but coffee, water, and tea until 1pm, and then I had 100 calories worth of almonds. I am finding that I am VERY sleepy now! I just want to take a nap. This is only my 3rd fast day so I am still learning what goes along with them.

Yes I am fasting today. This is my fourth fast and tbh I am still finding it as tough as the first fast. With three small children I'm not sure how sustainable the diet is going to be for me. I tend to get cranky and impatient when I'm hungry. Am going to do a search on previous posts for any tips other parents may have. I do want this to work, I just have to hang in there I guess.

Fast day for me. I had a long time between fasts this time (must have been 6 days) and I was ready for a break for feast days! I have had porridge about midday and then a big bowl of salad with a boiled egg and slice of ham. That will be me done now unless I really need an oatcake in the evening I am going to get my bloods checked in a few weeks (just cholesterol) so that will be interesting. Found fasting easy today. I think TBH when I was younger I really struggled with a vomit phobia and used to fast as I was too scared to eat. I am sure my body has 'remembered' this as I don't really struggle to fast, for me it is harder to stay in my limit on 'feast' days. Having said that I am not wanting to increase my fast days lol.

A funny old day in general terms but a very successful Fast day, I made it to dinner time, with just one "emergency" sugar-free Werthers. Now full of Prawn salad, but with enough cals left for a bedtime treat of Options

I'm in. I had forgotten it was ANZAC day (Aussie living in Athens Georgia USA) so that was unpatriotic of me. Glad to hear it is raining in some places in Australia - thats traditional for Anzac day.

On my 6th fast today. I weigh on Sunday mornings (makes me behave a bit better over the weekend when I am want to hit the red wine, cheese and other good stuff) and am down 5 lbs in the first 2 weeks. I think I have lost a bit more since then but wont jump on the scales until Sunday.

Eating an Indian Kale and chickpea dish tonight (link below - it is 202 calories per serving).

Best to all the fasters on today.

Allan.

Completed - whoohoo! I may eat my words on the next one ....but this fasting malarkey seems to be getting easier! x

Nearing the end of a fast day. I know I went over my 500kcals. Had to have an elderly ill cat put down yesterday and did some comfort eating last evening and now today. I'm hoping to be back on track Saturday when I'm fitting in an extra fast day this week.

Just finished my meal. I made a mushroom omelet and added 50 cals of cheese and had it between two low carb tortillas (45 cals each). Have enough calories left for a couple cuties (California Mandarins) 35 cals each. Good day.
