The FastDay Forum

Fasting today - two cups of coffee so far today & in the process of making a 30-calorie-a-serving veggie soup (as I forgot to buy any CuppaSoups this week!) It smells quite good - so I hope it will be satisfying.

Dinner will be Cajun chicken kebabs, huge salad and a mini-pitabread. I'm looking forward to it!

Hi

I'm fasting today, although this week for me is a bit of a 'trial run' of the diet as I'm on holiday next week. I just couldn't wait to get started. I fasted first on weds and felt fine but yesterday felt terrible - had headaches & lethargy & just wanted to eat sweet carby stuff but also not eat as well. It could be because it was very warm & I walked a lot but I did try to keep hydrated.

So today I'm not planning to eat until about 2 but am not going to force it if I don't feel good - I rule this diet, it does not rule me! And I'll be back on it the week after next.

Fasting today water and less than 500 cals. then monthly weighing tomorrow....This is now my weigh (pun) of life. I HATE the end of the week fast but LOVE the monday one but I am fat so I have got to do it and stop being grumpy about it. Fasting will be so much easier when the weather warms up as it is very difficult when you are cold!! Good luck everybody just do it and enjoy the clean feeling tomorrow morning!!

4th day of fasting and I am finding today much easier than the previous 3 fasts. I simply tell myself that tomorrow I can eat normally. Also I did not get the mild headache that I had on the evening of the previous 3 fast days

I'm fasting too! 3rd time this week and then it's Easter weekend!
Good luck to all fellow fasters!!!

Hello, fast number six for me. Unfortunately, woke up starving Just hoping I'm not going to end up with the mahoosive headache this evening that I've had 4 out of 5 fast days so far... Good luck to everyone fasting today

Fasting 3rd day this week, or 4/3 as some call it. Did not lose weight, but DID NOT GAIN weight either, so that is very satisfying. I am choosing to dwell on the positive. Going out for breakfast in the morning, something to look forward to as I fast today. Cup of homemade chili and 1/2 cup Greek yogurt for my 500 calories today. I do have a 5 calorie cup of chicken bouillon at lunchtime as it helps to bolster me until suppertime. TML13, you and I have been on this much similar time as I started March 7th. I am now doing 5/2 fast one week, then 4/3 fast alternate week, hoping to lose more weight/inches. I have lost total of 8 inches since beginning fasting. So glad I took my measurements before I started as sometimes I lose inches but no weight. Would recommend to any new fasters to take bust/waist/hips/neck measurements.

Hi all,

this is my first week on 5:2 diet and my second fast day so far so good, looking forward to having a look around the forums at other peoples tips and recipes. my sisters wedding is in 6 weeks so its motivating me to do the 5;2

Today wasn't my planned fast day but I fell off the wagon on Wednesday so I'm trying for today instead! It's only my 4th fast day today, so I am relatively new to this. I'm going to try to make it until tonight to eat but I have a cup of soup here at work in case I need it. I will be successful today!!!

It's my 1st fast day today.....

Its funny, if I wasn't 'officially' fasting I wouldn't even be thinking about food at this time of morning, so why is it I want to eat the entire contents of my fridge right now and it's only 9.23!!?

Mind over matter......mind over matter.....mind over matter

This made me laugh! I am the same way, no issues on a normal day but once I know I can't eat makes me want to more. Our mind is obviously very involved with this hunger thing! lol

Fasting today too - my 13th fasting day, doing great without hunger at all

Enjoy your weekend everyone

Hello everybody!
my first post here, great forum, plenty of useful information!
this is my second fast, it wasn't bad in the morning, but it's getting harder now...but I still have same 200 calories left for last meal, planned for about 8 pm.
Good luck to everyone fasting today!

We are in also as this is our 3rd fast of the week ! We are trying 4:3 as we are feeling so good on our fast days but also know that there really isn't much different in weight loss. We just wanted to try it and see. Good luck out there everybody ! It definitely gets easier

I'm on board as well. Halfway through, just eating my 140 cal soup for lunch. Dinner is grilled chicken 4oz w Kale sauteed in coconut oil garlic and onions. It hasn't been a bad day at all.

My first fast day.

I'm interested in exploring the 4:3 after vacation. In 2 weeks I might rotate a 4:3 one week and a 5:2 the next. I love the flexibility of the plan.
