The FastDay Forum

Thank you bssh So far, I am fasting together with two other friends and one of my friend's husbands. There are also another couple of people on this forum from Saudi I think.

It's been a whopping 42 degrees here today. I only ventured out after sunset today and that was because I was cold with the a/c on. I could do with some hailstones.

Ha! The grass is always greener...!!

Lol. Very true redhead.

Well, I made it through my furst liquid fast. It's quarter to eight in the morning and I've still not eaten, but I will do soon I think.

What do you all do? Do you have an early breakfast or wait as long as possible for your first meal after the fast? I'm looking for the best approach to stop bingeing on my non fast days.

Good luck to anyone who is fasting today

Someone said they broke their fast with a banana, sounds like a nice option.
I have been eyeing off a pear which will have to wait until tomorrow

Yes, I usually have a banana first. Seem to remember being taught in school that we digest fruit more easily than any other food and I really like bananas. I've never really eaten breakfast - I just don't feel like food in the morning so I usually break my fast about midday. Doubt it matters much. If you usually have breakfast and are hungry, have something. Just don't go overboard because you'll feel ill. Stop long before you feel full on the first meal after a fast.

I have my usual breakfast of cheese & tomato ommlette, usually fairly early as soon as I get up, as I'm really hungry. I havent had any bad reaction to it so far, I've done 4 liquid only fasts.
