The FastDay Forum

I'm fasting today. A very cold dark morning here. A busy day at work coming up so hopefully I won't have time to feel hungry. Anybody else fasting today?

Not this week -we are off on holiday!

Sunday evening here in SA, I fasted on Friday, but was really awful Sat, and today Tomorrow is another fast day for me, and as Friday was my first, I am a little put off, as I just cannot see this working? Have you been on it long. Any advice?

Have a great time

I'm starting tomorrow 1st July too. I'm working til 5 , so decided, I won't eat breakfast, will eat lunch and dinner. Xx

I'm fasting too. It will be my 3rd fast. Hope I will find it as easy as last week! No breakfast or lunch, just drinks. Then miso soup 2pm. Light snack at 4.30 & the rest for dinner.
Good luck everyone!

Hi Ole Gal and welcome to the forums!

My biggest advice for a fast day is PLAN. Planning out what I'm going to eat, and making sure I've got it on hand the night before is a huge help. Having to go to the grocery store or market on a fast day is no fun at all!

Hello everyone
I'll be joining you in the morning. Think I need a good day after my weekend of not thinking about what I was eating!

Off to bed now but it will be Monday when I wake up and I will be joining you. Have had one of those days where I've stuffed my face so need to be good tomorrow good luck everyone x

Is that the sun I see? Almost forgot what it looked like. So a sunny fast day at last. Enjoy fasting everyone.

Off to bed soon as well, also fasting when I wake up. I've had a box of chocolates in the fridge that I've been dipping into for the last two days, although when I checked the calories for the day I was shocked to find that I was still below my TDEE.

Ole Gal, make a new post asking for help in a different forum. You will get plenty of encouragement and help, or PM me if you want to natter to an older generation person.

Very dark and cold here this morning but starting the working week off with a fast day I have no idea what to eat later on today so green tea and water until I figure it out.
Welcome ole gal like tracie said plan your day and diet low cal jelly was a god send in those first few fast days for me I can recommend peach & white tea one great for mid afternoon pick me up.
good luck today fasters

I've already started with 2 black coffees down. Hope its not too hard.

I'm fasting today, once I've had a much too short night's sleep. I shouldn't still be awake right now.

I'm looking forward to fasting and to going running, which is a treat I save for fast days. I wish I could alternate day fast, but it doesn't work socially, so instead I use the weekends to eat with abandon and build up anticipation for my fasts. Tomorrow/later today I am going to have a bullet proof coffee instead of a glass of milk, for science! Then in the evening my usual green smoothie of whatever interesting leaves I find lurking in the fridge. I'm thinking it'll be parsley, radish top and lettuce, with the juice of a bergamot to balance the bitterness.

I'm in today. My 2nd day of not eating anything until dinner time. I'm having a coffee, with a dash of milk. And then nothing more until dinner. I'll have red lentils with pumpkin for dinner. Delicious Magazine, Jill Dupleix. Page 122. It's the recipe for red lentil dahl with sweet potato. We don't have sweet potato but I have a supply of home grown pumpkins in the storecupboard and I like to be a locavor.
