The FastDay Forum

Its been my first proper fast day today, and I've managed to do it, so I'm feeling pleased now. I had one meal at 6pm of tuscan soup, a crumpet, and a sugar free jelly, and I feel very full now! I think that I did find it easier to fast throughout the day, rather than having little meals like I did last week when I had a trial run, so will probably try one meal again next time.

Looking forward to pancake day tomorrow and another fast day on Wednesday.

yep my fast today 2nd week try and do tomoz aswell children off next week so a bit worried how to stick to fast days .

Second week for me too, to put off eating until lunch time I spring cleaned my living and dining room, bonus - getting slim and a very clean house
Looking forward to breakfast though!

I feel guilty about how much I loved reading that exercise article Cuddly! Anything to find an excuse to not exercise >.< I really need to get off my butt more often.

ha ha Tracieknits ! me too. It was such a releif to find that I didnt need to sweat needlessly in a gymn in order to lose weight. I actually enioy walking and dont look on it as 'excercise' as such.
A bit OT but have I seen you on Ravelry ??

Well done everyone, you're doing great. My tummy's playing tunes and wanting to be filled but it won't get any for another hour, so there! I Am trying to stick with the 24 hour fast and no carbs on fast days, that's 500 cals tops in 36 hours too. Surely has got to be good? Trouble is my body has decided to hang on to every morsel that comes it's way in case no more does, giving me constipation, sorry if that's too much info! Anyone got any ideas to cure this please?

eat plenty of good fats on non fast days.it works for me.Coconut oil, butter. Cod liver oil and drink plenty.
Funnily enough I havnt had this problem since starting fasting but I did on strict low carb.
Maybe check out the theory behind this

a stool works just as well !

Thanks for those links cuddly, really interesting! Expect I shall read a bit more on the ifasters site at some point!

Hi Moogie, I spent some time on this web site and have picked up one or two ideas. The more you read the more you learn.

Third day fasting is over! Had a big bowl of veg soup and an apple for dinner.
Marigold organic bouillon (10 cal per serving) got me through the morning. Love it!
Played badminton and jogged for 30 min.

Pancake day tomorrow!
