The FastDay Forum

And then you throw fasting into the pot. Which means your body has gone into overdrive and won't let you sleep because breakfast may just walk past.

I take 5HTP to help with sleep. Vitamin D in the morning too.

Mmm, nuts, love nuts. Not sure they'll go well with a cup of cocoa though...perhaps a mulled wine would be best (for medicinal purposes of course)

Is it almonds or brazil nuts that are high in magnesium?

I'm coming in here for a bit...forgot to take my magnesium until just before bed...supposed to be 2 hours before...so I might be here a while! I do think the magnesium, plus taking vitamin d in the morning helps.

While you were all watching that diet programme, I was watching Nicholas Cage in a film called Next. It was quite gripping hence I forgot to take the tablets.



Any virtual nibbles/drinks available?

Caroi am deffo buying some magnesium..already got the vit D..my doc put me on a massive dose of it coz was so deficient..said i'd have rickets if been living in Victorian times..
This could be the answer to my sleepless prayers..thank you ,you can have all the nibbles you want x

Me too

Ag, where did my answer go?
Anyway, tired from all that hammering of pegs and sorting of guys....
Your queue, ladies.....

A quick google and it says that pumpkin seeds have 53mg of magnesium for every 10g portion.

Go to sleep? Two mins Ago you were hammering tent pegs now youre throwing us out of the Tent?
Ps meant Horlicks not Lucks x

Hor lucks @candicemarie sounds an entirely different proposition. BTW I wish you had a shorter name!!

Hmmm maybe i could shorten it to Candy..but hang on your name is four syllables long too..and two capital letters..maybe moogie would let us just be Penny and Candy but without losing our stripes / rejoining or anything.

Recommended dose is 300mg+ so that's quite a lot of pumpkin seeds! Not impossible though. How many cals in 60g pumpkin seeds Julie?

325 cals in 60g..248 of which are from fat x

Think I'll stick to taking tablets then! I'm not that keen on pumpkin seeds that I'll expend 300 cals on them!
