The FastDay Forum

Hi.

I am new to this and this is my first day of fasting. I had oats, yoghurt and berries for breakfast and my cunning plan is to last now until dinner around 7pm. I am very used to eating quite constantly (hence the 3 stone I need to lose!) so am venturing into the unknown here and am quite nervous strangely enough.

I am feeling a little light headed and do have a history of copious amounts of fainting as a teenager but I will keep going as am really optimistic about the health benefits as well as the weight loss.

Good luck to us all!

Hi Claire & welcome Well done on starting 5:2, sounds like you have it planned out well and I hope the rest of your first day goes well! Remember to drink plenty of water

Thanks! My first day was a complete success. I found it actually not as bad as I expected and when it came time for dinner, I wasn't starving at all. It was a very nice surprise and I am now on day 2.

The other nice side effect was yesterday when I was out and about, I would normally grab anything to eat quite constantly during the day, but yesterday, I had much more control, made better choices and didn't feel the need to snack constantly.

Thanks, am feeling very optimistic about this!
