The FastDay Forum

I'm on my fourth fast day today & have to say I've struggled on this one .......
I was wondering, I last ate yesterday evening at 8pm & have only had water, coffee & a tangerine today, do you think this classes as a full day fast? Or should I stick to the 500cals for my tea tonight?? Confused if I'm fasting longer than I should be ??!!
Thanks

Hi, no it sounds like you're doing what most of us are doing, which ends up being about 36 hours on 500 cal when you include the two sleeps. From what I understand, there are probably more benefits from going without eathing for a lengthy period, so saving most of the 500 cal until the evening means we're also doing a 24 hour nearly full-on fast within this 35 hour stretch. Sometimes it feels more like a struggle... today was my 8th, and I definitely felt a bit wobbly. Maybe lack of water. Good luck!

Hi Emm,

Thanks for your response, sorry haven't replied sooner! I got over my wobble and am looking forward to my fast tomorrow, huge roast dinner this evening, although have to say didn't much fancy the roast potatoes which is a first!! Onwards and upwards!!
Good luck to you too!

Oh Torbay - been there, done that!! Some fast days are definitely harder than others. Glad you got over the hump, and I agree with everything Emm said
