The FastDay Forum

Hi

I started my first fast day yesdterday and managed it no problem, I had 2 scrambled eggs for breakfast, then in the evening had a salad with butterbeans soaked in balsamic/garlic/smidge of olive oil/ chili. Sadly I had a litte bit of a headache by the time i got to 7 which progressively got worse, but i generally do get migraines if i dont eat regularaly, I presume this will change when my body gets used to it. I was also violently sick and had to rush to the loo as soon as I had finished my dinner, I put this down to a bug which had been doing the rounds at work, just very unfortunately i got it on my first fast day! Or possibly a migraine, but I will try another fast this week to make sure it was just the bug, but I made it through the fast and was absolutely today, I cant believe I wasnt really hungry all day!

Hi sphynxcat and welcome!

Sorry to hear that you were so unwell on your first fast day. Some people have found that they have headaches on fast days for the first few weeks, but that they get easier as the body adjusts to fasting.

Hope you feel better soon, well done on your 1st fast day even if you were poorly x

thank you;) I think the health benefits are definately worth me continuing rather than just giving up. I drank lots of water and green tea, so will try again on a day where i am not at work and can go to bed early
