The FastDay Forum

Hi there. I'm new to the forum but have been fasting for a number of years.
I have been at my target weight for over three years after having lost seven stone by various means.

welcome Ocean....any tips or advice you would like to share for those of us just starting on our journey????

ooops...encouraging to hear !! lol....really should check my spelling and grammar before I hit submit!!

Thank you for the welcome.

I think my main tips are

Have patience
Don't make too many extra rules for yourself.
Don't be too rigid about your fast days, be a bit flexible.

I usually fast on Monday and Tuesday, the consecutive days suit me best. I use my calories in various ways, sometimes several small meals spread out, sometimes two smaller meals.
On fast days I avoid carbs as much as possible and have more protein.
