The FastDay Forum

Hi,

I read the book & now am jumping in. I started 4/1 & today is my first fast day. I decided to try this one without food only tea & water. So far, 14 hours without food, I'm not hungry at all. However, I'm dreaming of the left overs from last night

Looking forward to meeting folks,
Lynn

Let us know hoe your fast days go

Hi I am still quite new to this WOE been doing it 5 weeks ish
.. I have lost 10lb up to now.. I was wondering if someone could answer my question please.. every low calorie diet I have been on I am supposed to eat around 1250 calories per day to lose 1-2lb per week, my TDEE calculation is 1800 per day I have worked out that if I am eating that amount and fasting 2 days my calorie intake for the week is over 1250 per day, if I calculated it correctly maths not my best subject... so I am wondering how can I lose weight if eating more than 1250 that they say you need to eat to lose weight... I am a bit confused now and worried I am eating too much ..

Scarlett I may be wrong and I am new to this! I was under the impression that you can eat those 1800 cals if you want to a day and with the fast days you are saving on calories so that is where the weightloss comes from. And from what I have read the longer you do it, you will naturally reduce your calorie intake and make healthier choices! I am not sure if that makes sense!? I am on my first fast day! am having food though but no more than 500 cals! Good luck xx

Thanks Vickie I am easily confused I wonder how I can lose weight if I am having more than 1250 a day over the week, as with the fast days still comes to more. oh well have lost so must be ok.. good luck on your first fast day, I am fasting today too just coffee water and green tea till evening meal around 7 then a big stir fry with mushrooms and some yoghurt or fruit after.. I find just eating one meal at evening best for me as once I eat I am hungry all day if get hunger pangs late afternoon usually have an oxo drink... you can do it first day the hardest. good luck xx
