The FastDay Forum

I just started my first fast day yesterday, man it was tough but im so glad i stuck to it and i had the best sleep of my life!! I weigh 237lbs so im hopeing for some great results. Im from Canada and no one has realy heard of this here, everyone is telling me that your body actualy stores fat if it feels deprived of food, is this true?? Are there any other Canadians here??

Well you aren't going all that long without food. Yes, if you went a couple of days without eating anything, it could impact your metabolism. But the science appears to show that we haven't evolved much from our hunter-gatherer past where we ate when food was available, and went hungry until we downed another mastadon

There's lots of the science stuff in the "nerdy" part of forum.

Welcome to the forums!

ETA, I'm only a couple of hours from the Canadian border, does that count?

Hi Krista4bis,

I just started today and I weigh in at 242 and I used to live in Canada. I will think of you as on a parallel path.

My first fast day went well.

Good luck to both of us!
