The FastDay Forum

Monday and Thursday work best for me based on my work schedule. Weekends are impossible.

From April till beginning of July I was doing Monday/Wednesday/Friday 4:3) every week, but the last month 5:2, so mondays and fridays now..

This WOE is SO flexible . Love it!!!!!

Always do a Monday-get 1 of the days out the way straight away and try to do a Wednesday as tend to do classes Tues and Thurs.

A Saturday or a Sunday are complete non starter for me - too much time to think about food!!

Today is my first day and I figured Mondays (since they are terrible anyway) and Thursdays (so I can look forward to Fridays and the weekend!) would be the easiest. So glad they are the most popular days and I definitely don't feel alone now!

I just started this week and Monday was a no brainer for me, I like to feel that I have a fresh start every week I am not that sure about my second fast day but I think Thursday should work for me to spread the 2 days as much as possible without touching the weekends that would be impossible for me

Exactly my idea, Iztla! Monday is obvious, Thursday is logical, Wednesday is a subsitute if I have some celebration or drink on Thursday.

We live in Abu Dhabi and our week starts on a Sunday, so Sundays and Wednesday for me working quite well, as its either side of the weekend (which is Friday/ Saturday here) x

I've found Mondays and Thursdays work best for me so far. I think it's because it gives me at last two days off in between.

Hi after reading the book I also chose to do Monday & Thursday's these days seem to fit in well just after weekend and just before a weekend!

I almost always fast on Fridays because I lecture at a college 6 hours non-stop followed by a busy office hour. By the time I've prepped for the classes, taught them, visited with students afterward, and gotten home, the day is over and it goes quickly! The other day I have to vary since I'm a freelance performing artist and my schedule is anything but regular.

I find that for me it's a fine line between keeping busy on fast days and needing to be on my game to perform. I have to choose carefully -- no fasting on dress rehearsal or performance days!

Welcome to the forum NermieD! Perhaps if you copied your post into a new post in the Introduce Yourself section more would see it and give you a proper greeting?

I started off having today as a fast day but guessing my roast was probably over 500cals so am now going to have Tues and Thurs this week, its usually a Thursday and either a Mon or Tues , a Sunday if I have overindulged Fri and Sat and save all my cals for dinner

I am a complete newbie. Planning to start tomorrow but also like to start the week with a 10k run which I normally do 3 times a week - 4 on a good week. I usually don't feel hungry after a run but am concerned about how hungry I will be if I run in the evening after work. Does anyone have experience of this or an opinion?

Not a runner myself @cwalsh but you'll find lots of advice about running and fasting over in the exercise section of the forum. I think some folk find the morning after a fast is the hardest time to do intensive exercise as glycogen stores are low but everyone's different!

Welcome by the way...

Thank you carorees for the info. Might run tomorrow evening and perhaps weights on Tuesday. Thanks for the support am feeling nervous about tomorrow.
