Looking to start this next week; however, I am on holiday with the kids.

I feel I could do one day during the week relatively straightforward, however 2 could be a push. From the 2nd week I will be going for it.

Anyone else started slower and does or work?

hi Hendyphilhendy and welcome to the forums!

you have to do what feels right for you and it means one fast a week to start with then go for it!
I have always done 2 fasts so I cant really offer more help, maybe someone else will be along soon 🙂

good luck with it!

Stef.

Welcome to the forum! As Angie says, you need to find what is right for you.

The problem with one day a week is that you very likely will not see a huge progress which can be demoralizing. From that point of view I would try to get a second day in if you can.

On the other hand, you have to tweak it your own liking as this is a long term committment and a way of life.

Good luck with it!
Stef.

Your first fast next week will give you an idea of what its like to fast, and I found it gets easier as have a lot of other fasters.
TBH with children around all day I would find it hard not to nibble with them!
Plan your weeks and how you are going to manage your fast(s) and go for it – nothing to lose but weight and so much to gain.

hi

Thanks for the advice and apologise for not replying sooner.
I opted not to start last week whilst on holiday as we were so busy! I am now doing my first day today and going ok so far. Dreading getting to tomorrow evening!

My wife started hers yesterday and is doing well but feels very hungry!
