Hello, Lynn (foodturtle) – I hope you’re finding your way through now and feel more confident about what to do. Planning in advance seems to be a good idea – what days are best for fasting, when to go (or not go) food shopping, what to buy, what to eat (for both fasting and non-fasting days), how best to distract yourself if hungry, etc, etc. Enjoy discovering the best methods for your own unique situation.
