Today is my last day of a 4 day complete fast. No food, just water, 1 cup of tea and/or 1 cup of coffee for 4 consecutive days to kick off my 5:2 program. So far I’ve dropped 5 pounds and think it would be easier to abstain completely on the 2 fast days or at least no food on the new moon and full moon like the monks do. 🙂 Time will tell. Wish me luck!
