Hi there! I, too, experienced my first fast day and found it remarkably easy. I managed to do my yoga and walk my dogs with no problems. The most impressive thing I found was that I managed to answer several questions on university challenge…so it’s great for my little grey cells!!

Hope your next fast day is equally as good 🙂

Have you got your meals planned?!

Hi there, this is my first week too and I have just finished my second fast day – unfortunately due to dinner and weekend commitments this week I had to do 2 consecutive days, but hey, I’m still alive!! I entertained the 4:3 fast but I’ve decided to do the 5:2 and have fast days on Tuesday and Thursdays. I didn’t eat anything during the days, except bucket loads of water, green tea and a miso soup at lunchtimes and then I had a delicious 500 cal meal each night, salmon one night, chicken the other and plate full of veges/salad! I actually enjoyed planning and fine tuning my dinner meal during the day. It’s been much easier than I thought it would be, especially when I realised I would have to do 2 consecutive days, I would be interested to know if it gets harder or are those first few days always the worst? I will certainly plan better in future to avoid consecutive days. Good luck everyone! Nads 🙂

Awesome TC, thanks. I’m just having another read of the forums in preparation for tomorrow’s fast day 🙂 Have also just finished the book which was an excellent read!
