Hi Carol! a positive attitude and approach helps a lot. I have a big appetite also but I find drinking a lot of water, black coffee and flavoured herbal teas helps, as well as chewing sugar free gum.
You can eat whatever you like on fast days as long it’s 500 calories for women and 600 for men (approximation for me). Eat protein and fat and fill up on leafy greens and veggies.
This is my first fasting day… Reading these forums when I am feeling hungry really helps!! I recently lost 26 pounds over a span of a year. I felt like the slow weight loss was super healthy; and, it stayed off easily. I did this with exercise and better food choices; however, that being said. I have recently made a big move in my life and my regime has gone topsy turvy… Going out on the weekends, eating more, and increasing my alcohol consumption has really affected my blood sugar. I have been fighting carb craving and not winning that battle very well which has resulted in a steady weight gain over the last 3 months of about 10 pounds. Which is really disappointing after having worked so hard to get down to my goal weight. So far on this first fast day I feel pretty good, just doing some calisthenics and stretching so I don’t feel too depleted. I decided to try this fasting type diet because I really think when you go into ketosis it not only eliminates the sugar craving but metabolizes your stored fat as well. Well, that is my hope anyway. So far I am not craving sugar but the banana sitting in front of me is starting to look really good:-) Looking forward to my healthy 500 calories worth of food in a few hours!!
