Welcome aboard and fasting gets a lot easier the longer you are on the diet…in fact I look forward to my fast days now. Good luck Elaine 🙂

Welcome, welcome!!
I am in my fourth week now, and while I had breakfast on my first fast, I then worked out that it is easier for me to eat later. It is now almost 4pm, and while my stomach has been growling all day (I have been rather enjoying it!!), I don’t actually feel hungry. Well, maybe I feel hungry but am finding it easy to ignore. As soon as I eat though I won’t be able to stop thinking about food. Maybe you could try having your breakfast later, or having a protein based breakfast like a vege omlet instead? Eating carbohydrate for breakfast definitely keeps my mind on food, makes me hungrier, and leaves me tired in the afternoons, but of course everyone responds differently 🙂

Good luck!!

Well, it does get easier thankfully! Having people comment on my weight loss (in particular a fellow who didn’t know I was trying) is good motivation. It’s the longest I have managed to ever stick to an improvement in my eating so I’m pretty optimistic at this stage.
Hopefully your next fast day is a bit easier!!

Hey Elaine! Haha you say now that you’re not sure you can do without breakfast… just you wait 😉 I find it a lot easier to fast during the day and sleep at night, so I now have daily 22-23 hours fasts and only eat at night. And I feel fine. In the beginning it was annoying as I actually got stomach aches when I did eat, but finally my body gave up resisting and realized it felt fine!

I just now saw what I posted… “sleep at night” should be “fast during the day and eat at night” of course. Oh, funny fingers you.
