My first fasting day has gone well. Yes I’ve eaten non-processed foods, apart from rolled oats! I thought black coffee would be awful, but in fact it was fine. No headache which has surprised me, but I have had lots of water. Some tummy rumbles mid afternoon, but I prefer them to the over-stuffed feeling I usually have, and they soon passed. One day down, many more to go, but being so strict for just one day hasn’t been as hard as I feared. I’m sure I’ll appreciate tomorrow’s food even more than usual. Hoping that now I know I can get through a day on so few calories, I won’t feel the need to consume as much as I used to on non-fasting days.
Thanks for the encouragement.
