It takes time for the brain to catch up with this new way of eating, so don’t panic.
I always have a treat after a fast day, but just one. Usually an Almond Croissant from a local bakery. That way I feel that I have a reward….and I only have ONE.It seems to satisfy the brain and the stomach!
I’ve still lost 23 lb and now 23″………since January.
If you average it out it is less than lb a week. Some weeks I’ve lost 2 lb, others have put it on and some never lost any weight. But the point is that I have kept shrinking.
If it is cheese then chose something that you really like, one portion and sit down without the tv on etc……and savour every mouthful.
I have lost 4 lb off both my waist and my hips….is that enough of an incentive?
Try it and see. I noticed that as the weeks went by the food that I craved on a fast day had less of a strangle hold on me as the weeks went by.
Let us know how it goes.
The day after my 2nd or 3rd fast day I pigged out at breakfast and instantly regretted it! I felt over full and bloated for ages afterwards. I have since learned to control my initial craving to stuff my face and just have a light breakfast the day after a fast and I feel better able to control my food intake for the rest of the day then. Good luck with the restart, I hope it goes well for you.
I don’t like breakfast so for me I can go most of the day without eating so on a fast day I just drink water all day and eat at about 7:30pm.
Then on a feast day I have a HM wholemeal roll and ham and salad at about 2pm and then an evening meal at about 7:30/8pm.
My problem is boredom and a sweet tooth so I drink diluted squash on a feast day instead of water and I am also counting my calories on feast days because I know how easy it is to overeat for me.
Hi ChrissieinBrittany, I have lost 3lbs in 2 weeks and I am halfway through my third week.
I only weigh on a Sunday with my BF (obviously not at the same time) as it is an old habit from weight watchers, I know I can do it if I put my mind to it and it is definitely better than WW as you really can have what you want the day after a fast.

“Oddly enough I can look at a croissant or chocolate and laugh at it and walk by. ”
Interestingly, in our downtown Chicago, there is a chocolate factory, Blommer.
On special days, with a special wind, the chocolate scent will permeate in the air. Sometimes, it’s in the morning and sometimes it’s in the evening. I don’t think anyone outside of the factory really knows when that chocolate scent will be in the air.
It was in the air last Saturday evening as we went to a play nearby.
I don’t know how many people really appreciate that chocolate smell. We commented on it for the sake of our visitor friends, smiled, and walked on.
I certainly have always appreciated this unique and surprising scent to our city.
Later, I would notice people enjoying their snacks during intermission.
I wondered how much of that snacking had been stimulated by the scents outside.
Our free chocolate smells.
