:-( Sadly my weight has gone up even though I'm doing just the same fast days and keeping feast days to around 1600 cals. Boo.

Try adding an extra fast day.

So, another fast day coming to the end. Lots of coffee today, an apple for lunch and then a stir fry and a tin of tuna for tea. I've just had a slice of toast to keep the hunger pangs at bay so I'm now nearing my 500 calories. I think I'll have an earlyish night tonight so I'm up nice and early for breakfast .
Hope everyone else's day was ok?

Third fast day today. Had some watermelon and made a lovely brocolli and cauliflower soup with homemade veggie stock. It was delicious and only 37 calories a cup!

Enjoyed the last of it this evening with three Ryvita (only 35 cals each!).

Soup and fruit is definitely my best way to fast.

only problem is I have a bit of diarrhoea as I'm not really eating carbs on my fast days. Anyone else get this?

I had this on a couple of occasions, both times it was in the evening, a couple of hours after eating my main meal, it was almost as if my digestive system was in shock after going all day with very little food! I actually wondered if it was down to the artificial sweetener in the flavoured water I had been drinking, I am trying to stick to plain water now and haven't had a problem since.

Hello everyone! Just coming to the end of my 9th fast day. Not too bad today, I was very busy and didn't really get the hunger pangs I have in the past. Managed to keep a few calories for a hot drink tonight only 40 calories. It was a bit sweet for me but seem to hit the spot.

I have decided not to worry about the tiny weight loss on Saturday and plough on. I have a way to go and won't give up at the first disappointment. The funny thing is, I look thinner in the face and around the midriff so something is definately happening and my weight hasn't been this low for nearly 20 years. I think I am just impatient and I want it gone.

Well done everyone and good luck to tomorrow's fasters:T

Had a vegan mushroom stroganof with shredded steamed cabbage instead of noodles for tea so I have a little left to play with.

In bed and completed my 4th fast day ... Kept busy - cup a soup for lunch and stir fry for tea .... Looking forward to my breakfast tomorrow - mmmm

Had far less calories than I intended as my oven has died (hob and all...) My delicious teriyaki beef stir-fry is sat in the fridge uncooked. Looks like another cup of tea will have to substitute...

Just had my breakfast. Very hungry today so there was no way I could tag it out until lunchtime.
Having thought on this subject further, it does seem to me that I have been doing a form of this fasting for years anyway. I remember BiL saying that he had never been so hungry and that he doesn't really tend to get hungry. I do so perhaps was IF all along?
Sorry to hear about your oven tea, hope you get it fixed soon or it could be a long fast for you...

Did under 500 Cals yesterday and woke up this morning still not hungry. Fasting again on Friday - would have been Thursday but I am working at a bye election and there is no way I could fast doing that or not have one (strong) drink when I get home afterwards.
