Morning All!

My First Fast day today, so heres hoping I get it right.The plan is :-

green tea with lemon all morning (busy with hydro at hosp)

a satsuma? for an afternoon snack, then a small bit of chicken with some salad leaves and a few cherry toms for tea.

does this sound ok? good luck to everyone else today

If you can keep going on it it's OK, everyone can do what suits them on this so long as you stay on target on your fast days. Today I had an apple for breakfast, 3 silverskin onions for a snack and I will have a huge mixed veg dish with zero noodles (Horrid and !!!!!! have them back in stock) for tea after work, black tea and water whenever I want all day.

Good morning fellow fasters, having eaten a good low protein dinner last night fasting should be easier today they say. No carbs today, haddock and stir fry for dinner after 6pm. By no carbs I mean grain-based foods, the caveman way. Interesting reading online for paleo diet recommended, though I don't follow all it's wisdom religiously. Good luck everyone. :0)

Morning All - FD today. Had roast dinner quite late last night & not eaten so far as I'm still digesting!! Going to keep busy & last out as long as I can & then have something very light - not sure what yet.
Good Luck all

Good afternoon all. Just discovered this thread yesterday and rather than pile straight in I thought I would read all the posts, but it's a bit longer than I thought it would be. :eek:

I have been doing the 5:2 Diet since last August and have been posting my experiences on another site. I have thoroughly enjoyed this although I have to say that this site has a lot more interest.

I hope to post when I've read what folks have got to say.

Afternoon everyone. Another faster here today -Monday seems popular. I will do Wednesday this week instead of Thursday as going I'm away. However I plan to be good and have 2 more fast days while I'm away. That's the idea anyway.

Had my usual breakfast today and only water since. I am making a stirfry with some Cod for Dinner and will manage to fit in some fresh Pineappple for after (pud is always a bonus). That should leave me with 40 calories for a drink before bedtime.

Keep going today's fasters! You are all amazing!

Fast day for me today as well! St. Paddy's day yesterday meant eating dreadfully and drinking far too much!

Managed to only have coffee/water until 3pm and i've just had some vegetables roasted in 1 cal spray and seasoned with paprika, salt and pepper. Feeling full again but the cold is really getting to me today.

I'll do a high intensity zumba class tonight and then have a tin of soup for dinner
