Anyone fancy fasting tomorrow?

1 day fast, tomorrow..

Allowing digestion and body to rest and hopefully gain some mental clarity too.

I personally feel I really need that full body reset.

Thought we could all keep each other going and share how we are getting on!

I've stopped eating for today so next food intake will be Thursday morning with a good breakfast

Who's in?

(you can also do a juice fast or include herbal teas / coffee if you wish)

Sat here on the loo with the mother of all IBS flare ups.

Absolutely on board for a fast tomorrow!

Not sure what I've done to deserve it this time.

Yessssss let's do this.

My first challenge will be not having my morning coffee haha.

But think how incredible we will feel!

Yes I've fasted before. My longest was 72 hours.

Been a while though.

lilianash · 08/11/2023 06:01

Morning everyone,

My husband just delivered me a coffee in bed haha.... I forgot to tell him I was fasting.

All good though, I'm not having it.

How's everyone feeling this morn?

You can drink black coffee (no sugar) while fasting.

good luck today guys!! You can do this!!

VioletPickles · 08/11/2023 06:10

I’m in. Can I have truvia in coffee though? And collagen powder?

KaySararSarar · 08/11/2023 06:33

@VioletPickles I don’t think so as it would spike your blood sugar.

What I’ve found really helpful when fasting and having a bit of a blip is to listen to/research benefits of a fast as it spurs me on to think of the good I’m doing, a good podcast is diary of a ceo with Dr Pelz, ep 256 - she is incredible, also does a lot of vids on YouTube.

Fraiches · 08/11/2023 07:20

I'm here.

Ended up not having dinner so fasting benefits underway.

Peppermint tea in hand instead of my normal. Also have some bags to take to work.

Probably will eat later (if I can) so that I don't end up with my medication hurting my stomach but will keep it very clean and grateful for the inspiration here. ☺️

VioletPickles · 08/11/2023 07:59

I googled and it said stevia based sweetener was ok?
love Dr Pelz, I’ve listened to a few of her podcasts

lilianash · 08/11/2023 08:03

Ahhh guys so happy that you're here doing this with me.

Can't wait to feel amazing tomorrow. I've felt so bloated & lethargic recently.

I'm gonna have a black coffee later this morning as my little treat !

When are you guys planning to break your fast ?
