Day Two: Lunchtime

40 day fast 1 Minute

It’s the middle of the day, and I’m not hungry.

I’ve been quite thirsty, so I’ve been drinking a lot. I also slept really well last night – 11 hours! I must have needed it.

Side effects: I’ve noticed I’m a bit grumpy, and I also had a bit of a headache last night. I don’t know if it’s related to the fast, as I’ve never had headaches when fasting before. I’ve still got a low level headache, but I don’t want to take any painkillers, as this fast I want to learn about myself and my body.

I spent the morning digging up potatoes, and just enjoying the sunshine outside – it’s beautiful weather for Good Friday.

So far I’m enjoying the fast, but it’s early days. And I know from experience that the toughest parts are the afternoons over the first few days.

    1. Yes, I allow lemon juice, tea and vitamin tablets. Tea makes all the difference – I’ve been drinking a very good lemon and ginger one recently that’s really nice.
