· 5 min read

Everything you need to know before your first fast day. What to eat, what to drink, how to manage hunger and how to get through it feeling proud.

Day 3 of 7

Today’s video is one to watch before your first fast day, whenever that ends up being for you.

Victoria Black walks you through exactly what a fast day looks like from morning to night, what you can eat and drink during your fasting window, how to manage hunger when it comes, and what to do if things don’t go perfectly. Whether your first fast day is today, tomorrow or later this week, this video sets you up so you’re ready when it arrives.

A few things to keep in mind on your fast days:

Water is your best friend. Aim for 8 glasses of 250ml spread throughout the day. Staying well hydrated genuinely reduces hunger, improves energy and makes the day significantly easier.

Black coffee, black tea and herbal teas are all fine during your fasting window. A small dash of milk is also okay. Up to 50 calories in your fasting window won’t break your fast.

Hunger comes in waves. If you feel hungry, drink a glass of water and give it 15 minutes. Most of the time it passes on its own.

Staying busy makes a real difference. The hardest fast days are the ones with nothing to do. If you’re active and distracted, the day flies.

If things don’t go perfectly, that’s okay. If you go over your calorie target, simply count it as a non-fast day and try again tomorrow. One imperfect day changes nothing about your journey.
