It turns out that I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Bar a minor headache first thing in the morning (which was probably related to the cold I have since developed and not fasting) and a twinge of hunger around 11:30am, I had an easy day. Keeping busy seems to be the key to not noticing you are hungry.
My Day 2 Fast Menu was:
Breakfast: half a tin of mandarins and three desert spoons of yogurt - 194 cal*.
Drinks: water, caffeinated tea with skimmed goat's milk, herbal teas.
Dinner: 1 poached egg, half tin of Heinz baked beans, 1 slice of linseed bread - 345 cal*
After dinner: 2 Werther Originals Sugar Free Sweets - 18 cal*
Total: 557 cal.*

I am looking forward to taking my measurements next week to see if these two fast days have started to make a difference.
At the moment, the only minor concern I have to note is that my 'regularity' in terms of waste disposal has been disrupted, which has made me feel quite bloated over the past two days. I am in hope that this will settle down eventually, as my body recognises the rhythm I am imposing on it.
