Welcome to the discussion group for the Fast-5 Diet and Lifestyle!

The Fast-5 diet is a way of eating in which food intake is limited to a five-hour window. The five-hour window may occur any time during the day, but is usually placed in the evening, such as 4-9pm or 5-10 pm. The window is not for continuous consumption -- it's the time when one eats if desired.

During the window, one eats according to appetite, with no restriction on quantity or type of food. During the 19-hour fasting period (which includes sleeping) no calories are consumed, but water and other zero-calorie beverages may be consumed as desired.

The Fast-5 way of eating is appealing to many because it brings appetite in line with activity. Fast-5 is a low-hassle, no-cost, no-drug way of achieving and maintaining appropriate food intake levels.
