Do we have any vegan Fast 5'ers on this board? This might be the next step I'm considering. On another note, I had my body fat % taken at the gym and it's...
Hi, all. I'm new here. I'm a practical person, and Fast-5 appeals to me because it doesn't involve all the dreaded meal planning of other diets. I figure that...

One thought: if increased adrenaline causes "burnout", then anyone who exercises should be at risk for adrenal burnout. But most of the people who seem to have...
No clearly it is not that simple. It is not just that you raise adrenalin for a little while. It is raising it too high for too long....and that IS my...
Hello, I happened upon this group and am curious of the program. I am a compulsive overeater and am curious if anyone following this program has seen this...
I am happy to share my results week by week as we go on together. I have been loosing since late Nov07 - started at 105kg that's 231 lbs and want to get to...

In the book she does address gluten and casein, but only slightly. And I agree completely that many of the things she is mentioning could be down to multiple...
Well our roosters crow at all hours with no lights on and that is not what wakes me, cause occasionally I will sleep very well and nothing has changed with...
Heather and all, I haven't read her book, nor do I intend to...no more money on diet books that are essentially the same. In my opinion, she is way off track...
