I have been doing fast-5 for about two weeks now and have lost about 2 pounds. I haven't been keeping completely true to it on the weekends, though. I usually...
It's very difficult (at least for me) to alternate between eating all day and doing F5. It IS a way of life, and part of why it works is that the body gets...
I also notice fluctuations of 2+ pounds on a daily basis. I believe that it has to do with water retention based on the type of food you are eating. I have...
A friend of mine had this to say about my fasting. Now, it is rather vague, but can anyone comment on this? We were talking about why certain foods cause me...
There is some truth to this but not like your friend is saying. For instance, if you go a long time without eating dairy, you will lose the ability to digest...
I can say that the main reason I do fasting is because I can digest food BETTER when I do it. My take is that the gall bladder can store up gall and the other ...

I've been eating an apple (or at least half) almost every day for well over a year and I'm finding that only Granny Smith's give me the least gas. She has...
I know that insulin spikes are large when we eat carbs, a little less (maybe?) when we eat protein, how does insulin act when we eat fats (olive oil, walnuts,...
Fat has no effect on insulin.? Neither does fiber.? All other calories produce, to some extent, an insulin response.? Some people even believe artificial...
The exercise gurus often say it's better to have your stomach empty ... for one thing, digestion takes away a good portion of the available blood supply. While...
Hi Susan I like Heather's question: what are you trying to accomplish for exercise? It was something I had to look at, too. For me, the desire to continue to...
Hi again, I've been off the bandwagon for a while (went right back up to 165, that's 5 pounds MORE than I was when I was on Fast5 before :( ) but I've been...
Good for you, Amanda. _____ From: fast5@yahoogroups.com [mailto:fast5@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Amanda Siemens Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2008 7:44 PM To:...
Hello, I just started the Fast-5 diet last week. I am a 49YO male and tipped the scales at 245lb when I started. In 1 week I have lost 6 pounds! This is...
Welcome, Tim. You'll get lots of support and information from the group here. ... From: fast5@yahoogroups.com [mailto:fast5@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ...
... As I recall, only abt 10% of fat can be converted to glucose. Protein abt 60% and carbs nearly 100%. So there is some minimal effect from fats on insulin. ...
The early loss is probably mostly water, but it is a good sign. It means you are losing stored glycogen, which is a good thing. F5 seems to have a number of...
Hello, I am a new member, and I started yesterday. I had been calorie restricting from 2 week prior to finding fast-5, so fasting for 19 hours has been easy, I...
One of the best ways to overcome family-member skepticism that has been suggested on this group is to say you're experimenting. If you try it for say, two...

... Excellent point. However, what was so frustrating for the Atkins-ers was that they would gain, say, 10 lbs after one day of undulgence. Sure, that was...
Thanks for all the responses of support about hubby. I tried and tried, but he is VERY stubborn. :P But its my body and I will do as I please, and he accepts...
