the weight loss should slow down by week two. If not, add more food in your window. You might try several smaller meals over the five hours. Everybody is...
I am getting there - just confused a bit Does everyone here do this daily on a permanent basis or only certain amount of days per week? I have been doing it...
I've been fast-5ing this time successfully for about 3 weeks. I am a returning Fast-5er after a few attempts. This time though, I have it down and I feel...
Everybody varies with this. But it seems it is not at all unusual to lose a good deal of weight early on and then settle in to a pound or two a week. So just...
As long as you feel good, I wouldn't worry about it. Your body is mostly made of water, so most of your "weight" is H20. Fat really, really doesn't weigh very...
It's designed to be a permanent lifestyle. Actually once you get used to it it's hard NOT to do it, and you tend to feel bad when you go off it. In terms of...
This is encouraging, littlelissa! Esp after reading what Heather had to say about muscle loss. I had to stop Fast5 when I had to start taking a 12-hr...
This is from Brad Pilon, author of "Eat Stop Eat", the intermittent fasting concept of fasting one or two 24-hr periods in a week (as opposed to our preferred...
Thanks Heather for your replies and useful information :) Donna ... From: fast5@yahoogroups.com [mailto:fast5@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Heather Twist Sent:...
Yeah the only problem with reverse osmosis is that it removes all the good stuff too and completely denatures the water. I will stick to filtering out tank...
Heather You mentioned getting a roast at Costco. Since then, I have not been to Costco to check their prices but noticed an ad for sirloin tip roast at a ...
You know, pretty much any roast makes good steak. A sirloin roast makes sirloin steak. A rib roast makes rib steak. Basically all you have to do is slice it to...
Thank you. I was thinking of buying the roast merely to grind it up to make burger. You talk about the amount of fat and the connective tissue; since I want ...
By connective tissue I mean gristle, basically. Commercial burger has a LOT of gristle in it, usually. Which makes tough burgers. You don't want gristle for...
hello all, i am paul. i am a 46 yo vegan (i know Rita and Luz had posted a while ago back, if there were any vegans doing fast 5). quick back story on me is 12...
HI Pain, inflammation and arthritis do NOT "just come with age". When I was close to your age I too had these problems. I was also vegan. I was also very...
Ellen Your reply interests me. Why would you have to stop being vegan to stop eating grains? Is it because you cannot get all the nutrients in the 'other' food...
yes, you could not get all the nutrients. i suppose one could be vegan and not eat grains. The combination of grains and legumes provides the complete array of...
Thanks for your reply, Ellen; it is very very interesting, helpful, and hopeful. My challenge is that I follow a vegan lifestyle for personal beliefs so, most...
Hi Karen and Ellen Interesting about the beans. As I posted to you earlier Ellen, the grains elimination experimentation is certainly do-able but as far as ...
Hi Ellen i'm trying to get off grains myself and was wondering how you dealt with lack of energy? I tried 2 years ago and found that i was a total ZOMBIE...did...
How long did you try it for? If you go off grains there is a definite "withdrawal period" for some people ... it took me 2-3 months to get my sanity back. I...
From an immune perspective, wheat protein isolate is the WORST. My Dad was vegetarian, and when he died he had many of the classic celiac symptoms. My Mom said...
I actually had better energy without grains. it has been awhile since that first time so I can't remember the details. It may be that it took me a week or two...
*warning, long post, sorry! Hi All. I have never discussed my eating problem with anyone. This is the first time I have attempted because I feel it is ruling...
Good for you for posting! This is such a painful issue. But I am sure that if you persist you will find something that works for you. I have for most of my...
 Hi!  Other than gender differences (and the fact that my kids are grown), you sound a lot like me. I have created a lot of success for myself so I am...
