... When I started Fast5, I had no idea how much I wanted to lose either. I reckoned that whatever I said was just a number. I'd let my body decide where it...
Yes, I have also read about curcumin in turmeric for Alzheimer's. And hey, red wine for keeping iron down sounds like the ticket for me <g>. Short of leech...
I agree. When I deny myself treats in the house I want to eat them more, and then I just not even bother to resist them! =( I will try Heather's method next...
Hi everybody, I've been following Fast-5 for a couple months, and overall, I love it. My main challenge is not with the diet itself, but with the attitudes of...
What I do... I change my window for that day.... OR..... I have a cup of coffee or a glass of iced tea and visit with them while they eat. Carolyn On Sep 2,...
i know this won't work for you, but i don't bother telling them what i'm doing at all. it's funny, but most of the time, people don't even notice that i'm not...
I would just keep sticking to your program and to your window. I find that the longer I do this, the fewer the comments and the more accepting others are of my...
Currently, I am on a high-fat, low-carb 'diet'. The jury is still out (I think today is day 5), but I'm amazed at how 'not hungry' I am. But it was still hard...
 Everyone's going to have an opinion here. Here's mine!  Look, Fast5 is not a religion, and it's not a die-hard rigid-strict regimen. It's a tool to...
I am really appreciating Fast-5 very much - it seems like such a good "fit" for me in so many ways - and how I am doing it is that I have a flexible window,...
What I did for my family is to start reading to them at mealtimes. They love being read to. It was pretty common for me to not eat with them anyway though,...
I have been researching the low carb-high fat way of eating and am beginning to believe it. I'm going to start experimenting with it, but I have a question. I...
Thanks, everyone, for your advice and philosophies! You're all very wise :). Here's my next question... I'm racing in a triathlon sprint (a mini-triathlon)...
... If your sister has it, and has the genes, you certainly can get your doc to get you gene-tested. Which means they will also do the tests for TIBC and...
Hi, Been lurking here for a week or so. I've been on Fast-5 for 16 days now and my weight has not moved. I fast the full 19 hours and I workout with...
Hola, Mark -  I'm 42 also. I'm 6'4" and was about 230 when I started F5, and am now about 210. I've been on it since March or April so I could have lost...
Phil, I completely understand what you are saying. Ten years ago I was 150 lbs and 9% bodyfat. I was eating right, spending 90min per day/5 times per week at...
Hi Emma I'm following a similar eating plan right now, too. it seems to me, 157g of fat is about how much i'm to have of fat, too! i thought i was doing good...
I have been eating this way for about four days... I notice that I am actually wanting to eat a lot less. I think in my hour of eating I was probably...
Here is what I know for me: I'm a 51-yo female and I am a serious weight trainer (I lift 4 times/wk). I go in to my lifting at about 10-11 hrs fasted. Two of...
Well I've gone through my first 3 weeks and my official weight loss is I'm down 7.5 lbs. I've experimented with having my 5-hr at varous times during the day,...

Hi, Fast-5ers! I'm new and slowly working my way through the archives. I'm on day 4 today, and I started on Monday cold turkey. My window is 3pm-8pm. While I...
I've been doing fast-5 for roughly 15 weeks. During the beginning I certainly wanted to binge, a lot. While you can eat whatever you like, if you are eating a...
The first week or two, just don't worry about it. The first week you're body is really getting used to it, and binging is normal. Re-reading the book will...
Welcome! I finally had to force myself to stop bingeing during my window. It sort of made me mad that I really couldn't eat 'whatever I wanted' during my...
