Hello it's nice to hear that fasting has helped you with your gut issues. I too suffer (sometimes really badly) with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I tried my first...
Pilon does a good job on technical issue of documenting insulin levels at differing hours of fasting I think it's easiest to have a daily habit of 20 hour...
I think if you have medical issues, think of those first, before the weight. When your body is not happy, it can get too fat or too skinny, but it's hard to do...
Hello Everyone It's been a few weeks since my last post and my progress with Fast 5 has gone well. I made a conscious effort not to weigh myself but judge my...

... Boiled egg would be excellent 911 Food as it combines protein with very good fat and is not a remnant of the "low fat brainwashing" like jerky would be ...
Hi! I've been lurking for a while but thought I would say hello and ask a couple of questions. I have been doing a 'primal blueprint' sort of thing on and off...
Suggest diving right in with a filling fatty meat meal at noon and a bit more at 4 or 5 pm, if necessary, then fasting until the next Noon One meal a day is...
Hi and welcome in from lurkdom! For getting used to a fast ... when I went on another plan, some years ago, it was the "Warrior Diet". It is basically the same...

... Thanks! My issues on blood sugar were that, for most of my life, I would get "low blood sugar" if I skipped a meal. I really HAD to eat every couple of ...
I agree Heather! Fast 5 works for me because it's a daily habit. A while back I tried fasting once a week for 24 hours and it worked for a while, but after a...
