Thanks for the kind words everybody. I forgot to mention that David Nyman said something to me a year or two ago where he said that he maintains 160lbs on a...
Well done Rick, you look terrific. It's good to know I was of some help, however slight. It's rather daunting to be a role model though - I've got to try to...
Can we get some more detail on your routine? I'm looking for inspiration myself. What kind of workout/frequency? How much do you eat in the window? That...
I have tried just about every combination of foods, timing, exercise, etc and what I've settled on is mostly zero-carb carnivorous diet. Fast-5 is one of...
Good job, Rick! You look great! How many carb grams did you limit yourself too and are what kind of tweaking to the diet have you done to maintain? Just...
Currently doing zero-carb. I find that at this point in my journey, any carbs give me incredible cravings so I tend to overeat and gain weight. I find too...
Hi Rick, Big Congrats to you!!! I'm curious as to what a "daily bowl of meat" consists of. I love the Fast-5 concept and find I have so much more energy on it...
Sandi- Really simple- Take some ground beef, lamb, bison, or goat- put it in a pan or a pot, turn on the heat and cook it. :) Whatever fat or juice cooks...
Hi all, I posted here some time back but have been away from IF/FF for about a year. The reasons are important, as they affected my overall health: I had...
Blood sugar is a tricky one, for sure. One of the things I found out, via a lot of reading, is that *high iron absorption* is one of the causes of high blood...
Thanks, Heather. I really don't think high iron is my problem, because I tend to be anemic. In fact, I get rejected for that reason when I try to donate...
Could well be you are low on iron ... gluten issues can damage the pancreas too. High iron levels though, are, ironically, often the cause of anemia. So it's...
Well, yes, which is why I'm quitting them and going FF/low carb. : ) No, I don't currently take fish oil supplements, but that's a good suggestion. I do take...
I think I may have confused the issue with my post, which may have included too much info. I believe my poor diet, stress, and illness is the cause of my...
I'm glad you don't take fish oil. If you have some time, here's why: http://www.brianpeskin.com/BP.com/publications/2011-Fish%20Oil%20Fallacies.pdf -Rick...
thought I replied, but don't see it. They need a like button here. I was leaning towards "low carb" and fast-5. Your zero carb plan really appeals to me....
Well, my blood glucose stabilized very nicely on IF, after a couple of weeks on it. I started IF originally because if I didn't eat for 3 hours, I'd have "low...
I appreciate the info provided by Rick regarding his experimentations. I had read the earlier Peskin work because I was interested with Omega 3 and it's...
Another cheap help is turmeric. http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/ART03001/Three-Reasons-to-Eat-Turmeric.html There have been a number of studies on it, and it's a...
Do you know, cashews, peanut butter, and almond butters are my downfall! But they have carbs so they're off the list of what I can eat. I think that's why ZC...
Hi Barnaby- I tend to stock my freezer with grass fed beef from a local rancher. I've had several e-mail exchanges with Professor Peskin and he says as long...
I'm curious though. Why the emphasis on beef? If you look at the world cuisines, the ones that focus on fish and eggs, produce the healthiest people....
Hi Heather- That's a good question. While I'm not sure it's true that people who eat fish are smarter and healthier (it could be that smart and healthy people...
After reading the ebook, I started Fast Five three weeks ago. My numbers changed drastically for the better: Beginning blood pressure: 136/77 After three 3...
Wow! Incredible job Annie! ;) I dunno what to say about the brain fog except that Dr Herring says it takes 2-4 weeks to adjust sometimes. I've heard of some...
Hi Rick, Thank you....thank you. Hmmmm.....it might just take longer to get past the brain fog. ?? I don't like it....ugh. I was surprised to recognize the...
You might try experimenting with foods. Food allergies tend to show up MORE on Fast-5. I think part of the issue is that the "fasting" period acts as a kind of...
I am a little leery of most "extracts"; of anything, including fish oil. The fish oil I've gotten is often rancid. But there have been numerous cases where an...
