[fast5] Re: New to Fast Five!



What is your window? Just curious. I found that a different window affects me differently.

I am trying to do a longer window and work down. Hopefully that will work.

i use neem oil and water sprayed around the outside of the house and doors and windows to keep away spiders because I had so many until my son said the spiders eat roaches, flies and stuff you don't want around. so when I was looking at natural repellents for scorpions I saw that spiders also eat them. I guess I don't want to chase them away but still spray around windows and doors so they don't come in the house. 


I did see this:  to keep scorpions away...Plant lavender. You can plant it around the perimeter of the home, buy dried plants, or get lavender essentials oils to use when cleaning and refreshing your home. The fresh plants seem to have a better effect than oils or dried plants though. It's quite easy to grow and maintain, and smells wonderful. Citrus is also considered to be another deterrent. You could grow citrus in pots near your entrance areas and use citrus oil cleaners in bathroom and other wet zones of the house.

I buy my essential oils and vitamin E oil on ebay!  I also put a few drops of lavender essential oil and a few drops of tea tree oil in my bath water when I want to relax and have a good nights sleep. the tea tree of course if for the skin and the lavender has a calming  effect as well as a great smell. I use lavender scented things (laundry soap, dryer sheets, shampoo, etc) because mosquito's hate it! rather than spray myself with poison, I make a homemade repellent with essentials oils and witch hazel (also good for the skin). I know it works since I've only had 2 bites in the past 4 years since I started using it!

one of the things I hated about aging was my saggy neck. I read a lot about what happens to our skin as we age and created a lotion made up of coconut oil, vitamin E liquid and tea tree essential oil (tea tree is good for the skin). I put this on my neck and face every day before my shower and held a hot washcloth to it. as I lost weight and applied this each day, I began to see a BIG difference in my neck and face. I am very happy with the results so far.

as far as motivation, I can tell you I love this way of eating. I eat foods I really like and pretty much whatever I want. but I do only eat once a day. I am not hungry although I occasionally want to eat in the evening. I know my body. I can eat donuts and pie and pizza and burgers and bacon and eggs. I cannot eat cake! I love to cook and make a lot of stuff from scratch. I try to avoid processed foods. i eat real butter instead of margerine which is not food. recently, I made some homemade strawberry jam. omg, soooo good! simple and easy and no chemicals or preservative.

it is easier for me than a lot of people because I live alone. last oct. 5th I weighed 200 lbs. today I weigh 166 lbs. for someone to lose 34 lbs in under a year, and eat the foods I eat, I think that is great!

Re: [fast5] Re: New to Fast Five!



Thank you! I used to eat a tablespoon everyday and put it on my face. I have not done that in a while. I am still struggling with staying on F-5. I think I need to go back and read the book to get super motivated.

hi linda, while there are many benefits listed for the use of coconut oil, I haven't seen anything referring to breast cancer. as far as cholesterol, I was reading a web site that said "Studies in both humans and rats show that coconut oil improves important risk factors like Total, LDL and HDL cholesterol, which may translate to a reduced risk of heart disease."

personally, I use coconut oil for cooking, oil pulling, and making homemade cleansers for my face and hair. oil pulling is swishing coconut oil in your mouth (do not swallow) for 5 mins ( I think ) each morning. it is supposed to be beneficial for the teeth and gums.

Thanks for sharing. I have breast cancer in my family. Does coconut oil help because I used to take it everyday and juice when I was on a Fast 5 before?

I'm not advocating for anyone to go off their meds just letting you know my experience.

hey pepper!
I am going thru the same thing... plateau. i was going up and down from 168 to 170 and back. i just kept with the program and this morning i was at 166! that's a total weight loss of 34 lb so far. even if i never lose another pound, i wouldn't want to go back to eating three meals a day. i like eating this way and i believe i will continue to lose, maybe not a pound a week but i will reach my goal. hang in there!

Re: [fast5] Re: New to Fast Five!



Gosh 'Cupcake'!  Can't comment on your medical issues but Fast-5 surely works so welcome back! 
Remember    10 pounds will probably be 10 weeks so you stick to your goal bcs it will happen.
Do investigate the science Dr Herring makes clear - esp on his new website - about effects of fasting on cholesterol. 
Looks like good news to me!

I agree now with samgood  ['Hey' backatcha!]   if I never lose another pound I wouldn't want to go back to eating 3 meals a day - and thanx samgood for the wee encouragement about the 'ol plateau. I just tried to remember that Bert said it's about inches (how your clothes feel) and not lbs.  AND he mentioned it sometimes means it is your body's reaction to weight loss by holding on to excess fat supplies in a self-preservation move entirely separate from your brain.

But it is a bit discouraging if you are A. kinda low when you have a peek at the scales and B. grumpy about seeing the same old read-out of your weight after a week or two of Fasting merrily away.  Still, I feel ggrrrrrreat! But am about to go on a holiday in the states so I shall be tested with those yummy meals at 
B&B's in New England.

btw  I too find eating this way unbelievably simple and, wait for it, honestly, I kinda like that I get hungry.  
Millions of really hungry people all over the world do not have the option of moaning about how hungry they are after only 19 hours while knowing food is immanent.

Best to all

Well I have gained ten lbs. Blood Pressure is up and cholesterol. Doctor wanted to put me on Lipitor. I said No, I will lose weight. So I have to take this seriously and get back on Fast-5. It worked before and it will work again!😃
