[fast5] Re: Trying again

I did fast 5 a few years ago and I remember only losing about 5 pounds in a space of 2 months. But I was looking at pictures a few nights ago and in a few of them I looked so thin. I realised that it was because I was doing fast 5. This made me decide to do it again long term and forget about the numbers on the scale because clearly I was losing fat and I didnt realise it. So don't worry about the numbers on the scale too much. Also look at eating a bit more during your window because I notice that I lose more weight when I eat a bit more.

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



You again!  Hi samdgood
Think we are on the same 'wave' as I too have just returned from 3 weeks of holiday and tho I did not keep to my usual Fast window, I found I preferred to eat a lot less. Too much food! yer right. I looked at the break philosophically as I knew A. I had plateaued and B. was going to shake my system up a bit as I was going to get that lobster roll and have a gorgeous B&B type breakfast whenever the food cropped up.  Think I only put on 2.3 lbs so I am looking forward to tomoro & a renewed life-style of giving my system a break. Turns out our fasting may well keep us a bit healthier too:

Here's why I say this ... the news about Dr Ohsumi winning the 2016 Nobel prize for his work on autophagy?



The 2016 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine goes to Yoshinori Ohsumi of Japan for discoveries about the secrets of how cells can remain healthy by recycling waste.
He located genes that regulate the cellular "self eating" process known as autophagy.
Dr Ohsumi's work is important because it helps explain what goes wrong in a range of illnesses, from cancer to Parkinson's.
The body destroying its own cells may not sound like a good thing. But autophagy is a natural defence that our bodies use to survive.
It allows the body to cope with starvation and fight off invading bacteria and viruses, for example.
And it clears away old junk to make way for new cells.
Failure of autophagy is linked with many diseases of old age, including dementia.
Research is now ongoing to develop drugs that can target autophagy in various diseases, including cancer.

All the best!
PH

my window is 11am to 4pm but since I only eat one meal per day I eat that meal usually between 11am and 1pm. if I'm at home I will usually eat about 11am but if I'm having lunch with my son or friend I will eat about 12 or 12:30pm. I realized I was a die hard fast fiver when I went on vacation with my son a while back. he and I ate breakfast lunch and dinner and after two days I had to say "STOP"! I can't do this... it's just too much food lol.
my son is very supportive. I love that he will call and ask if my window is closed before he invites my over to eat with him. I really appreciate that.

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

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!

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?
