that has so been my problem, too, Phil.
i would make excuses to eat sugar "just this once" and it would snowball and it'd be days later and i'd still be eating crap.
that, IMO, made my Fast5ing a failure.
i mean, even when i was only eating during my 5-hr window, if i was eating crap, i gained weight.
so, since i have not been able to Fast5 (due to taking meds), i have had to get my eating under control.
i have had to face the fact i am addicted to sugar and carbs (name them: cookies! chips!).
while it is tempting to eat like Andy said, if i have to eat every 12 hrs, i must cut the crap totally.

| Thanks, Karen! OK, this begs a question I asked Dr. Herring when I first posted, and I never got an answer: So, according to the book, it takes the initial states to deplete your liver's glycogen stores so that you burn ketones reliably during your 19-hour fast. However . . . if you have a serious binge on sugar/carbs, do you "undo" all the glycogen depletion rapidly? I am a binge-eater and have certainly learned to control my cravings (I'm down over 200 pounds over the last few years, down 100 since the beginning of 2007), but still, I have my days when I will take in a lot of sugar. I still weightlift four times a week and cardio about 20-25 miles of 15-degree incline every week (burns about 250-300 calories per mile for my 6'4" 210lb body), but I was curious about how much damage one does to the Fast5 ketone burn approach with one really strong cookie bender. :-) Thanks! |
