the weight loss should slow down by week two. If not, add more food in your window. You might try several smaller meals over the five hours. Everybody is different, you will have to experiment. Or even lengthen your window.
Glad you found Fast-5. Welcome!

I have been practicing the Fast-5 lifestyle for about 4 days so far, after going on a camping trip and having fasted for ~48 hours and being surprised at how easy it was. I don't have a lot of weight to lose, I weigh about 160lb now and I would like to get to 140lb. I'm 5'11 with a small frame. I really just would like to burn the excess fat from my body. I've lost 60lbs since last year, using regular calorie counting and exercise. So far, I have been losing almost a pound a day. I assume that this will slow down. I consume the roughly same amount of calories in my eating window as I have been previously consuming, but I tend to just eat a big meal and then a little something after and feel full, so it is more like a 2 hour eating window. Is this rapid weight loss acceptable in the beginning, and how long should I let it persist? I am doing weight training during my fasts and I am not overly active, but I like to go for walks outside, mow the lawn, and things like that. I just wonder if this continues, if I should force myself to eat more calorie dense foods or open my eating window earlier.. I don't feel hungry until an hour or so before my window starts at 5pm, and I don't feel like I lack energy, I actually have much more than ever before. I love this lifestyle so far, I look forward to seeing its effects in a longer time frame.
