[fast5] Re: Hello My First Day- Question Please, Help

Welcome to the group!
You'll find the answer to your question (which is "eat according to appetite") and answers to questions you don't have yet but probably will at these locations:

The welcome page for this group:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/fast5/

The FAQ file and summary pages:

http://www.fast-5.com/faq.html
http://www.fast-5.com/F5Summary.html

You can also download the entire book (it's only about 50 pages) for free at:
http://www.fast-5.com/Fast-5-ebook100.pdf

Reading the book should help you understand how Fast-5 works. The more you know, the better you can adapt it to fit well into your life. For example, the eating window does not have to be from 5-10pm -- it can be any period of five consecutive hours.

As far as metabolism goes, if your boost your metabolism by keeping your body busy storing groceries, that kind of defeats the purpose because your body will inevitably store more calories than it burns digesting them (unless you eat only celery.) The key is to eat less than your body needs so it burns the excess already stored. Fast-5 helps do that by getting the appetite right for slow, steady weight loss and leads to a lifestyle approach to simple weight maintenance.

It may take a few weeks to get to the slow, steady weight loss, a time during which you may have compensatory overeating, but that's ok if it's just a transient phase that gets you where you want to be. (That's in the book too).

Best wishes,

Bert

So, are we supposed to eat the whole 5 hours or are we supposed to eat according to hunger? I'm afraid about metabolism slowing if I don't eat enough. Any suggestions or tips please...
