Re: [fast5] Scared I am doing something wrong...

I know what you mean about experimenting with food. I haven't done too much of it yet, but it is so easy to be able to pinpoint what specific foods do to me now and how they make me feel. When you are only eating a little bit each day within a small time frame it is so easy to know what is doing what to your system. And I feel so much better already, it is so weird. I am anxious to check my blood pressure as recently it has been high (and that is what drove me to a fasting diet in the first place), but I am nervous to see if it has made any improvements yet or not.

I have been exercising regularly for about a month now as well so with these two things combined I have already lost like 5 lbs in the past 4 days. YEA! And now I know the trick to keeping it off. I really really wish this was more widely accepted. I mean what a turn around in such a short amount of time. If I can keep it up I think I will be shouting from the rooftops "HERE IS YOUR ANSWER" but then people will assume I am crazy and not listen LOL!

Way to go girl!!!

You're doing it right! For some it is easier than others.

I know for me - I am totally connected. This is what works best for me and it just seems like that last missing piece to the puzzle.

I'm on day 10 maybe, lost track, and it's a no brainer now. I enjoy pushing myself a little more each day and getting in more exercise.

I've also been able to unlock the codes to some of the ways I feel by being able to pinpoint what certain foods to do me. It's been fun that way.

Keep on keeping on!

I am an obese 33 year old female who is on her fourth day of the fast 5 and I have not had one single problem sticking to eating in the 5 hr window...

I just seem to have taken to this right away, in a strange way it almost feels "right" and like it is the missing link in my life.

This is why I am afraid I am doing something wrong...like it is almost too easy.

I drink water all day and break my fast at 2:30pm as this works best for my schedule, although I am thinking about pushing it back an hour.

Anyway...I have been breaking my fast with a protein shake and some sunflower seeds or raspberries and having a normal dinner with my husband and then before the window is up, maybe like a little treat. I am trying to keep my protein and fiber intake up (fruits and veggies) but I have a hard time eating a ton of food in 5 hrs, partly because during some of that time I am at work or actually preparing dinner.

So, does this sound right? I mean the main thing is I am not eating anything for 19hrs so I suppose I am doing things correctly but I cannot figure out why a fat girl is having such an easy time of it. No cravings, probably because I do eat something sweet everyday so far and I have not been STARVING at all...but when I try and eat like 5 small meals a day I am RAVENOUS.

I wish someone would have told me about this 15years ago!!!!
