[fast5] Re: Fast-5ing and LCHF

I have been eating this way for about four days... I notice that I am actually wanting to eat a lot less. I think in my hour of eating I was probably overeating... or at least over eating carbs. Fruit was quite a staple of my diet. I have been stalled around the same weight for probably a month or so now. I am not overweight but am attempting to lose body fat. I really should invest in a body fat measure. I am working on cutting carbs, I just went to the grocery store yesterday and bought some greek yogurt and cheeses. The only problem I am really encountering so far is ways to find fats to eat that don't have so much protein. I couldn't even find coconut oil. From the beginning of my hope to lose weight last year, I had been avoiding fats and so this way of eating is very interesting to me. I especially like what I am eating with LCHF and I do plan to stick with Fast-5 for the rest of my life, it is just the most natural way of eating for me. I don't get hungry until the end of the day and it isn't a struggle for me to live this way. It also ties in with my ideas on spirituality but that is something else entirely. I weighed myself this morning and found that I had gone up to 153 from 150, but then I remembered it's that time of the month... :)

I read that the intenstinal wall can only take in "12-15 grams per hour" of fat. I tend to not 'fast-5' but rather 'fast-1'. I have had significant weight loss but I am within maybe 10 pounds of my ideal weight. I want to lose body fat, and I have been working on strength training all along. The calculations for the percentages of carb/protein/fat say I should eat around 157g of fat (impossible for me to imagine right now). If I did this in my regular eating window of just an hour, would I really be only absorbing the 130 or so calories of fat and none of the other 1278? I don't want to be starving my body of calories, so while undertaking this endevour should I initially start myself back at the five hour eating window, rather than just eating in my one hour? Thanks for any input. :)
