RE: [fast5] Update #1!!!! :)

Did you start cold turkey on gradually alow you body to adjust? My wife had trouble when she tried without an adjustment period. I had no trouble cold turkey so I believe that everyone probably has a different reaction. Give it a shot again and stretch it out over a week or 10 days to give your body time to adjust. I find it to be a very easy lifestyle to live with, much easier than trying to count calories or limit my intake of certain foods. I have lost about 10 pounds over the last 3 months and have hit a plateau but hope to start losing again soon.

 
Good luck!

Subject: [fast5] Update #1!!!! :)

 

I tried to update sooner but my internet has a mind of its own and decides on its own when it wants to work. The first ten days were interesting. I started on October 1st at 355 pounds, after ten days I weighed in at 352 pounds. Yay! 3 pounds lost! I ended up switching back to my old diet after 4 days because of weird side effects I was experiencing. I did the fast 5 for 4 days in a row and each night that I did I slept like a log and was having trouble waking up and feeling energetic and excited to jump out of bed and start my day. I felt like a big fat couch potato and the most exercise I got was just going to work. I usually don't feel that sluggish and have more energy on less sleep. The worst side effect which made me switch back was each night after the eating window having a big meal all at once gave me chest pain that i've never experienced before and very extreme vivid nightmares. I can't remember the last time I had a memorable dream of any kind before this experience. I would wake up all tense and sweaty in a panic and felt so tired that I could sleep another 10 hours. After day 4 I couldn't eat very much and have just been nibbling on food when I get hungry but haven't had a big meal, haven't had any nightmares or chest pain with the nibbles. I'm excited about the weight loss! I'm a little disappointed with my experience with this, I'm willing to learn more if anyone has any tips or has experienced anything like I did, i'll update again after another 10 days, comments welcome I enjoy reading these
