[fast5] back again

Hi,

I'm starting Fast-5 again, and therefore rejoining this yahoogroup.

What prompted me to quit Fast-5 the last time I quit: it wasn't
working for me, I didn't feel like I was burning fat, I was overeating
during my window, and I wasn't feeling good about my experience
anymore.

What prompted me to restart it: I'm reading this awesome book which I
highly recommend - "The Slow Down Diet" by Marc David - many of the
principles in there could be used simultaenously with the Fast-5
approach - and he really emphasizes embracing the PLEASURE of eating,
and I was remembering that there are aspects of fasting that I really
enjoy, and that it also helps me to enjoy the eating. ***ALSO***, in
that book he has some really fascinating information (a whole chapter
devoted to it) on the how TIMING is very important. When I previously
did Fast-5 I always had a late-in-the-day/evening window, but based on
the information on how metabolism may be optimized by eating earlier
in the day, I will be playing with having my eating-window be
something like 9am-2pm, which includes when the sun is highest, which
David claims is when our metabolism is strongest. Besides this shift,
I've picked up other tools (such as creating Affirmations related to
eating, and some of the other tips David has in his book) to help me
on this journey.

I am impressed with how science is so good at proving so many
different things, including apparent contradictions... Which leads
back the conclusion that it's really about WHATEVER WORKS for the
individual. Some people say fasting is no good for metabolism, others
say it's great for it, etc., etc... I enjoy the scientific viewpoints
AND I'm inspired to try this method again, to see what works for me
PERSONALLY - I am my own lab rat : }

Thanks!
