Re: [fast5] I just joined this forum

welcome Susie, this is a very suppontive group... I hope you like it.

 

I've heard that most of research made in nutrituion field is sponsored by the nutrition industry. And of course the're not going to shoot themselves in the foot.... they will always tell us to eat 6 or more meals a day....and take suplements too... tha'ts their bussiness... I've never enjoyde breakfast since I was a kid and my mom just respected that. During adulthood I started paying attention to the researches and advices and it didn't work well for me.... now I'm on FF and feeling good... loosing weight and with lots of energy all day long...

Hi all,

I stumbled on Fast-5 today through the Shangri-La forum. I started today, and I'm going for a modified cold turkey approach. Today, I didn't eat until 1:30. I'd almost forgotten that it actually feels pretty good to go without food. I'm going to shoot for 3 pm to 8 pm. I don't like to eat too close to bedtime.

For much of my adult life (I'm now 46, and my kids are grown), I didn't eat breakfast and was slim and healthy. I skipped lunch a lot of the time, too, because I was busy and not hungry. I always made sure to eat a good dinner with my kids in the evening. I allowed myself to be convinced that it wasn't healthy, started eating more often (and more carbs!), and gained a lot of weight. I then lost it all instinctively eating this way a few years back. I did it because that's how I used to eat. But I again caved to the "you HAVE to eat breakfast" mantra. It's such a relief to have validation that my instinctive way of eating is healthy and will keep me slim, and I'm certain that I will soon be back at my normal weight.

I also started a dance-based strength and flexibility routine this week, and I plan to walk at a nearby lake a few times a week. I have a lot of stiffness from lack of exercise in the last few years. I've been in law school (lots of time sitting), and I graduate in June. My birthday is also the end of May. It's my plan to be much slimmer by then and get some much cuter clothes. :)

I've spent some time today reading about 2 months worth of posts. So thanks to everyone for the information.

Susie
