[fast5] Re: altering the feeding times

Thank you heather. Is that the same as Glucommannon? I take that sometiems and it does help fill the belly. I've read of the warrior diet but don't want to give up this afternoon fasting, cuz it's been so GREAT for me.
I will just try to delay my a.m meal a bit, by bit and see if I can work it that way....and I've taken PGX pills before.I'm thinking Glucomannon is the same thing, for some reason. Thank you

I do enjoy reading here different things that affect/help/hinder the process so that I can be cognizant of them.

I am a schoolteacher and the energy that entails just makes it hell. Have tried it several times, but my window is 7-noon which works BEAUTIFULLY for me. however, if I have a dinner engagement one night, I have yet to find a way to effectively alter for it.

But I just CANT fast during the day. I get incredible headaches and nausea, but not so when I've fed my body for the first few hours of waking. I think it'd be sO much easier to skip breakfast and lunch than dinner...no one would say a WORD (these naysayers are soo annoying) if I said, "I don't really eat breakfast" but if I say "I skip dinner" there's a big ole call to arms!
