[fast5] Saying hello from Switzerland

Hi folks,

i am reading here for such a long time and i found so many good advices
for this woe that i now want share my own expiriences.
hopefully my english is good enough to understand.

Well, actually i dont need to loose weight but my husband needs to put off a few pounds. He stopped smoking and gained about 10 pounds.

So he wanted to do atkins for weightloss.He cut off about 5 pounds within two months.And i GAINED 5 pounds!!!!!
This was really a no go. An for worstcase we both had such a bad breath all the time because of the ketosis.

I googled a lot about badbreath,atkins, lowcarb/highfat and so on.And by exidence i fell over fasting5 mentioned in a ketosisforum.

This was a brand new input.After reading the ebook i knew this is it.
Plain and simple! BUT my dear hubby was not interested at all.
For social and buisness reasons he needs to have lunch and sometimes
dinner.
We went to Colorado for honeymoon at 6th of september 2009.I started fasting5 two weeks earlier to get adjusted before we left.

I started cold turkey.The first window i tried was 5 to 10.I had all the sensations the folks in this forum talked about.Headache,bloated feeling,binging,overeating....

But it helped me a lot to read in here that this will soon pass.
An it did.For almost 8 months iam on this WOE and i really enjoy it.
I stay on it and my hubby joins me as often as possible.
My weight is back to normal. And my workout during the fasting period
is a lot more fun. No fully stomach, no bloated feeling and always
ready to go.( i do some ironwork,rowing and fighterfitness).

But for some reason fasting5 or intermitting fasting is hardly known
over here in switzerland or even europe.I my self keep it quiet private.If i talk about fasting during the day, most people think i
have a eating disorder.

I am still 57 kilo and 163 tall(small?),52 jears on earth and mom
of two grown up boys.
My eating window is now from 4pm to 9pm. It changes sometimes to about
6 or 7pm. But hunger is never ever bothering me.I often start eating because its time to do.An i enjoy eating everything i want to.I dont eat junkfood but i am not a lowcaber or warrior.

Well,folks this is the story from overseas.
I stay on fast5.Its simple an plain. I love it!

Lots of greetings to all the fast5ers.Iam back to Colorado August 29.
A lot of hiking to do.
see ya!
