I am back to fast-5 after several months off, and 15 lbs gained. I don't feel like I am starting from zero, I feel like this is a continuation. I agree that the problem with other ways of eating force you to think about food all the time. Which doesn't make sense to me. I have far too interesting of a life to really devote THAT much time to thinking about, preparing and eating food. I have discovered, though, that unless I am in my eating window, I can't be reading recipes, planning menus, or reading foodie or nutrition blogs!
Today is my 3rd day. My window is either 12-5 or 1-6. (I work 7am-7pm and it is rather physical, so I usually am quite hungry by 1.) One really nice thing is that I am not coming home and eating junk, out of exhaustion and stress, which I usually do at work. I got in a situation yesterday where I couldn't eat until 6 pm. I was fine, but I suspect I didn't quite get enough calories, b/c I was ravenous this am, and ate 2 biscuits at 9 am. Should I make my window from 9-2? I am worried I will have trouble not eating tonight.
Are any of you night shift workers? I may move to nightshift soon, and I am not sure how I would do this. It is very important to me if I choose to go to nightshift that I don't make myself even more unhealthy by gaining weight. The advantage of the promotion would be the same take-home pay, but only working 2 nights a week, instead of 3 days. And some daytime meetings.
