Thanks, everyone. I wouldn't say I'm "hung up by the book" at all. He clearly explains you can pick your own window and I get the concept of the long daily fast being the point. Since I like dinner with the kids and a snack in the evening the 5-10pm window seemed like a good place to start. My question was really about whether or not there is a benefit to being hungry. I was wondering if that legitimate feeling of hunger means that my body is digging into fat stores to keep the lights on. If so, it isn't the worst feeling in the world. I'm going to switch to 4-9pm and see what happens. As far as food choices, I'm a Weston A Price and Sally Fallon fan from way back. I eat lots of saturated fats and agree that it is, for me, a very healthy eating plan. I truly think coconut is a miracle food and incorporate it as often as I can. I do eat some good hearty whole grain bread, usually with nuts in it and butter and occasionally a dessert of some kind. I bake a lot with almond meal instead of flour. I also concede that there are a lot of ways to do things right. I know if I cut the bread out it may help to lose weight faster but after the last round of my question and the groups answers I've decided to quit worrying about it at all. I like how I feel and am convinced this is good for my health so I'm switching to weekly weigh-ins from daily and a pound a week will be just fine with me. After a few weeks go by I'll keep you guys posted.
