Re: [fast5] Re: First Week Done





BTW, one of the issues I had eating once a day was acid reflux and GERD. Actually I probably had it before too, but didn't notice it as much. Anyway, as an experiment I tried something someone recommended, and by golly it works! It's called D-Limonene, and you can buy it online. Extract of orange peels. No one seems to know why it works, but interestingly, after taking it for 2 weeks, people got relief for 6 months afterward, without taking it.



It comes in two brands: one is a pack of 12 overpriced pills, the other is a whole bottle of them for a much better price. It seems to do fine on an empty stomach, or with a meal.

Welcome!

When I have days that I am hungry, it is almost always because I started eating the day before with carbs.  If I break my fast with protein and/or fat, I'm fine.  Since I like cheese, having a piece or two of cheese while getting the rest of my meal ready seems to work well.

My window is also 3-8.  Since I have had acid reflux which lead to Barrett's Esophagus, my Dr. wants me to not eat for 2 hours before going to bed.  So even if I go to bed fairly early, that fits.

Fast-5 is a pretty easy habit to get into for the long term.  I've been eating this way since Aug 2009.  Lost about 40 lbs pretty quickly.  Not a lot of loss since Jan 2010, but I have been happy with the way I feel and haven't worried about sticking with my window all the time anymore.  Usually it's only when there is a reason such as a luncheon, party, etc.  During the first 6 months or so, I really stuck to my window because if I didn't (even once), I would put on weight that week.
