Re: [fast5] In Case of Emergency During Fasting

You might want to analyze what, exactly, you are craving? 

The need to "munch" might be:

- Emotional

- Thirst

- Salt

- Protein

- Fat

Two and Three are my main ones, I've found. 

Hunger seems to have a lot to do with what was eaten the day before. Mostly (based on what others

have said, and my own experience) eating enough the day before seems to be key. Esp. eating enough 

protein/fat, and from good sources.

Hello Everyone

It's been a few weeks since my last post and my progress with Fast 5 has gone well. I made a conscious effort not to weigh myself but judge my progress by how my clothes fit and inches lost. I'm happy to report that my clothes are a little looser and I've lost 2 inches from my waist. Overall I look and feel better so I know the program is working.

For me I tend not to be too disciplined with what I eat once I break my fast but I do seem to enjoy the food I eat more. I've read through the post history and utilized many of the suggestions of the Fast 5 vets.

Although I'm ha.vine success I do sometimes feel really hungry 2-4 hours before my fast ends. I realize that may be due to what I eat the day before and I'm going to make some adjustments there. I also have found munching on a pickle helps a lot as well. Are there any other types of food I could eat besides pickle that can carry me through a particular tough day besides pickles (ie lettuce, chicken broth, celery) that won't negatively impact my fast?  I was thinking maybe even a small piece of protein (jerky) may also be good but would love to get any additional suggestions.

Thanks

Paul
