[fast5] Could fast 5 not be for me?

I tried fast 5 a year ago, and couldn't do it. I would get crazy hungry,
drink a bunch of water to reduce the hunger, then spend the rest of the
day peeing clear and having headaches. I think I was washing out my
electrolytes with all that water.

Two weeks ago I tried again. I drink a lot less water to stave off my
hunger. This time my problem is extreme weakness, which is solved when I
eat. I don't have this problem everyday, but I do some days. I'm
perplexed, because I eat a paleo diet, so it's not too many carbs. I eat
a lot of fat and protein and low sugar/ starch veggies. I feel like I'm
eating heartily and very well...

Perhaps my body needs more time to get used to the fasting? Or maybe
it's just not good for everyone?

I suppose it's hard to know what is going on, without knowing *exactly*
what I eat, and how my health is.

I can give one example: Sunday my window was 3p to 8p. I ate a quiche
with salmon, veg soup made with homemade gelatinous broth, nuts, crab
meat, dates.

Monday, the hunger was astronomical. I opened my window at 3p with 1½
cups crab meat. I felt soooo tired. I wanted to wait to eat dinner with
my friend for the rest of my food. By 6p I was shaking and felt I was
going to faint. I finally ate at 645p and felt great after that.

I don't want to spend my days starving and tired... this happens more
often than not. Today I'm feeling hungry and energy is getting low.

Any ideas?

[fast5] Re: Energy and Other Effects of Fasting

I generally run my errands in the late afternoon, so I guess it'd be anywhere from the 16-19 hour period. That's not to say I wouldn't feel it earlier, I just always have to be at a desk at that time.

[fast5] Re: Energy and Other Effects of Fasting

There have been periods of my life where I was significantly fitter than I am today. I ran regularly and lifted, though I hated every pavement-pounding stride and never understood that "runner's high" folks spoke of.

...until a few weeks ago when, on a routine errand to mail a letter, I couldn't help but run rather than walk, because my legs were itching to burn energy and it just FELT SO GOOD. I've *never* felt this sensation before, this *joy* in exerting my body, and yet, but all rights I should be sluggish and weak.

Not eating is awesome. :D

Hi,

I am in total agreement, my energy is through the roof and I think clearer, as well. I am more confident, as I feel 100% better and this spills over into all areas of my life. Who would have thought that gaining control over food and your intake could cause such a positive effect in your life. It's also a nice side effect to be complimented (daily) by others about your appearence!

I believe I am having some success but have only been on it for a couple weeks. My pants fit better and I lost a few pounds. I am down to 160 and have a goal of getting my waist a bit smaller. I am wearing size 34 pants and want to get into size 32 as my next goal. I also would like to see more definition in my body makeup (less fat). I lift weights to maintain the muscle. >

[fast5] Re: Hot Flashes sure cooled down this List

For the most part my window is 3-8 PM. Often I'm busy at 3 and start late, but I seldom go beyond 8.

That's when I'm not cheating :-)

I've been eating Fast-5 for about 17 months and lost most of my 55 lbs in the first 6 months. I'm male, over 50 and have been kind of stuck around 188 lbs for a few months. While I would like to get down to around 175, I am about at the weight I was when I graduated college; 175 would be close to the weight I was when on a swimming team in high school. So 175 might be overly ambitious. I actually feel pretty good at my current weight and don't really worry if social events (or other goodies) occasionally have me eating outside my window. But I haven't let this become a habit.

I've probably cut out some carbs and have increased protein and fat, I don't ever think plan too much about what I'm eating. But I do usually break my fast with a piece of cheese while preparing the rest of my meal. It seems to get me started on the right foot. Breaking a fast with sweets always leaves me hungry, eating lots of sweets that day and the next and gaining weight.
