Thanks everybody for your replies!
I'm doing 2-7pm now which fits in with the evening eating pattern of my partner too. It's going pretty well although I'm lucky in that I don't find it hugely difficult to avoid food up until around 12pm.
Eating protein when you come off the fast is great advice. I've lost a lot of weight in the past by fasting, and noticed this back then. For me at least, pure protein is a sledgehammer when it comes to hunger.
I'm vegan so the only real choice (short of cooking some tofu) is nuts, although with my previous weight loss I also used to eat roasted redskin almonds.
Nuts and almonds are high in calories but it's worth remembering that they satiate the appetite like nothing else. If a 500 calorie packet of peanuts keeps me going until the main evening meal then there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Nuts also have quite a bit of fibre too, especially if you can eat the skins, and I like the idea of being satiated on only a small physical quantity of food — it keeps my belly empty and my digestion works only a little. Therefore I feel more nimble.
The only other thing I'd say is that chewing sugar-free gum is fine for me although I need to do this anyway to avoid bad breath because of GERD syndrome, so I guess my stomach is typically churning anyway.

[fast5] Re: New member and question
Thanks!
I managed to hold out until 2:52pm today - no lozenges either! I'm well proud of myself.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Slip Up is normal. I have found that my best way to succeed is to drink lots of water with flavoring like mio. Plain water doesn't work but the flavoring makes my body think I got something and it calms the hunger pangs. I don't know if the lozenge is ok

Hello everyone! I am so excited to be a part of this community. It's weird but I haven't been this excited about a diet in a long time. :)
Today is my 3rd day and I've had my slip ups (that's normal, right?). Yesterday, my stomach grumbled so much that I snacked on some peanuts at 1:30 even though I was really pushing for a 3pm start. After that snack though, I didn't eat again until 4 (some blueberries) and I had dinner at 7 and snacked a bit more about 8. I know, way beyond the 5 hour mark but if it helps, I really didn't overeat either. Anyway, I'm hoping with each day I get a little better at this.
This morning I woke up with a sore/scratchy throat and would like to have some sugar free lozenges. Are those ok to have before your start time?
Thanks for your help!

Re: [fast5] Re: Moving the five hours
| I have a hard time keeping my 5 hour window due to working overnights 2 nights a week and then swing 3 nights a week...my biggest fast happens to be from when I go to bed until I get ready for work, about 8-10 hours but then I end up overeating on the 3 days I do my swing because I'm usually asleep when I do my overnights...my boss is trying to kill me!
