Hi. I am new on here. I am on my 4 th day of fast 5. This plan has really helped me stop my food and calorie obsessing. I have 5-8 pounds to lose. I have already lost 3. So glad to have found this plan and group.
I'm sorry for the long delay in posting your message. I missed the notice that you had submitted it and didn't see that it was awaiting approval until today.
Hello I started Fast five three days ago and am eating from 13.45 to 18.45 and providing I don't try and cram a days food in the window I think its going to work well, as I eat all day normally and far too much resulting in a fatty liver etc. One thing I have noticed which surprised me is that my blood sugar in the morning is the usual fasting level expected but as I get more and more hungry during the period of reaching my window my blood sugar goes up. I am only drinking water and a cup of black coffee .
I am not diabetic but have access to a bg monitor . Can anyone explain ?
Many thanks Paul

Hello Fast-5ers --
I haven't joined in the conversation in the group for a number of years. Some of you may remember me from Judi's Fast-5 Trek. Enough time has passed that I couldn't access my original user information, so I registered as a new user. I'll have to talk to Bert about how to reconcile the two, but that's not my priority right now.
I'm writing today to thank this community for taking action yesterday when the intermittent fasting story was aired on The Diane Rehm Show. Many of you commented on the program's blog and the wife of one of the Yahoo group members even called into the show. That was gold!!!
It has amplified awareness substantially as demonstrated by increased traffic to the Fast-5 website, an increase in the number of people requesting to join the Facebook public and private groups and in generating traffic to the YouTube video produced and released by the D.I.E.T. Life Network on The Real Fast-5 YouTube channel.
In the aftermath of the NPR flurry, it occurred to me that this group would benefit from an introduction to some of the activities underway to help push Fast-5 further into the mainstream. As a nonprofit with no staff except two volunteers (Bert and me), Fast-5 could use some help. That's where D.I.E.T.Life Network came onto the scene.
The D.I.E.T. Life Network was inspired by Dr. Bert Herring's TEDx talk during which he recast the word "diet" as an acronym for Did I Enrich Today? He left the audience with a call to action that was brilliant in my opinion. He suggested that every time they see the word "diet" on newsstands or other places, they ask themselves the question, "Did I Enrich Today?"
It is in that spirit that we've expanded the conversation beyond the Fast-5 way of eating to encompass the Fast-5 way of life --- an enriched life with generous yield in the form of non-scale victories. By including Fast-5 as a featured resource, D.I.E.T. Life Network is able to introduce Fast-5 to those looking for enrichment resources, even if intermittent fasting would not typically be something they might consider to be enriching.
Some of the content that may be of interest to members of this group include:
This is a long post, so I'll wrap up. Congratulations on the many years you've committed to this way of life and thank you for your contribution to Fast-5's growth. I hope you all have a fun, productive and healthy 2014!!
All the best,
Judi
I heard the show and was pleasantly surprised to hear someone asking about Fast-5! Many, many thanks to you and your wife for your support! That was great! Happy New Year to you and to the group!
Happy New Year!
Diane Rehm had some folks on her show today discussing intermittent fasting. My wife called in at one point and asked what they thought about Fast-5. :)
