[fast5] Hello Fast 5ers

I am a 65 y/o white male who lost 75 lbs in 1 yr drinking 2 cans of Slim-Fast and 1 meal at night along with an arduous 6-day workout. That was a year ago. Then crashed and burned and gained back 50 lbs. Everything I've read about Fast 5 jibes with my own experience minus the diet drinks. Starting today.

[fast5] Re: Binge Eating HELP!

Hi Esther,

I have been through the same and I think it's just to be expected. Do you get close to the end of the window and even if you are full to burst think, oh I must eat! or tomorrow I'll be starved! Even if you know that it's not true and you'll only feel sick for eating too much... It's happened to me quite a bit but now it seems to have stopped.

This is what I'm doing anyway: on weekdays (the gym that I go to is near my office), I eat something light enough at 5pm to still be able to exercise, such as a salad and a banana. I go workout, even if it's a light workout for 1/2 hour by the time I change, I use the gym, I shower and dress, etc. at least an hour is gone. Then I have to make my way home so that's another 45 minutes. All of this is in the eating window and it's all time where I'm not eating. Then, once I get home, I have a proper meal and eat anything I want. I think that any activity that stops you from eating during the 5 hour window (once you had something to break fast of course) could work, such as going for a walk or to see a movie (without buying snacks).

Another thing that I've done three days ago, when I was worried that I was eating too much, was to register on a site that offers free diet tools (nutrition tracker, fitness tracker and so on) that I saw mentioned on an archived post here, sparkpeople.com, and entered the foods that I'm eating to see the calories. You might see that even if you think that you binged, the actual calories that you ate are still a bit below the amount that you'd need to maintain weight, and if they aren't - they would be by removing just a little from what you are eating. In any case it can provide you with an objective indication of whether you are bingeing or not; on fast-5 it seems easier to feel full for some reason.

Good luck.

Re: [fast5] Binge Eating HELP!

I think the Warrior Diet method works really well:
break your fast with a big salad. Lettuce, vinegar or vinegrette,
plus olives and anything else you can think of. Pig out on it!

The fiber in the salad, and the vinegar, do magic on your
"I gotta eat" cravings. Lots of munching too. If you can't
do a salad, eating a raw carrot and a Tbls. of vinegar
in water can work also.

Followed by a good soup. (you can use a soup instead
of salad, optionally).

Then I would do cooked vegies (tho for me this is sometimes
mixed with my meat: AKA stir fry).

THEN your meat/protein.

Followed by starches, if you can still eat any. Potatoes,
rice.

Last, some dessert if you still have room.


The main thing is to eat soup or salad first. Restaurants
discovered this long ago: if you eat those two first, you
don't care so much how big the main meal is. Both have
been shown to change your hunger levels a lot, though
for different reasons.

There are also other ideas, such as konjac, which works
by filling up your stomach and making you full faster.
Salad and soup are probably the easiest though.

[fast5] Re: Regards from a new member in Germany :-)

Wow, Kirsteen, 80!! pounds! This is more than 36 kgs!
Congratulations! :-)
I hope for a weight loss of 20 kgs = 44 pounds (I found a internet converter!) in the short term and subsequently further 10 kgs, if possible. We will see.....
I do not need starchy carbs in my daily nutrition any more, but from time to time I use to enjoy some ice cream or a glas of red wine. But until I will have achieved my goal weight, these treats will only be very rare exceptions. Until then I will stick to Fast-5 and LC.

About my forgetfulness: Until now I caught up to post #1617 and possibly some information got mixed up in my brain.... ;-)
Have a nice weekend!:-)
Gemma

Because I have read such a lot of posts in the last few days I cannot remember your progresses. How much weight did you loose with Fast-5/LC? Glad to correspond with you (and everyone!)! :-)

Don't worry, I forget everything too :-). All in all I've lost just over 80 pounds. I don't want to lose anymore. Although I tend to both LC and Fast5, Fast 5 has become much more important to me. I'll sometimes eat more carbs now but I do like sticking to Fast5

Cheers

[fast5] Binge Eating HELP!

Hello everyone, I'm Esther, and I've just joined this group^^
I've been going on and off with Fast-5, but this week I managed to stay on it consistantly! The problem is... when my eating window opens, I simply just, binge eat! I overeat everything in my view and I feel like I have to throw it all up. It feels nauseating =(
I know my body may be trying to adjust and all, but overeating can't go on forever can it? I'm scared that my 19 hour fasts wont do me justice and my overeating will take over my life! Please, I really need encouragements...and if anyone doesn't mind, please do tell if anyone else is going through a dilemma like this too =(
Insipiration and motivation stories are strongly suggested! D=

Thank you so much...

[fast5] Re: Regards from a new member in Germany :-)

Good luck, Karen, checking how to use both LC and Fast-5 in benefit for your body. :-)
As I understand insulin plays a very important role in this. Eating carbs causes increase of blood sugar and due to this insulin, then afterwards blood sugar is getting low and hunger starts, you will eat carbs and so on and on and on. You surely can google for this, I cannot recommend any books available in the U.S.( I cannot believe I explain this in English!) For me LC is the solution, but LC meals can be very tasty but high caloric... which leads to Fast-5.
Hava a nice day!
Gemma
