what a difference?!
I can see why fast 5 works for me. If i start eating early it is like there are no breaks. I decided to up my calories by eating breakfast and lunch.
omg, I'm already at 970. That is 500 calories a meal. for breakfast: 1 bowl high fiber cereal 1 1/2 cups milk 1/2 cup prunes 1 serving lunch 2 slices 15 grain whole wheat bread 1 pc cheese 5 slices turkey mayo 1 tsp tomato, onion, baby spinach dorito chips 1 serving 1 50 cs cookie when I do fast 5 I can barely eat 1350 calories. I am allowing my calories to go up to 1600 today. I will reach that easily if I eat another 500 cs meal and a snack! |
Never heard of the diet- how does it work? Just curious :)
|
1 1/2 cups of cereal is a lot of cereal and carbs. Try FF cheese instead and diet bread, lite mayo, skim milk. That would save you a lot of cals.

Thanks Annie, I am just not a fan of diet foods. I'd rather eat less than eat them. Plus I needed the fiber in that cereal.
I haven't been snacking at all...just drinking my green tea. So I am pretty sure I will be ok and make 1600 cs. Beerab, fast-5 is where you only eat 5 hours a day. I usually start at 3pm and stop at 8 pm or 2pm til 7pm. |
Oh... I don't think I could do that lol. But sounds interesting. I'd probably binge for five hours :(
|
lol..beerab! heh. I thought I would too. It is interesting isn't it?
|
I follow you with interest, Jendiet, not in a stalkerish way but because I can't imagine eating that way so I find it interesting. I need to have 900 calories between breakfast and lunch or I have difficulty functioning (and most people like their attorney to be able to function....)
Just a note about the disclaimer on their site: Quote:

you can follow me all you want seagirl. I don't mind.
Well I topped out at 1700 still less than maintenance but a good pinch over 1200-1300 I have been getting. I'm going back to fast-5 tomorrow to see if I can't jog my metabolism a little. |
Hey Jen, are you green teaing it from 7a until 3p? How long are you WAITING to eat?
Lately I need to eat something within 2 to 3 hours of waking up. you sound happy and enthusiatic. I'm psyched for you. :) |
thank you. I am happy and enthusiastic about this. For the first time in 3 years I am winning THIS BATTLE. I wish the rest of my life were going as smooth as my diet thing! God will never put more on me than I can bear.
I actually have not been drinking tea, just water with lemon until 3 pm. I just stay busy and DRINK THAT WATER. When my window is 3pm-8 pm. My stomach usually starts growling at 9 am. That passes though. Then around 1pm I get another hunger kick. The signals die down and then I can make it to 3 pm with very mild hunger. So if I finish dinner at 8pm. I do not eat again until 3pm the next day. That should be 19 hours. During my eating window I drink green tea because it is lightly sweetened with honey. I could just drink plain green tea during my fasting hours though. |
