Hi @ all!
First I want to apologize for all mistakes I will make in my posts due to writing in English.... hope you will indulge... :-)
Next I want to thank all members for their appreciated postings. I have already read a lot and all posts are very informative, especially the early ones. Everybody learned from the other! Great start! Und very kind group. :-)
Now I want to introduce myself: Female, 52, started fast-5 6 days ago, cold turkey. Last 3 years I ate low carb. This stopped my continuous weight gaining resulting from "healthy" 5 meals/day with lots of "healthy" carbs and cured my metabolism which I ruined by lots of very low calorie diets to stop the weight gaining caused by.... see above.... :-((
I lived happily with high fat and protein and low carb, enjoyed a lot of tasty meals and learned that this way of eating is very good for me, but now I decided that I want to loose some weight to become lean again. I hope to loose 20 kgs this year and next year.... whatever this leads to.
Because I lived LC I have no big problems with the fasting period. Before I had some longer periods between meals because potein and fat are very satiable for me, but my meals contained to much calories for a constant weight loss. Only second day was hard for me until I checked my teas I usually drink during the day and stated that they provide about 2 cal/cup. I was very surprised that this small quantity could cause hunger! Ok, now I stick to plain teas without any fruits and no problems here anymore.
Only problem will be in the job (I'm at home in the moment to recover from a surgery) because until now I promoted LC due to health benefits and next I will promote a new diet which is rather contrary to my prevoius WOE, or only complementary?
Of course my break fast is LC, carbs only from veggies and salads and some fruits in desserts. I use to eat only one meal within a window of 2 hours because my window opens when I start to prepare dinner and I'm afraid that there will not enough calories in this one meal because I'm satuated in very short time. I will watch this.
Thanks for listen to my story!
