Hi, all. I'm on day day 6 of the fast-5 plan and hoping for good
results. I'm type II diabetic, and although the book says diabetics
shouldn't engage in this plan, I suspect we are the first who should.
I'm encouraged by what I've read. I hope to see much lower fasting
blood glucose levels in the morning as my body heals, and of course,
losing weight will be a nice bonus. I could stand to lose 70-80 lbs.
At this particular moment, I'm more hungry right now than I usually am
while in the fasting phase. That could be because I have a roast in the
crockpot (smells amazing) and because I made my daughter an egg and
vegetable dish before she headed off to work. This is the most I've
been exposed to food while fasting this week. And now my son has put a
pizza in the oven. That isn't going to help.
The hunger doesn't really bother me though, and I'm surprised it
doesn't. I'm sure it's because I still eat everyday, and eat things
that satisfy. It is hunger without panic, which is a whole different
animal than the hunger of deprivation.
The biggest problem I have is that I am feeling a bit weak and foggy,
and I'm hoping, really hoping, these feelings are just temporary and
part of the adjustment period. I'd rather not 'treat' it by introducing
food before my eating window as a more gradual adjustment. Cold turkey
suits my personality better.
Anyway, that's where I'm at. And happy to be here.
