Thanks again, Rick. I've printed out Fast5 ebook and will zoom thru it once
more.
I can't imagine surviving, however, on 1060 calories.
I had just over 1500 yesterday and I went to bed hungry.
I'd hoped to extend my fast at least till lunch time today (would've given
me a 17-hr fast) but I didn't make it past b-fast...
My carbs were under 20g, my protein was at 99g (26%) and fats were 121g
(69%).

...Fast-5 diet is designed around calorie restriction. It's a plan designed
to increase lifespan, provide good health, and to reset your appestat so you
don't WANT to eat much. So you need to find the amount of calories that
causes you to maintain your current weight and then reduce it by 25-40%.
Take that number and (in your case 1060) eat fats and proteins to get your
calories and I'll bet you'll do well. I mentioned cream in your coffee as
an example as most folks add small amounts of calories throughout the day
that add up to substantial daily additional calories. One of my favorite
taboos is to slice off a pat of butter and eat it like cheese, so yeah, I
have no problem with drinking cream. :) ...
