Hi
I'm vegetarian, sometime struggling type of Vegan. Just can't always resist cheese and chocolate! I do also eat free range eggs so I guess I am really only a vegetarian but trying to be vegan.
I don't find the Fast5 hard, I have had some hard times, for example I started eating badly, just ganniting junk food and then I have trouble lasting the next day until my eating window again. I'm pretty much back on track now and find if I feel hungry it's normally thirst so I find black coffee or green tea gets rid of it.
My diet isn't brilliant but I always break my fast with a few pieces of fruit and a small bowl of nuts. I do eat load of veggies too but do snack on crisp breads and peanut butter or rice cakes and the odd bar of chocolate, bag of crisps. I'm pretty sure I eat too much in my window but I'm lucky enough that at the moment I'm only trying to maintain my weight as I don't need to lose any and I'm continuing to do that on Fast5.
I do quite a bit of exercise, mostly in the form of walking, I walked 18 miles last sunday on only a bottle of water and 2 cups of coffee and survived without any problems! I'm doing a 25 mile walk tomorrow and the temperature is supposed to be over 30degrees so will have to drink more fluids. I will take a banana or something with me in case I do feel faint and/or weak but hope not to need it.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say in a rambling roundabout sort of way, is that I haven't found it hard doing Fast5 as a vegetarian but do eat lots of nuts for my protein.

Subject: [fast5] Vegetarian/Vegan?
Hello again everyone
I'm new to this Fast-5 method and intrigued, it goes against so much the grain!!!! But I do water fasting so I'm used to go against the accepted ideas.
So my question is would such a program be compatable with a vegetarian/vegan diet
I'm asking since it seems to mean a big diminution of calorie intakes which my eating habits already entails.
So are there any Vegans / Vegetarians here on this group who can share their experiences?
Thanks a million
