Well, sounds like a good experiment! I can tell you from what I've read from various people posting, that you might not have to worry so much about "magic numbers" on Fast-5. Whatever the body is doing on this way of eating, it is different from the normal feeding algorithms in the books. Personally, when I'm "on a diet", my metabolism goes into a tailspin. On Fast-5, I actually eat quite a bit less, but my metabolism is doing fine, and I'm not hungry. Which doesn't make sense, except that I think I'm actually digesting food better, and insulin metabolism is different.
So anyway, your experience in the past might not hold true with this way of eating. If you read the archives, a lot of people do worry about the whole "starvation syndrome" thing because they appear to be eating too little, but this doesn't seem to cause a problem.

Oh I'm fat :) and trying to loose the weight. I am very muscular and actually large boned, but the weight I'm shooting for is the weight I was when I was 20% body fat, which was 125-130lbs. Right now I'm at 143lbs. I started out this year at 153lbs. The last 5lbs I've lost in the last few weeks using Fast 5. I'm really more going for fat loss not so much worrying about the physical body weight. I gained a lot of fat between 2008 & 2010. Unfortunately with a lot of viseral fat (fat inside the organs). Which is what I'm currently loosing. Although I still have quite a few inches of reg fat to loose too. That hasn't changed with the 5lbs I lost, but my stomach were the viseral fat pouch was has gone done significantly where I used to see my stomach pooch out is now an indent.
Anyway, the only reason I'm counting calories is because I need to loose weight/fat. In the past when I wasn't eating enough I would stall on my weight loss, even when I wasn't hungry. That magic caloric number was 1200 when I wasn't workign out and 1250-1400 when I was. So I wanted to keep my caloric intake within that range, so I would continue to loose weight properly.
Once I acheive my goal weight, I won't worry about it as much because I do feel as long as you are eating a lot of fruits and veggies and getting proper nutrition the number doesn't necessarily matter as much. 1000 calories of doughnuts is not in anyway nutritionally the same as a meal that has a lot of veggies, fruit, and protien.
