Hi all.
I have been doing fast5 for almost 2 years now. It has been terrific for me in a lot of ways. I am not focused on the actual number of my weight or even the inches, just getting healthy and this seems to be working for the most part.
I was working with a traditional nutritionist and dietician, I did everything they told me including the food journal. They couldn't figure out why I would gain weight and was very sick to my stomach from feeling over full all the time.
At any rate, when I found fast5 a lot of my issues changed and I lost 75 lbs. Unfortunately, do to personal issues causing way too much stress I started gaining back some of that weight. Luckily no inches with it, so that is why I don't even look at the numbers anymore.
Well getting (finally) to my issue. Over the last 4 months or so, I have noticed that over full feeling coming back in the mornings. My window is 6:30pm to 11:30pm because of my job monday to friday. Saturday and Sunday I generally eat earlier. I also don't use the full 5 hours as I don't need to. Much like Heather suggested, I do spread my meal out.
I start with a nice salad of dark leafy greens mixed with almonds or pine nuts and mixed with fresh berries (like blueberries or strawberries). After I have my salad, I put together and cook my main meal. Now, I don't like meat at all especially red meat. So my main meal consists of things like fish (not shell fish), beans, quinoa, and stuff like that. After I have eaten and cleaned everything up, if I am still hungry (which almost never happens anymore), I tend to drink some herbal tea or water. I do drink lots of water.

Foods I cannot eat cause they either make me sick or I just don't like them at all include meats, cheeses, some veggies when cooked like spinach (can eat that raw, but not cooked), peanuts, milk, eggs, and foods like these.
I have been tested for all kinds of issues like my thyroid. But I come out healthy if over weight (obese by medical standards -- I am 5ft 3in and 199 lbs). My personal trainer doesn't think I am obese or over weight, I just have a lot of toning to do. :) :0)
At any rate, I am trying to figure out how I am feeling so sick in the morning and like I ate 5 times as much food as I really did. My total calories from what I eat generally is between 800 and 1000. Some of my doctors say I am not eating enough. But I am NOT hungry and if I eat more, I get that over full feeling and sick to my stomach.
Can anyone help? Give me some advise? I just don't want to feel sick or stuffed anymore. I feel fine after I have eaten, but not the next morning. :(
Sincerely
Jennifer Lupo, D.M.
