You might want to validate which "10 pounds" you are losing. If you are running and it is fat, it will probably go away when you start running. It's also possible that your body is hoarding water, or that you've gained muscle.
Anyway, what I do is track how "satiating" each meal is: how fast I get full, how my stomach feels, how I feel an hour later or the next day. If you look in the archives, most people find that adding more protein helps, and some people swear by more fat.
I've been doing the Fast 5 diet for almost one month. I've only lost about 3 pounds (probably because of eating like a crazy woman once my window opens). I have a couple of questions:
1. when did your appetite start to decrease?
2. I'd like to begin running (again) starting tomorrow. Are there any special considerations?
I'm 5'7" and currently weigh 137, which isn't overweight, but is 10 lbs higher than I was one year ago. I'd like to lose those 10 lbs.
thanks for the help! I'm glad i found this group. my friends think I'm crazy, but there are other crazies out there fasting like I am! woo hoo!!!
