Re: [fast5] NEWBIE...........WHITE DRESS SCARES ME...LOL

Welcome to the group and this way of eating! And your upcoming nuptials! One advantage of Fast-5 is that you'll get more time to do wedding planning!

One bit of advice that works for me: try eggs! The Margaret Thatcher diet is 2 eggs for breakfast, 2 for lunch, then a normal dinner, and she lost a fair bit of weights in a short time. Marilyn Monroe and Bruce Lee both were big on eggs. Eggs are a big deal in China and Japan, and they tend to be skinnier that Americans even when they eat more calories and get the same amount of exercise.

What I've found is that Fast 5, starting the meal with a 2 or 3 egg omelet or a salad with hard-boiled eggs in it, or a soup with eggs in it, works like a charm. There is something magic about eggs and weight loss. Egg protein happens to be the most complete protein, and the yolk has the nutrients a person needs (including some of the harder-to-get fatty acids).

2-3 hours after the "egg meal" I make dinner for the rest of the crew, and eat some of that too.

Fish is very good protein too, and I include that as much as I can. And loads of greens. Vinegar at the beginning of a meal tends to do good things for blood glucose control, which is one of the issues in weight loss ... so a salad with a vinegar dressing is a great way to break the fast.

Anyway, the most successful losers that have posted here seem to be the ones that get enough protein. If you break your fast with starches, sweets, or, say, fruit juice, it is easier to overeat and people tend to get hungrier the next day. Also some starches affect appetite differently than others ... for me, white rice works fine, but rice crackers tend to trigger my appetite.
