Re: [fast5] Re: Moving the five hours

The hours don't seem to make a difference for people. But the content and/or order of eating does make a difference.

What seems to work the best is to break your fast with either:

-- A salad (lots of greens, and vinegar in the salad dressing. Vinegar does interesting things in terms of weigh loss and blood sugar control. Or soup for variety.

-- Protein. This satisfies. The best protein sources for this are eggs and fish. Of course boiled or pickled eggs and smoked salmon on a big salad is ideal! The body has a certain need for protein, and if it doesn't get it, it keeps the appetite going.

-- Make sure you get the essential fatty acids.

-- Follow the initial course with your main protein and vegies. Vegies do good stuff for ongoing satiety.

-- Follow that sometime later with starchy stuff (i.e. save dessert for last).

Eating in courses is a nice habit in any case. Enjoying the meal is another good habit. Savor it. Also good is making sure you get enough vitamins ... if you lack those, I think it increases your appetite.

Gorging on lots of starch doesn't work well at all. The body still craves "the other stuff" ... the fibers and protein, and then people get hungrier the next day. Fructose doesn't work for some people either, probably because of inability to process it correctly.

Are there any differences in weight loss depending on when the five hour window falls?

I ask because the book talks about maintaining the fast that happens during sleep, but as far as I can see once you've got used to the five hour window and don't binge then you're simply reducing calories down to around 1000-1500 per day — always good for weight loss no matter what the plan!

For what it's worth I am genuinely interested in the plan for long-term calorie reduction but right now am focusing on losing weight.
