[fast5] RE: RE: Starting over

 

 "I am new to this and have just one question. During my fast window time would I be permitted to have bulletproof coffee which is with butter and coconut oil. Sorry I dont know where to post this question. I am to understand that there is to be zero carbs during the fast period. Thank you"

As Heather said, you are allowed to have anything that has less than 5 calories if you're so hungry you can't wait until the eating window opens.  Having said that, I've been doing this for almost five years and at a certain point, I decided that (for myself) I do have a bulletproof coffee every now and then.  Keeps me completely full all day with energy to spare.  I think the whole point of this WOE is that it keeps your calories down, keeps your insulin low, and blood sugar within normal limits over the course of your lifetime.  Bulletproof coffee doesn't raise insulin or blood sugar in most people, but if you have a certain metabolism where caffeine gives you a huge adrenaline/cortisol rush, you could very well be raising insulin as well. It's up to the individual, but most people don't have adverse effects.  If you're just starting the program, I would stick to the plan as it's laid out in the book.  Over time, if you want to experiment and try some BPC and see how it affects you, I think that would be a good idea.  This WOE really allows you to learn YOUR body- what it likes and what it doesn't.

 Elsie,

Glad you're back on track. I make my calories count by eating nourishing foods and avoid junk foods that leave me just wanting more.

Eat plenty of protein! I think that's the trick to getting through the day without being hungry. Fish and eggs, especially, are hunger-killers. Eat your protein before the rest of the meal ... save dessert until last. Over the years I've observed people here, that is the one theme that keeps coming up: more protein, less sweets, corrals hunger.

If you do get hungry, try lemon juice in tea (or in water), or a bit of vinegar in water. Both of those are kind of magical during a fast. Vitamin C and citric acid are both good too.

Eating plenty of vegies is good too. Fiber does fill you up, and it also does good things for your gut, and gives you loads of nutrients. 

Certain foods seem to trigger "the hungries" the next day. I think sugary foods are the worst in that respect, but finely ground-flour products may be bad too. Steamed rice seems fine for me though.

Hello,

I am new to this yahoo group. Starting over with fast 5 tomorrow. I began a few months ago and then began to waiver and then tried other things. But my experience with fast 5 that I had for two months is enough. Tomorrow is day one and I am starting Fast 5 again with a new appreciation and determination.

If anyone would like to comment on what they have done to get back on track (emotionally or mentally) that would be appreciated.

Talk soon.

Elsie
