I have been doing a one day/week fast, cut out all sugar, grains, and other high carb foods.
As of today, I've lost 36 pounds in 22 weeks.
I had to be patient, which I never had been in the past. Other than the one day fast, I didn't restrict calories but filled up on protein and veggies.
But I've lost 6 inches in my waist and from what I've read, regular fasting along with low carbs (ie the wheat belly thing)

Well this time I am sure fast 5 is the answer.
Last time I tried it a year ago I was pretty daft, I ate like crazy in the five hours as much as I would normally eat and it resulted in no weight loss and a unsettled stomach .
This time I am eating healthily. I noticed after day one I got constipated so I have made up a muesli with no sugar, lots oats, bran, psyllium, flax and chia seed, nuts and goji with a little organic raw cocao powder. I have this for my break fast and have a little rice milk and non fat yoghurt plus frozen blueberries and raspberries.
Later I have couple of slices of swiss cheese and 2-4 rice cakes.
I have a glass of red wine and a few mixed raw nuts.
I end my five hour period with a salad or steam vegies and canned salmon or tuna. More recently a healthy curry of vegies from the garden.
It sounds a lot but being male and quite tall I can eat 1800 to 2000 calories and still lose weight.
My weight is going down slowly but a little each day.
The only hard time is waiting for my window to open as I do get hungry but I know the hunger is doing me good.
I drink water but first thing in the morning I have about 700mls water with a fresh lemon squeezed in it. Later a black caro/coffee.
Feeling good so far. Paul
