Hello! Just thought I'd introduce myself here.
Just wanted to say that somehow...I think it was a review on Amazon somewhere...
person had mentioned "Fast-5." I found the free book, downloaded it, and thought "well,
why not try this experiment."
I decided to try Fast-5 mainly because he voiced something that I've known for a while: I
have a strong fear of hunger. Feeling hungry usually induces me to think "i have to eat
right now before I really get hungry", and then I end up eating and eating and eating.
I've been on Fast-5 for three days now, and I finally feel like I'm getting the best of many
worlds: 1) dealing with the fear of hunger (surprisingly only for a few minutes at a time a
few times a day before my break-fast), 2) being able to enjoy tasty, wonderful food and
feel full and satisfied (I don't eat two meals during my time period, I eat one big meal
involving homecooked goodness and my "dessert": plain yogurt, banana, nuts, and a bit of
chocolate syrup! and 3) Actually reducing my calorie intake because of the lack of
"grazing" and mindless eating.
My husband, once I told him, looked at me worriedly and gave me a hug and said he didn't
like the idea of me starving myself. I told him not to worry, to trust me, I wasn't starving
myself (nor do I want to do that to my body). Have any of your family members or friends
thought you were starving yourself? Did they eventually understand was going on?
