Re: [fast5] Re: New to Fast-5, Question about Metabolism?

I suppose over all I *am* eating less because there is no mindless snacking anymore. And I always mentally minimized that. Also these days I am doing very low carb so that changes things considerably. But I am going to great lengths to be sure that each of my two meals contains the proper amount of protein for me and plenty of good fat. I just realized that I was not getting enough protein into my first meal and maybe not consistantly enough fat. So today at noon I had 4 eggs ( ours are smallish) cooked in bacon fat, 4 slices of bacon, and a lamb kidney, along with 1/3 cup blueberries and 3 T coconut shreds, plus another spoonful of creamed coconut. NOT a low cal meal...and I will still have my dinner.

still eat the same number of calories as before? since you are eating in a smaller window,
you just naturally consume fewer calories, right?
