Tue, 25 Mar 2008 16:12:55 +0000 http://www.traineo.com/9_4631_0.htmlHi Kathy, As I've returned to F5-ing for a while now, (though with a break for the last week, which I always do once a month), I'll share that I usually fast with non-caloric beverages only, and mostly water. However, if it's an exercise day I will always follow the workout with a few hundred macro-balanced calories. I also like to cycle the amounts of calories from day to day, though not in an extreme manner and again never during that time. ...http://www.traineo.com/9_4631_0.htmlTue, 25 Mar 2008 16:12:55 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_4631_0.htmlWhen fasting - what about liquids (coffee and water) or is it just food that you avoid? Just curioushttp://www.traineo.com/9_4631_0.htmlTue, 25 Mar 2008 14:06:56 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_4631_0.htmlFTR, I'm most familiar with the JUDDD method, which is based more on just zig-zagging one day up and one day down with the calories--with no particular accent on the amount of hours between nibbles. I've also done a little "Fast5-ing", (that's eating within a 5 hour window), with much success too. Nowadays though--as I'm not trying to lose anymore, I usually just eat normally, (a few wee meals every few hours as a rule), trying to keep the cals. healthful, in ...http://www.traineo.com/9_4631_0.htmlTue, 15 Jan 2008 11:22:03 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_4631_0.htmlAngie, Most IFers work out their own schedule of a fasting time and an eating window. Some people favor a 23hr fast with a one hour eating window, others do variations like 22/2, 21/3, 20/4. The benefits of fasting seem to kick in after about 18 hours. It's not as long as it sounds, because of course you're sleeping for a good chunk of the fasting time. For example, yesterday I finished eating at 4:30pm, and didn't eat again until dinner tonight at 6pm. I will close the windo...http://www.traineo.com/9_4631_0.htmlTue, 15 Jan 2008 00:22:10 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_4631_0.htmlWhat's the definition of fasting in this case? How long or how do you go about depriving yourself of food?http://www.traineo.com/9_4631_0.htmlMon, 14 Jan 2008 17:06:00 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_4631_0.htmlI've noodled with it in the past with much success, though I've never kept it up for long periods of time. I still do implement it now and then, most often following a day of enjoyment. Like the Fins with their, "balance days". http://www.traineo.com/9_4631_0.htmlMon, 14 Jan 2008 16:34:41 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_4631_0.htmlJust wondering!
