You can use my full name because this works. I've been running my mouth off about it.
I've tried Slimfast, I've tried Hydoxycut and Stacker-3. No success with any of them. I started Fast-5 on July 31st and was really impressed the first week when I was down from 245 to 238. Now I'm 228. I have no doubt I'll get to my goal weight of 180 -- that's what I was in the Corps. Everybody was telling me "You're losing it." I didn't really see it until we had a family picture done Sunday -- that's when I actually saw the difference in myself. It’s commonly simple – makes perfect sense of how it would work. The first couple of days I gorged myself...then got to the point my meals got smaller because I was filling quicker. Now I’m back to about the same size meal....I’m really impressed. |

In March of 2006 my sister handed me a thin book with big promises. She assured me that it had made her life easier and forced her to wear a belt with her newly too-big blue jeans. As an American who is pretty up on the pop-diet scene, I was naturally skeptical; cynical might even be a better word. I’ve tried a lot of them: low carb, low calorie, low fat, low sugar, and low food intake. With each I had success for a week – maybe two – then progress would come to a grinding halt. They all failed for a variety of reasons: they made me cranky, hungry and/or generally unpleasant. I’m 23, and I like life and food: Giving up any food group just wasn’t going to leave me fulfilled. So I set myself up for a life of yo-yoing: up five, down ten, up ten down five, and crossed my fingers that it wouldn’t lead to diabetes, heart disease or other complications later in life. My sister is a very persistent person and, after being hounded for a week or two, I read the book. At the end I pulled out my Anatomy and Physiology book from the nursing classes I had taken the semester before to make sure I was reading things right. This made sense…it was metabolically, completely founded in fact. More important, it actually sounded feasible. I wouldn’t be giving up the things I loved forever, or for as many months as it took to drop the weight. I only had to go without them for 19 hours, and 8 of those would be spent sleeping. Basically, I had to make it through my school day, and not be distracted by the vending machines. Even I could do that. I didn’t step onto the scale until the end of the first month. I was afraid of disappointment. I felt so good during the day. I didn’t feel bloated, stuffed or hungry. I actually felt lighter. I was afraid to step on the scale and find out it was all in my head. On the first of April I summoned the courage. I had lost 7 pounds! I was lighter! My body has made significant changes over the last four months. And now for the numbers that count: I’ve lost 31 lbs. (from 180 to 149) and am now wearing the same size I wore at my high school graduation. I dropped from a size 12 to a size 8. My blood pressure has gone from 125/80 to 118/72. I’m even more relaxed. My respiratory rate has gone from 14 breaths/min. to 10 breaths/min. Getting to this point hasn’t been drastic or scary: The weight has come off slowly and steadily. My body has morphed into a Fast-5 machine. It lets me know exactly when my fast is over. At Once past the first week (which I’ll admit was a little rough) it feels better on than off. My body craves the routine and the control. I feel so much better about myself. For special occasions we sometimes break early, and every time I lay in bed before sleeping thinking, “I can’t wait to get back on my fast tomorrow, back to normal and back to feeling amazing.” |
