They gas the mice and dissect them.
This is SCIENCE!
Microfasting works as well. If you eat within a six hour window, and dont eat the other 18, it triggers fasting benefits. Some people,may find starting with this easier.
The other night I mis judged my insulin shot.
I woke up three hours later with a gbl of 46. I was sweating and shaking, and it took me a few minutes to figure it out.
Yikes. That was a first. I don’t want there to be a second.
FAKE NEWS
Can’t work if there’s no money in it for doctors or drug companies.
And yes, I understand all the caveats about experiments in mice. Still, as far as I know it's such a new avenue of research that I can't help but be excited.
“Microfasting works as well. If you eat within a six hour window, and dont eat the other 18, it triggers fasting benefits. Some people,may find starting with this easier.”
Agree. I started by skipping breakfast, then skipping breakfast and lunch (most of my adult life...hell, my dog did the same), then a whole day. My longest is 9 days...and that’s zero calories per day, 9 days straight.
Oh yea, I didn’t bother asking any ‘medical professionals’ for permission as I know they have the right to have me confined against my will for 72 hours (minimum).
The fasting used in this study was a specific type, not similar to various type of religious fastng.
In some type 1 diabetics who are unable to detect when their blood glucose is going dangerously low, they are implanted with replacement beta cells. In order for this to work they then have to take immune-suppressant drugs to keep their bodies from attacking the implanted cells, leaving them open to opportunistic infections. Not a good trade-off for most T1 Diabetics. Just regrowing beta cells is not a solution for T1.
bttt
I know two people who have done this and it worked. One of them also used the warrior diet (eating once a day). I told my dad about it but he would rather eat whatever and bitch about the diabetes.
American Diabetes Association is full of crap.
Obesity is associated with diabetes, sure, but sugar especially fructose sugar plugs up the liver and is converted to triglyceride and fat. It is the kind of fat you don’t burn up because your body is running on sugar. So sugar causes insulin resistance first and then the obesity and diabetes follow.
20% of obese people are metabolically healthy, whereas 40% of thin people are metabolically screwed up. Even thin people can have fatty liver and insulin resistance.
30% of adults have no problem with sugar. 70% of us should avoid sugar as much as possible.
If you eat sugar you will only burn sugar. If you want to lose body fat it is better to eat ketogenic along with periodic fasting to reset your insulin resistance.

I'm wondering how many readers took note of your comment and followed your link. And how many encountered a flash of understanding, did some further research, and changed their lives or the lives of family, friends, acquaintances and neighbors, and how many of these went on to contribute to their communities instead of plateauing out in their lives.
You are like the mythical butterfly in Brazil, maybe it caused a tornado in Texas, maybe now. You are that butterfly in this thread, and I thank you profusely for your post.
Did you post this before? I read about this a while ago and have been controlling my weight ever since with very little inconvenience by doing this, except for five hours instead of six, eat all you want during that window. And you don't have to do it every day to get the benefits, you go out for dinner and pig out once in a while and your body adjusts. FR is good for you body too, who knew.
Diabetes bump
Har. Thanx for the real life perspective!!
Thanks.
I would recommend Drs. Richard Johnson (The Fat Switch) Robert Lustig(Fat Chance) Frank Lyons (Fructose Exposed) and Jason Fung (The Complete Guide to Fasting). They have some excellent You Tubes. Check out Jeff Volek and Steve Finney too.
Jason Fung is easy to understand. I took his advice on low-carb and fasting. I dropped over 40 pounds and look and feel better than I have in over 30 years.
I just get angry when I think about all the stupid professional advice I got that was killing me.
A true fast is not eating, and just changing your eating habits to the night time.
Corrected from above:
They eat in the moonlight. Sleeping during the sunlight.
At times they stuff themselves during the moonlight and fast during the sunlight. The more devout only eat, not party.
A true fast, as practiced by most observant Jews and Christians is not eating, and only drinking water, not just changing your eating habits so you only eat at night time.
That being said a loss of weight tends to bring about an end to Type 2 diabetes in many people.
