“after a year fasting 5 days a week.
Weight down 150 pounds.
BP went from 180/90 to 118/80
A1C from 6.8 to 5.4
Triglycerides went from 365 to 136
LDL from 138 to 43
HDL unchanged. Still a little low. 33
Doctor said Type 2 Diabetes is in remission.”

My hat is off to you. Well Done!

It is a spiritual triumph, as well as a physical one.

It reflects great credit on you.

I actually enjoy fasting.
It started for spiritual rseasons, but the weight loss and health benefits became just as much a motivation.

I started with 10 or 15 day fasts, but my wife was so worrried I’d come off a fast and she wouldn’t have fixed enough supper for me, too. So I settled on a weekly schedule to make it easier on her.

I wasn’t public about it until the VP over my company approached me. People were concerned I had cancer because I was losing weight rapidly.

I have to admit working from home has messed me up. I’m planning to get back into my routine ASAP.
