That’s not how I did it, but I have been doing the 16 hour fasting for several months now.
Back in 2016 I decided to get healthy as I was beginning to experience type 2 symptoms and wasn’t feeling very well.
After some research, I went the method of “resetting” my hunger trigger and insulin production.
I ate a simple salad with just lettuce for 3 straight weeks. This was exceptionally difficult, but I stuck to it.
At this point, I still needed to shed a lot of weight, but I was already feeling better, and my appetite was no longer constant and persistent. This pretty much ended all of the type 2 symptoms I was feeling.
After those 3 weeks, I started a Keto diet and the weight more or less melted off of me.
Type 2 symptoms haven’t returned, and I’m doing my best to keep the weight off.
Best thing I ever did for my health.
Great info, thx P.
My thinking on diabetes is,
1. keep weight in normal range
2. stay active daily
3. do not snack all day long, best to just eat 2 meals.
At age 84, I feel athletic with zero medical issues.
Can mow large size lawn in Florida summers with a push mower.
Have not needed a doctor for 25 years. But I do get blood work done every 6 months, so I stop by at the HMO doctor every 6 months. Had a short bout with covid 2 years ago. My body fought it off in 36 hours without any medications. Had 3 jabs of vax in 2021.
