Good points andcol; not ignoring it exactly, just didn't know about it (or if I have read it, I've forgotten). Would something like intermittent fasting, 5:2, one meal a day or similar achieve the desired result? You mention fasting helps your control on the occasions when you need it. Do you feel that the long-term calorie reduction is required to kick-start cell repair, before moving onto maintenance / mend-it, on an as-and-when basis. Or there again, is that somthing that depends on individual responses.
Yes intermittent fasting is known to bring on autophagy and so is exercise that stresses the muscles (like resistance training) and also, due to switching insulin requirements very low, is ketosis.
