I've resisted drugs to control my levels but saw the doctor a few days ago and was told my levels are out of control. I kept my level at around 7.5 by eating the right foods but tested a couple of days ago and it was up to 17.1, so decided to give Metafornin a try. I wasn't surprised as I've...

Yes it really gets you down when you get no results. After I got diagnosed with Type2 I read a few books and watched some videos, mainly Jason Fung. I was really encouraged by what I read and watched, believing this needn't be as bad as I thought. The LCHF diet took a bit of getting used to as I...

You may have the same problem as me: 'underactive thyroid'. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/underactive-thyroid-hypothyroidism/symptoms/ I'm getting a blood test next week to confirm this. I have a lot of the symptoms.

I'm type2 and have tried all the diets and fasts but have been unable to lose any weight so I am having a blood test next week to see if my thyroid is functioning properly. I have a lot of the symptoms. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/underactive-thyroid-hypothyroidism/symptoms/ I'm just...

I've tried all the diets including fasting for 5 straight days twice and LCHF for months but still cannot lose weight. I'll be having a blood test next week to determine whether my thyroid gland is underactive. I have a lot of the symptoms...

The main thing I got from it was not to fast 2 days in a row as it can slow your metabolism down. I'll be sticking to my low carb high fat way of eating but not doing any fasts more than 24 hours. I've had no success with losing weight when sticking to an 8-16 way of eating for the last 3/4...

I just tested my insulin level and it was a full 2.5 points above where it usually is. That was after a cup of tea with just a bit of Soya milk in it. Now milk is off the menu when I'm fasting. Eating normally today so it doesn't matter so much.

I'm staying off any flavoured drinks. I used to have orange juice (no added sugar) every morning then tea with milk and a sweetener, but am now doing a 'clean' fast because she says that even just the illusion of sweetness will make your body respond by increasing your insulin. So it's just...

I'm about a third of the way through this book and it seems to be really good advice for people wanting to lose weight. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51168294-fast-feast-repeat Anyone read the book and had any benefits from using her advice?

I've been low carbing for a couple of years now but have not lost any weight. I've tried fasting for different lengths of time 3, 4 and 5 days but still no weight loss. When I do eat its always around 16-8. I'm currently trying the 5-2 diet where I am eating for 5 days then fasting for 2 days in...

I'm in a similar position as in not losing weight no matter what I do. So have started the Water Fast on Monday. I feel like this is my last chance. I've tried fasting before but could only last for 3 or 4 days and got no benefit. I just grew gradually weaker and had to give up. When I eat it's...

I came across this newish video of his. Excellent as always.

Nothing for the last 48 hours. Doing the Water Fast and it's tough. I cracked not long ago and had a cup of coffee. It was wonderful.

Ok thanks, didn't know that.
