Hi
I often go 24 hours without eating.
If my sugar levels are good then not a morsel passes my lips.
However I drink coffee with milk during said 24 hours.
So am I actually fasting?
I suffer with bad guts, coeliac and Bile Acid Malabsorption, which means sometimes I eat and I have bad guts and other times after the same meal I'm fine.
I have got this off to a fine art and I drive and work and concoct insulin with other medicines to keep me on the straight and narrow.
I mention this as friends and family think I'm mad and can't work out how or why I do it.
I work on a simple theory that if my blood sugars are good then I'm good.
Your thoughts please?
Thank you
Tony
