[QUOTE="AlcalaBob, post: 1683655, member: 30529"] Week 8 Day 51 Tuesday 30th January. FBG 5.6 Weight 97.8kg At last, a 97. Down another kilo and it'll be almost there, half way to my target weight. I have to confess I'm generally feeling pretty tired much of the time now and I think it's the result of a sustained energy deficit. If I had to continue on this regimen for another four weeks, I'm not sure I'd do it without some additional intake, simply because of feeling too tired overall. Mornings seem to be fine but by early evening, it's catching up with me. I've spaced out the intake and even pushed it to 40:60 morning:evening and I haven't missed any meals. It could just be psychological but I think not. It's likely to be the consequence of the insulin since that influences the energy available for metabolism. When there's an energy deficit but also lots of insulin, the body can respond by cutting the metabolic rate. This is actually an interesting demonstration of the falsity of the energy in = energy out line of thinking, the one that says obesity is the result of gluttony, sloth or both... So eat less, exercise more and you lose weight. Nope, not so simple. Still, I'll stick with it until the end of week 8 and then gradually substitute in some real food. Looking forward to that point but want to see a 96 first. [/QUOTE]
