[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 887721, member: 48386"] I've been doing 16 hour day fasting for 110 days now, trying to keep under 1400 calories most days. I've lost 7kgs and my fasting BG has finally normalised with readings under 5.5 most days. Waist is finally 80cm and BMI currently 22.8. Still having high postprandial readings if I eat more than 20gs of carbs in the meal, but since I plan on staying LCHF that's not such a big issue for me. I eat 2 meals (and sometimes a snack) per day and stop eating by 3pm. I've been surprised how easy it's been to stick with. It took over 3 months for the fasting level to normalise, so I figure I must have finally reached the 30% liver fat loss threshold though given the postprandial readings, I guess I still have pancreatic fat as my beta cell function doesn't appear to have been restored. I'm beginning to suspect I'm going to have to continue like this if I want to maintain the weight loss. Whether I'll think it's worth it long term is something yet to be answered. [/QUOTE]
