[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 907131, member: 150927"] OK. Began experimenting with IFing routines in early June. Began a 15/9 in mid June. It's now late July. What has happened to my BGs? The last three days have seen a return to the FBGs in the 5s and the low 6s I started to see post D-ND. I feel much relieved not to see the high 6s up to high 7s of just 10 days ago and previously for the last two months. I can only hope it stabilises. (I've never had the 4s and consistent low 5s that some T2s get on and post the Newcastle Program.) I don't really know about real weight loss on the IF,due to the earlier lack of scales issue, and too many variables. But in the last 9 days since having my bathroom and scales back I have seen a 1kg drop. But again - could be due to any number of things. I have been wondering about changing the fasting regimen. I really miss my first little breakfast! So I want to experiment with a couple of different regimens and see if I like them better than the current one. 1st experiment - 6:1. Yesterday I decided to try the not eating for a 24 hour period just once a week, so from Saturday 6pm (after an early dinner) to Sunday dinner at 6. I wondered if it would be easier to confine the hunger and difficulties I have with it to one day, rather than every morning. Argh! I broke the fast two hours early, and I probably ate not much less than what I normally would on a Sunday! just in a very confined period, due to the hunger. (Ate maybe 1,000 calories in a four hour period.) And for some of the day it was like being a sick person. But, nice on the blood glucose levels. (Perhaps it was the four hour period thing, rather than the amount of food.) (And it was 'clean food' just very nutrient dense.) If I can get the BG improvement without weight loss I will be very happy! Will have to wait and see, once variables have been cut. Really, I won't be a good test subject for another month - due to the earlier lack of scales on the 3 months away, changing hemispheres, rapidly changing seasons and eating patterns again. Changing global hemispheres and day for night can muck up FBGs - not in a bad way - it's good to off-put the liver from sugar dumps! - but not good for collecting data purposes. [/QUOTE]
