[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 911789, member: 150927"] After yesterday's tryout of a 5:2 regime, I am pondering the different kinds of hungry-nesses, and which one is better than the other. I didn't go Very Low Calorie (VLC), because I need to be moderately active, and for that I need at least 800 calories, preferably 1000. (I know this from my 2 months on a Deviated Newcastle Diet, as well as last weeks all day no food fast.) On 500-600 cals and no-food fasting I need to go to bed in the afternoon! and watch nutrition and health docos as support and inspiration. :). I'm out of practice with moderating my calorie intake, so I made a mistake with a paleo almond-cocoa ball, and went 140 calories over in total. And I wasn't willing to go lower-cal in my dinner. (Herr Svea roasted pork.) I will be more careful on the 2nd LC (low calorie) day. And get more bottles of carbonated water. And more herb tea! But I did walk for an hour during the day, and have a post-meal short walk (20 mins). Post evening meal exercise/walk I think is good for my FBG. (There is some science to back that idea up, and my experience last year going from HBAIc of 93 to 53 - I think it was - in 4 months supports that.) (But you know - too many variables as usual to really say.) Indeed, my FBG was good this morning - in the low 5s. (Good for me.) I had a liver dump after, alas, which is what happened a couple of days ago too, but one step at a time. Gradual weight loss, and a couple of instances of good FBG - is a real positive for me. to spur me on. Enough to give me the push to go hungry another day this week, at least - and horrors - count calories. The hunger? Argh. Mid afternoon is the worst. All the way up to dinner. I can cope with a very small dinner OK. Today I am hoping that I.F. will not be a permanent aspect of my life, but the way to tweak if/when BGs go up, once if/when I can bring my HBA1c down again. (And for me, it looks like, in line with the 'Personal Fat Threshold' theory, these two things are closely related, ie weight increase=BG increase, along with a positive effect of low calorie or low or no digestive action on the malfunctioning hormones, organs and cells in T2D.) See it as intensive treatment. (Or part of an intensive treatment possibly including LCHF.) I guess 'we shall see' covers that hope! [/QUOTE]
