[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 911818, member: 48386"] One of the things I've enjoyed most about LCHF - and even more so since following 16/8 IF - is the freedom from obsession about food and hunger. Even being surrounded by chocolate during my sister's recent stay didn't really bother me that much. I was given a box of Lindor Balls around February and only very occasionally have a couple - the box is still more than half full. Never thought it would happen, but I'm so glad it did. I'm still going with IF (up to 144 days now) and still finding it really manageable - currently my lowest weight in I forget how many years, BMI now 22.5 (loss since starting 16/8 now 8kgs; total since diagnosis is 20kgs); total weight loss percentage around 25%; consistently having normal or low prediabetic fasting BG range (4.9 to 6.1, usually low 5's) and spending most of the day under 7.8 as long as I stay under 25g of carbs per meal) with liver dumps now usually not taking me over 6.5 which is also a huge relief. I'm guessing my personal fat threshold is at the very low end of normal BMI, so it's going to take discipline to stay that low - interestingly enough, for the first time in my life I'm around the same weight as my non-diabetic older sister so I'd say there's a strong genetic factor involved. I don't ever plan on increasing carbs as I see that would be a quick and easy way to regain weight and undo all the good. I certainly don't care if I'm "cured" or not, but I very much doubt it. As long as I can keep non diabetic BG levels most of the time, I'll be happy. Really looking forward to my next A1c to see if the intermittent fasting regime and consistently lower BG levels have an impact :cool: After seeing that recent study about skipping breakfast not being a great idea for Type 2 control, I'm even happier that skipping the evening meal regime works so well for me :) [/QUOTE]
