Thanks
@douglas99 , so you still eat a lot less than you did immediately prior to the very low calorie phase of ND. Well done. My understanding of what you are reporting is that in your case, the 'ramping up' food intake, is what you believe caused you to gain weight, and have diabetic BG readings. Now that you have addressed that you are no longer having high BG readings. It would appear then that you have eliminated the visceral fat. Still eating less than in your 'ramping up' days. Which is what is recommended.
Now, can you consider that you have found your solution, but for others, myself included, the weight gain was not due to 'ramping up' food intake, but by following the medical advice to eat low fat foods and to include complex carbs at every meal. Also, that many of us are not as fortunate in having such a simple solution as you have? In my case, I do have non-diabetic BG levels, but still have a good deal of subcutaneous fat. I know it is not visceral fat as the surgeon who operated on my abdomen told me. He had been surprised that all my abdominal organs were clear of fat, and had expected to find liver enlargement, but didn't. This I do attribute to following Prof Taylor's methods. The remaining subcutaneous fat is stubbornly refusing to leave me.
