Dear Ickihun, I know you are struggling right now, but I urge you to persevere. I also urge you to read the Obesity Code by Jason Fung. It's the clearest explanation I have found of how to approach low-carb, intermittent fasting, and emptying out your fatty liver, which is the ultimate goal...

Jason Fung and others write about how artificial sweeteners can raise your insulin level up by up to 20%, in spite of the fact that it doesn't raise your blood glucose level or have calories. Increasing your insulin when you are insulin resistant is a genuine problem. It is insulin resistance...

Diet doctor.com has a great recipe for buns made with almond flour and physillum( sp?) husk powder. They are best hot, fresh out of the oven with lots of butter, cheese etc. or thin scrape of marmalade if you budget the carbs.They are only two carbs per bun if you make six buns out of the...

The other problem is that artificially sweetened soft drinks may not give you sugar, but raise your insulin levels just the same. Many people drink the Coke zeros and other types of drink thinking that they are escaping the evils of soft drinks. To an insulin resistant diabetic, artificially...

I just found out that I have reversed my diabetes, and I'm now prediabetic after four months of serious low carbonIng and intermittent fasting. I have been diabetic for 15 years, so there's hope for everyone. I will have to work to maintain, of course

Sorry, I use the dictation function on my phone, and didn't catch how it butchered Brunnerias name. There are some other very informed people who also might set you reading new material. Good luck

Just a couple of responses to some of the things you mentioned: coenzyme Q 10 is recommend it to people to continue after going off statins as therapy for the damage that statins may have done to you. And I can't remember the source but I have read that two or three places. There are several...

Thank you so much for your information. I have very low tolerance for things like ibuprofen, so I guess I have to look into this further. I'm hoping that a balanced diet will make new drugs unnecessary.

Thank you very much for the research!Forgive my ignorance, but what would be the difference to someone with low tolerance to normal Metforman and this timed release one? What would be the difference to a patient between an enteric coating and this timed release coating? Do you have an opinion...

Fung has a chapter on refeeding after fasting, and how to go about it, and what happened to people on starvation diets. I'm not sure if that part was included in the blogs he created first, but look for
