@Pipp I'm in the same boat as you with similar numbers for my fasting blood glucose and non existent weight loss.
Last week I experimented with a four day fast - my first extended fast - and lost 6lbs (the first I've managed to lose since last September/October) and my FBG has come down in to the 5s. I *think* I experienced Autophagy as my arthritic knees have been much less painful and some patches of psoriasis I have are a lot less inflamed and itchy.
Any of these would be enough to encourage me to fast again but to have all of them happen is really wonderful.
The best bit of all.... it was free. In fact, better than free, I saved money on food.
