Hey all,
I was thinking today that if the primary goal of one's IF program is insulin sensitivity, and since fat consumption doesn't really move the needle when it comes to insulin levels, is a "true" fast really necessary, or would consuming pure fats be completely consistent with IF for reversing T2?
Now I get that weight loss would be reduced, depending on how many calories are being consumed. And for me, I want to lose at least another 5 kg, but don't really want to lose much more than that, although I could change my mind. So for that reason, (and because I am an over-thinker), I have started thinking about weight maintenance on IF for insulin sensitivity.
So, anyone been down this road? Is there something I'm missing? Thanks.
