Forgive me if you have told us already, @nutribolt , but is the fasting purely for BG control, or are you needing to lose weight too?4.5 this morning after first fasting day. It will likely go downwards today as well and I will have to keep a watch as I would not want numbers hovering in 3.x before I go to bed tonight.
@the-mental-one I am sure it will be easy for anyone who is lazy enough like me. You see fasting inadvertently allows me to avoid cooking and if mrs is cooking it means less time for her in the kitchen and more time with me and that quality time is a huge motivation .
Apart from that, I really do feel that going very low carb helped with reduced hunger pangs and over time fasting periods have become as natural as gap between two meals on a normal eating day.
ummm... I wasn't overweight at 73.6 Kg for my height back in 19/10/2020 when I started preparing for ADF by going LCHF, so I would say my motivation was purely BG control at the time, but once I saw that weight reduction is feasible with this routine I did want to bring my weight nearer to the lower limit of the ideal weight and that along with curiosity as to how much I can push the boundaries in fasting as well as getting rid of the confounded liver dumps motivated me for extended fasting. This allowed me to achieve my goal of 63.5 Kg on 22/01/2021 and since then I am trying to keep it there. It fluctuates a bit up and down but on an average it has stayed there, so it's good. As a positive side effect of fasting I also could bring down my visceral fat from 13 down to 9 which again I am trying to maintain and allows me to stay motivated.Forgive me if you have told us already, @nutribolt , but is the fasting purely for BG control, or are you needing to lose weight too?
Immensely thank you. Very, for this relief, much thanksMorning 5.8 today. Lots of happy 5s here today. Hope you enjoyed SAS Friday @ianpspurs.
Realised that running on a treadmill doesn’t use all of your leg muscles so Thursday and Friday were emotional from a standing up and moving point of view, turns out I am stretching wrong , lesson now learned.
Have a great day everyone.
