I love this new section of fasting. I think the sharing that people do is great, and I get so many answers to questions. Please keep the section

I had two issues when I first started trying to fast. The first was my anxiety about deprivation, and then worrying about having to make it through to the finish line. I found once I gave myself permission to eat if I thought I had to, then I didn't worry about it anymore, and didn't think about...

What a great thread discussion! Brun you are amazing at your ability to rally up all the available video and literature on a topic. It makes things so easy for the rest of us to find things.As I am facing my GP for for my yearly medical after three months LC HF, I had just watched that Ken...

About a month back in discussions in one of the other threads (sorry I can't remember which one ) that were discussing results published in a British Journal, it was pointed out that the statistics for unsaturated fat that went back over many years were flawed because for many years saturated...

Roy Taylor has a lot of very interesting ideas to share! Thanks for providing this link. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum

My advice is get a new doctor, or go to your existing doctor and tell him or her how you were treated by this nurse. I understand though that switching doctors is sometimes difficult in some healthcare systems.Don't go off your meds, but stick with the low-carb healthy fat diet because it works...

What is your favourite quote from Dr. Jason Fung ? I have only been low-carbing for four months and reading omnivorously,good stuff and bogus. Through this forum I discovered Dr. F, and reading his work has changed my outlook on my future, my perspectives on my past failures in the world of...

I'm so impressed with your success and your determination. Congratulations! And I still have Splenda in my coffee in the morning because otherwise I can't drink the coffee. But I am holding the line against all the diet candy and cooking all those fancy desserts with evil sweeteners. I don't...

Dr. Fung also cites studies about artificial sweetener's increasing insulin although they don't affect blood sugar. He says that they can push it up 20%. I don't know how much you have to have to get that result though. If you're really working on your insulin resistance then the diet stuff...

I'm so glad you have started this thread! I too had major eureka moments reading Dr. F's new book. I'm just starting to try fasting and it is so much easier than dieting. I had major anxiety about trying it because I have deprivation issues from decades of dieting and eventually failing. His...

Ps, a question: does the high carb vegan diet also factor in the net carb approach, where the amount of fibre is subtracted from the total carbs? I'm not familiar with the writer who was cited to start this thread, and the diets referred to so forgive my ignorance. Also wanted to say I think...

Dear B, I really agree with your reply and I'm fascinated about how insulin resistance can be measured. But as to the high carb vegan diet,I remember reading in Dr. Fung about a couple of anomalies, the traditional Okinawan diet heavy on sweet potatoes,no processed foods, and the high rice...

But Kevin aren't we allowed to have feast then famine i.e. intermittent fasting after the feast? That's what I like so much about the flexibility of the low-carb diet approach, it doesn't throw out the baby with the bathwater if you have a cheat day. After your marvellous success with fasting...

Dear Amanda, I'm a type two and I can only imagine the challenges and struggle that you're having with the responsibility family as well. And I too wish you the very best of luck. I have a friend right now who is a type two and is really struggling, in despair about making such major changes in...

So how much fat can you eat on a low-carb diet, while not in ketosis? I have read that your body will consume the fat you eat, before it moves on to the fat you store. But you need fat to make the LC HF diet work , do you not? And to keep you from being hungry all the time.This is an issue I...

I am so impressed and encouraged by all of your successes!

Deb, I too am looking into into intermittent fasting as a way of regaining control of my basal metabolism which has been lowered by years of dieting. I highly recommend Dr. Fung's new book, The Obesity Code , which is very well written, clean and lucid prose. Funny too. You can also go on his...

Thank you very much. I will follow it up! And congratulations once again

Request for information: Kevin you mention being keto adapted as a preparation for longer fasting. Do you have to be in full ketosis for a period of time before stepping up to longer fasting? I'd appreciate feedback from you or other members who also are trying this method. Did your doctor...
