For those of us who worry about losing muscle mass as a result of fasting please remember that by fasting we allow our body to burn the fat that we have stored. We do not lose muscle mass when we fast. We lose fat.

Fasting will not raise blood sugar levels. Please see dr. Jason Fung website for more information about this. Experiment. Fast for longer and 24 hours say perhaps 36 hours and see what effect this has on the dawn phenomenon. For most people fasting blood sugar levels are reduced.

Hi Lizanne. I was congratulating Tony on his effective management of his blood glucose and not for his interest in Jason Fung.

It's a secret society Lizanne!☺

I suppose Mike, it depends on how you understand and define what is meant by the term"cure" in connection with type 2. There is no need to get obsessed with anything here. It is helpful to offer people hope - not false hope - but hope, for without that there can be no endeavor. Some people...

Fair enough B. You are objecting to nothing more then the expression

Hello South beds. Do you fast intermittently or at all? I think you're very wise not to do anything blindly.

Hi B. I believe I expressed my opinion clearly about my belief that type 2 is a curable condition. I am sorry if that makes you feel uncomfortable but I stand by it. By expressing it I am NOT offering magical panaceas or false solutions to any persons. I am merely pointing out that enough...

Hi Deb McGee. Information that I think would answer your questions about the benefits of combining intermittent fasting with low-carbohydrate high-fat diets can be found at either of these two sites: dietdoctor.com. The first of these two is the work of Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt and the second...

Hi curlynurse. I think blaming ourselves and cursing our misfortune are very normal responses to the kind of bad news that a diagnosis - informal or formal - of diabetes brings. Fortunately, this condition is, if not curable, completely manageable. My own experiences so far persuade me that type...

Happy new year as well to you Tony! There is so much to experiment with isn't there? I tend to stay away from bananas and potatoes simply because I haven't heard anything good about their ability to help lower insulin resistance and blood glucose levels. This does not mean for a moment that I'm...

Hi Tony. Happy New Year to you as well Hi Mafat. It certainly has been working for me, although I also intend to continue experimenting with longer fasts intermittently and occasionally. I also think that time is a factor here in terms of completely reversing the condition. Best of luck in your...

Hi Tony. I do get fat from olives and olive oil on a regular basis. I also use coconut oil, avocados, nuts- especially macadamia nuts - and eggs cheese and butter. I also use 18% cream in my coffee and tea. I do not avoid meat fat when consuming protein in the form of meat. Those are my fat...

Hi LizAnne I have experimented with different fasting regimens. Currently however, I have settled to a routine of one meal a day - usually taken between 6 and 7 p.m. I will not eat again until the same time next day but I do allow myself coffee with cream, tea and water between meals. My average...

Congratulations on managing it so well! In my own case, I am convinced that the fasting is one of the best medicines for long term benefits we can prescribe for our selves. Like you, I am able to manage the condition with diet and exercise strategies. You may find the work of a young American...

Hi Lizanne. Feel free to make it a three way one if you are so inclined.

Congratulations Tony! Dr. Sarah Hallberg is also worth investigating.

My own experience is that the science around type II is faulty - outright wrong! The advice you have received is typical here too. Don't believe it Tony! Eat good food, limit the carbs to those of the vegetable type, and experiment with fasting regimens to see what works for you. Other helpful...

Hi Tony With a LCHF diet and regular fasting,your body burns fat not muscle. Your energy comes from the fat reserves your body is now tapping into, resulting gradually in greater insulin sensitivity and lower blood glucose. Of course, we are all apt to respond to fasting and diet endeavours...

Hello everyone - greetings from Canada. Please use the internet to look at what Dr. Jason Fung, a Canadian doctor practising in Scarborough (near Toronto), has to say and advise about type II diabetes. You can google him by name. No spoilers in this post, but I assure all that it is worth...
