Dear Ickihun, I know you are struggling right now, but I urge you to persevere. I also urge you to read the Obesity Code by Jason Fung. It's the clearest explanation I have found of how to approach low-carb, intermittent fasting, and emptying out your fatty liver, which is the ultimate goal...

Jason Fung and others write about how artificial sweeteners can raise your insulin level up by up to 20%, in spite of the fact that it doesn't raise your blood glucose level or have calories. Increasing your insulin when you are insulin resistant is a genuine problem. It is insulin resistance...

Diet doctor.com has a great recipe for buns made with almond flour and physillum( sp?) husk powder. They are best hot, fresh out of the oven with lots of butter, cheese etc. or thin scrape of marmalade if you budget the carbs.They are only two carbs per bun if you make six buns out of the...

The other problem is that artificially sweetened soft drinks may not give you sugar, but raise your insulin levels just the same. Many people drink the Coke zeros and other types of drink thinking that they are escaping the evils of soft drinks. To an insulin resistant diabetic, artificially...

I just found out that I have reversed my diabetes, and I'm now prediabetic after four months of serious low carbonIng and intermittent fasting. I have been diabetic for 15 years, so there's hope for everyone. I will have to work to maintain, of course

Sorry computer glitch. Longer fasts allow a cleansing mechanism of Autophagy to start working to repair your cells, and also extended fasts can help reset your basal metabolism if you have been low-fat dieting for extended periods of time.

I saw Jason Fung in a recent interview for a woman's health show. I think it was a link I picked up on this forum, but memory fails. He was saying that fasting can be any of the things that you're talking about, And that you have to pick something that works with your lifestyle. Any period of...

Congratulations! Way to go.

I'm someone who was overweight since they were four years old and I've spent my entire life trying to diet and being put on diets.I must've had metabolic syndrome since childhood. I was diagnosed diabetic15 years ago after years of being prediabetic for years,and generally was very compliant...

Sorry, I use the dictation function on my phone, and didn't catch how it butchered Brunnerias name. There are some other very informed people who also might set you reading new material. Good luck

Just a couple of responses to some of the things you mentioned: coenzyme Q 10 is recommend it to people to continue after going off statins as therapy for the damage that statins may have done to you. And I can't remember the source but I have read that two or three places. There are several...

Thank you so much for your information. I have very low tolerance for things like ibuprofen, so I guess I have to look into this further. I'm hoping that a balanced diet will make new drugs unnecessary.

Thank you very much for the research!Forgive my ignorance, but what would be the difference to someone with low tolerance to normal Metforman and this timed release one? What would be the difference to a patient between an enteric coating and this timed release coating? Do you have an opinion...

Fung has a chapter on refeeding after fasting, and how to go about it, and what happened to people on starvation diets. I'm not sure if that part was included in the blogs he created first, but look for

That's fascinating that the bacon helped you to get deeper into ketosis then just fasting! Would you call that a fat bomb? There are a ton of recipes for them on the net, little sweet treats, all fat, chocolate, and sweetened with artificial sweeteners . But the sweeteners can really raise...

I double checked my notes on my meeting with the pharmacist advisor, and he had written down the name Glumetza for me. I hope to see him for an appointment next week on another issue, and I will double check the name. With drugs it's always crazy because they have their original brand name...

I too have deprivation issues about dieting, probably as a result of low-fat calorie counting dieting for about 50 years. I was ravenous all the time, and felt huge deprivation as I hated most of the food that I was supposed to eat as it was tasteless. This winter my diabetes was going out of...

Yes I believe so, although they didn't use the SR part when we talked about it. I never saw it written. The pharmacist advisor for our medical clinic said that you could take it without food because of the coating, but if you were doing 16 or 24s you could take it with any meal. Slow 24 hour...

Has anyone had any experience with the new coated metforman that is supposed to help with the stomach upset and diarrhoea that the regular drug causes for some people. The pharmacist advisor at my Health clinic was telling me about it. It's a one dose a day slow release enteric coated med. I...
