Polished off our supper well before the 19.00 deadline this evening and I'm still feeling pleasantly full.
Having one's last meal of the day no later than, say, 18.00-19.00 and not making snacks afterwards is right for us. Not only do we sleep better, but it's worked wonders for my post breakfast BG readings the following morning.
Finished at 1pm! My daughter’s birthday and we had a picnic of chicken rolls (not low carb) and chocolate cake. And hour late I felt extremely ill and wanted to lie down. I checked my BG and it was 13.2. Serves me bloomin well right. I still feel a bit dodgy so not eating again today and drinking lots of water.
6.30 then fast for 14 hours
IMO 16-8, 18-6, 20-4 is just too much. The idea is that you can do it without even noticing. If you are struggling then try 14-10.
