[QUOTE="Tal, post: 1028280, member: 126311"] I'm mildly pre diabetic. I went from 94Kg to 75Kg with, amazingly, no problems at all by fasting for 6 days running a few times.(I do drink tea with milk in, and LOTS of water). I monitor my blood sugar and ketone levels. The BS stayed around 4.5. mmol/L. The ketone level started rising after a day or two and generally stayed within the normal operating level of 3 to 6 mmol/L. The hunger wears off as the ketone backup energy system kicks in. I tend to feel more alert and energetic while on a fast (though I could enjoy a meal greatly if I think about it. All a lovely surprise I wish I'd known this earlier! Fasting is said to give the liver, kidneys and pancreas a break, during which they clear out the debris of unhealthy cells. Our bodies seem to have evolved to do this. Highly recommended, but there are possible dangers of keto acidosis (bad, unlike ketosis which is good) That's why I invested in a ketone meter and expensive strips Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
