I've read a number of the fasting threads and the recent one by @bulkbiker gave me a push to give it ago.
My BMI is at 22 and I feel I don't have much more weight to lose but I've often wondered what effect some form of fasting would have on my FBG and weight, both of which have been a little variable and high.
So last week I replaced lunch with a cup of hot Marmite, threw out my walnuts (raided too often) and did not "snack" when having a black coffee (sq of 85% or cheese) or preparing son's breakfast.
In a nutshell:
Week 19 FBG 5.4 72.0 kg
Week 20 FBG 5.4 72.5 kg
Week 21 FBG 4.4 70.0 kg
Never felt hungry.
Mrs Hj commented this morning when I was getting on the scales.... "Even for you, you're looking a bit thin"!
Only downside: only two dumps in the whole week and one was a bit of an effort.
Amazing what missing lunch can do.
