[QUOTE="kokhongw, post: 1415794, member: 277199"] Dr Fung's fasting protocol works particularly well for those who have extra fats and weight to lose. And especially if you have difficulty exercising because of various weight related issues. Due to my lifestyle, I walk less then 1000 steps a day. It took me only 2 sessions of skipping dinner 2 days in a row to bring down my fasting glucose from 7.0-8.0 mmol to around 5.5mmol. And have maintained that for over a year. While it may have been very successful for many of us, it is often important to keep in mind that not all of us will get the same results. It may take some longer, and other factors may come into play. But the general idea is that fasting 16-120 hours is to allow our body to clear away damage cells, exhaust our glucose store, goes into a protective mode, lower insulin levels, re-enable its ability to access/utilize fats for energy. Then with the correct refeeding of fats/proteins regenerate new cells and maintain healthy metabolic levels. Keeping this fast/refeeding cycle monthly, weekly, daily as it suits you...It is the cyclical nature of it that helps to restore and maintain balance. Just as with seasons. [/QUOTE]
