[QUOTE="jpscloud, post: 1992602, member: 232698"] I've been a little off the rails this week as it's half term and I'm deliberately not stressing about sticking to strictly low carb. I've just had some great news though... I had just completed a three day fast when I saw my Dr last Friday, and he was a little concerned about animal fats in LCHF. He also wanted me to do HbA1c which I did on Monday and rang for the results today. The receptionist said "Oh!" when she looked up the results and said that the Dr had put the comment "Excellent results" on it. I am now at pre-diabetic levels! And my cholesterol and lipids are fine. Ok, I'm still on three medications for diabetes and a statin, and two blood pressure meds... but this is a very clear indication that LCHF/intermittent fasting works, and works very quickly, even in someone like me who lapses sometimes. I'll see the DN in April and talk about coming off some meds, provided everything goes to plan between now and then. Next week I'll get back to low carb, with a 16:8 on Monday. If it feels right I'll do either 24 hour fasts with 16:8 alternately all week, or maybe go for another 3 day fast Weds/Thurs/Fri. It's also a good sign that I am actually looking forward to getting back to it after this week. [/QUOTE]
