What do you think about combining Dr. Michael Mosley's Fast 800 Mediterranean diet with Dr. Fung's 23:1 intermittent fasting schedule?

I have been doing LCHF 18:6 using Dr. Fungs books along with The New Atkins for a New You book and others -- 1600 calories a day. Previously I was eating 2400 calories a day on LCHF grazing diet and lost about 2 pounds per week on that.

It's been going well. I want a boost though now that I have had a break being on LCHF only for past few days.

I'd like to try the Fast 800 in a 23:1 intermittent fasting schedule, preferbably for 8 weeks. I've lost 3 stone in past couple months but have 14 stone to go.

What do you think? I handled the 18:6 fasting for 25 days straight no issues, not one single bit of food during fasting hours.. wasn't hungry.. if I was slightly, I just drank homemade bone broth. I am very sure I can handle 23:1 for long period of time without hunger. It's so nice because there aren't high levels of insulin (the bully) present all the time, ordering the fatty acids to go back home to the fat cells.. they get freely used up... just never hungry.

Sounds like a good plan.............go for it

I've just been trying to cut out breakfast and lunch 3 times a week, so fasting from about 10pm until 4pm, when I give in and have some nuts. Has helped with weight loss, but not BG control so far.

Perhaps get The New Atkins for a New You? Dr. Westman

How many grams of carbs are you eating a day? I found that restricting my carbs down to 50g per day brought the sugars down in short order.. coming from A1C of 9-10 for years. Are you sure you are type 2 diabetic? Maybe you are misdiagnosed.. Perhaps LADA ?? Late onset type 1 autoimmune attack on pancreas? Makes sense low carb diet wouldn't work for you if you were LADA. could it be possible that you just lack producing insulin ? Your weight has dropped instead of increased.. sounds like a very slow progressing autoimmune disorder?

Maybe talk with doc about it and have doc order c peptide test or whatever other tests could determin eif you have an autoimmune attack.
