[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 895917, member: 48386"] My personal take on this - there is a "myth" in Paleo circles (including Dave Asprey's brand) that goes back to the Paleo for Women blogpost on fasting that Dr Fung links to and pretty much refutes. Kiefer of 'Carb Nite' fame says that when you're talking about diabetics, you're talking about a whole different ballgame to normal metabolism, but it's an issue glossed over by most Paleos as they tend to be writing to a non-diabetic audience. I think the main thing for women to be concerned about is stress - if you're already stressed, adding fasting to the equation is probably not a very smart move. Stress is what causes problems for both adrenal and sex hormones. Despite being a fan of a lot of Paleo writers, I always have to keep in mind that diabetes trumps everything else. I've been following a LCHF/Primal WOE for over 3 years. I doubt I've ever had a "carb re-feed" in those 3 years - I doubt if even when I've had cake or other rare treats that I've exceeded 100g carbs on any day during that time. Despite that, I just seem to get healthier, so I'm not giving too much credence to Paleo - especially the Crossfit/exercise fanatic end of the spectrum and their 'safe starches' obsession. TBH, I'm more interested in what my own body (and my glucometer) is telling me than what some "guru" has to say. [/QUOTE]
