[QUOTE="Hoping4Cure, post: 1433297, member: 393050"] My 4th FMD cycle is about to end in ten minutes, gonna order some Indian food :) Refeeding is the best part of this diet. Delayed gratification is so sweet, eating after a period of (relative) famine. Have to eat sloooowly though, it hurts the stomach to stuff it too fast after it's shrunk. I removed the resveratrol pills from my remaining pill organizer and won't take them again until my next FMD cycle, and then I'll double it to 4 pills a day. Although it would be useful to get confirmation from Dr Longo if my idea of min-maxing the yo-yo effect by taking resveratrol (and eventually metformin) only during FMD is a good idea. I also added vitamin C and fish oil, 2X recommended dose (so 6 pills a day) and see how that goes for a while. I might titrate the dose upwards from there if I feel OK after a month or two on this new regime. Aside from all this, I've been reading a lot more about ketogenic diet and realized recently I've been probably eating too much protein and not enough fat to reach + sustain ketosis. But I'm also very interested in ketosis cycling to coincide with FMD cycles. The main thing for me that's hampering DIY hacking of my immune system and disease, is my inability to measure my beta cell function either directly or indirectly. Directly via c-peptide level (which as you know coincides with endogenous insulin production), or indirectly via HOMA (blood glucose and blood insulin levels can be used to deduce beta cell function through a formula. There's even an app -- see HOMA thread on my blog for details unless that hasn't already been talked about on this forum). [/QUOTE]
