[QUOTE="jpscloud, post: 2009662, member: 232698"] Ah too early days for me yet! I'm experimenting with intermittent fasting, so far I've lost around a stone since beginning LCHF with intermittent fasting. I'm starting a 3 day fast tomorrow and hope to do a 5 day fast soon. I will do a five day fast this week if 3 days goes well, I think. Unfortunately my tendency to lapse with carbs when eating is slowing my progress, so I may not be a good candidate for this. Edit: Currently I weigh around 265lbs. I currently take metformin, januvia and trulicity. I do not stop taking them when fasting at the moment, though I did experiment with stopping metformin for a week and januvia for a different week. Numbers went up slightly, so I restarted in both cases. So far I haven't had lower than 3.9 mmol/L on extended fasts and feel fine, so will continue with meds until advised to stop by HCPs. Another edit: When I'm fasting I feel great. As a relative newcomer to it, and being very overweight with T2, it seems my entire system, physiological and psychological, is very happy when I'm fasting. Sorry for all the edits. Maybe if I'm successful in improving insulin sensitivity and losing weight, this can count as my "before"! [/QUOTE]
