[QUOTE="cugila, post: 103751, member: 15325"] Hi Spiral. Precisely....Liver Dumps. I too would not be able to do this as I know that I would certainly go from one extreme to the other. I have tried it, not through choice, but by circumstance. I need to maintain the control over the day, otherwise a 'rollercoaster' effect sets in. Very difficult to get back on track. Then again, I'm not on Insulin or a T1 and I check my Bg levels throughout the day so know exactly what the levels are at critical times. I don't do averages. A Diabetic is advised to eat either little and often, or three small meals day perhaps with some snacks in between. This is to stabilise the blood sugars. Keep control. It seems a bit of a theory espoused by some 'strange' internet groups, not many members though. Mainly fitness fanatics, not so much about Diabetes. You could try it and see, however, personally I would give it a wide berth ! Here is a link to some research which is highly inconclusive about ADF (alternate daily fasting). [url=http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/86/1/7]http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/86/1/7[/url] There are many links in there including further links to subjects covering Cancer, Cardiovascular, Diabetes and other variables. All state that further studies are needed ? An extract from the summary. In summary, this still nascent literature suggests that ADF may effectively modulate metabolic and functional risk factors, thereby preventing or delaying the future occurrence of common chronic diseases, at least in animal models. The effect of ADF on chronic disease risk in normal-weight human subjects remains unclear, however, as do the mechanisms of action. Much work remains to be done to understand this dietary strategy fully. As for fasting being a great way of improving insulin sensitivity, helping blood glucose control and kick-starting weight loss ? I think the jury is stll out on that one ? You could always try it and see. Me, I prefer to steer clear of hypo and hyper numbers. 'Compressed' feeding.....what's that all about ? Only if I fancy getting 'mega' numbers on my meter. :lol: [/QUOTE]
