[QUOTE="shelley262, post: 1695849, member: 455169"] Thanks for link very interesting. I’ve never done an extended fast - my longest ones have been 23 hours which I did every day for one month and now do one or two days a week- and I found that not taking anything on board def impacted my bgs so got in habit of just a small amount of watered down cream with my inulin and coffee first thing and at Middle of day was way forward. I know that JF does say it’s ok to have a very small amount of cream on a fast. Other thing that def stands out for me too is importance of stress management especially as fasting seems to put cortisol and bgs up temporarily - I now do mindfulness every day as well as Pilates regularly and these two things really make a difference to me. I’ve read the interesting research on autophagy too but know that an extended fast isn’t for me but regular intermittent fasting is. I’m just hoping in a wishful thinking kind of way that there may be some autophagy going on! Good luck whatever direction you continue your fasting in. [/QUOTE]
