[QUOTE="roarshack, post: 1944412, member: 497244"] Good points. I forgot to mention I have hypo-thyroid. I take Synthroid daily. It's funny that you mention thyroid and fasting and how I can worsen these issues. I got my thyroid checked 9 months ago (so I was about 9 months into fasting) and it needed an increase in medication. Perhaps the two were connected. I really like this philosophy as it is pretty much in line with my thoughts. I'm not using IF to lose weight or any of that other stuff. My sole purpose was to see if it would regulate and lower my A1C. For me, it hasn't at all. So I'm starting to wonder if it might be better for me to just maintain the eating habits I've formed during this time period of trying IF, but not worrying to so much about the fast time. I was eating 3,000 cals a day but still maintaining that 100 carbs-ish. I ate this way for about a year, not to gain weight, just to keep the muscle and weight I had. I'm the type that can easily lose some size and some weight if I cut my calories even slightly. Still had the irregular changes to the A1C though. I don't sit around eating sweets, or soda or baked goods, normally. Maybe it's time to get a full panel work up again...I'll likely do this when I'm do for my next A1C check, which will be in a few months to spring time. [/QUOTE]
