Hello fikile M57,Has anyone ever heard of this fasting
Yep there's even a fasting area on the forum..Has anyone ever heard of this fasting
I would suggest starting with just not having anything solid for breakfast.. just whatever you usually drink first thing in the morning (without sugar or sweeteners of course). Then slowly build up the length of your non-eating period. I found breakfast the easiest meal to skip.Thank u so much for the info..i have learnt a lot .i also want to start fasting. Its better now coz the schools are closed n im home, so it will be easy for me to mornitor it while im home...thank u so much...this forum is a blessing for me
Yes that is pretty high.. what way of eating are you currently following?I find this fascinating as I am starving in the morning!! I couldn't contemplate missing breakfast. I need my eggs!!
Or is this a sign my BS are still too high? My BS are still above 12 mmol/l in the morning.
It's not mandatory for breakfast to be the missed meal. I'm always hungry in the morning - I eat large meals for breakfast and lunch and then usually don't eat again until the next morning. If I feel hungry, I'll snack on cheese or nuts late afternoon. I try to have at least a 13 hour overnight fast - up to 18 hours on 2 meal only days.I find this fascinating as I am starving in the morning!! I couldn't contemplate missing breakfast.

Yes, your BG is still very high - but you're only recently diagnosed, aren't you? Give yourself some time to adapt your diet and lose weight (if you need to), before worrying too much. It all takes time.
But if I'd known 5 years ago what I know now, I'd have adopted intermittent fasting a lot earlier than I did. My BG is now the best it's been since diagnosis.

Intermittent Fasting doesn't necessarily equate to weight loss if you're eating enough calories. It hasn't made me lose weight. I wish it would, lol. The advantage is in metabolic health, BG control and minimising insulin spikes.NO! I can't lose weight!! I'm only 42kgs and 5 foot 2! lol lol
Sounds good (although I'd ditch the bread.. it just makes you hungry and want more) Just have double the fillings without the bread instead. Fill up on fat, so maybe use cheese slices as bread.I am only a week diagnosed so still working out what the hell I'm doing! lol
I would basically say I am LCHF and I have just eliminated all carbs in the morning and only have 1 slice of bread at lunch because I have cut everything else (pasta, potato, some veg, most fruits and all sugar products).
