[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1526895, member: 410240"] I started off removing as many carbs as possible from all my meals, my breakfast become eggs with cheese etc. (No bread etc). I then found after a week or so my BG started to go down a lot (17 to 8) and that I was not starving in the morning, so I started to have breakfast later and to skip it some days. My BG went down even more and my body did not object if I skipped lunch as well as breakfast on some days. (I decided that controlling BG was my aim not losing weight, so eat as much as I wanted provided it was not carbs. I am now losing weight as well without trying hard.) When we don’t allow our bodies to run on carbs they first use up the stored sugar and then start to learn how to burn fat, in a fast this process takes about 3 days, when doing “low carb” it takes longer due to the protein and that most food contains a little carbs. Most people find that once their bodies are “running on fat” they don’t feel starving when they skip a meal. Remember that most of us have enough “in built” fat, not to need to add a lot of fat to our food for the next few months, we just need to remove most of the carbs and not have too much protein. If you have the will power a 3 day fast when you just drink water would be a great way to kick start this, otherwise take it slowly by removing carbs from meals. [/QUOTE]
