[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 979361, member: 150927"] Many thanks! Exactly the same? Hmmm - I guess I wouldn't put it that way - but in terms of actual results - yeah. You're right. For me - I would never dream of going low-cal again, due to the extended misery. When I started the D-ND, I had been kind of hoping to be like Richard Whats-his-name, but I couldn't starve to that extent without going bonkers. (My diabetes nurse wouldn't have been happy either.) He lost a lot of weight in a very short period of time. But I have a hunger-prone constitution so that kind of semi-starvation 'liver reboot' is not for me, it seems. But yeah. I think the ND, in such a limited period, does have the capacity to make a dramatic impact on one's HBA1c. For me it was from 49 to 40. But I am one of the one's who, for whatever reason, does not maintain the post ND weight. I am right back to my pre-ND weight. Which is fine with me. But sometimes dramatic is not necessary or wanted for general well-being! Is how I see it. But how else to know? Sometimes you just have to try these things out. [/QUOTE]
