[QUOTE="BarbaraG, post: 2693924, member: 47277"] It is definitely mental - my subconscious tried to tell me it was too hard for me, and when I realised (while preparing my lunch) that tomorrow is due to be a one-meal day, I momentarily felt that would be too hard. But it won’t. I am stepping my fasting days up from one or two to three per week, so there are obviously fewer eating days in between. And that’s why it’s going to bear down on my blood glucose to compensate for the Trulicity leaving my system. It will probably also accelerate my weight loss, and you won’t hear me complaining about that. At the same time, I am not averse to the idea that, in a couple of months, say, I will put my weight loss on hold for a while. I have a few days away with family in July, then a week’s holiday in August. There’s no reason I couldn’t relax my fasting regime for a few weeks. I can still do mostly low carb, and I can still skip breakfast on the in between days, and perhaps do a 24-hour once a week. And then when the holidays are over, go back on the stricter version of my plan. That’s what I love about fasting - it is so flexible. My main source of information about fasting is called The Fasting Method. There’s a website with loads of free info and membership/coaching options you can buy (I haven’t). One of the founders is Dr Jason Fung, a Canadian nephrologist. He has loads of videos on YouTube about fasting as it pertains to obesity, diabetes, fatty liver disease, PCOS etc. They also have a podcast which has been running over two years ago, which I have only just discovered. So I am listening to the back catalogue. The one I listened to today - episode #25, 3rd May 2022 - had a question about OMAD and how/why it won’t work for weight loss for many people. Worth a listen. Available where you get your podcasts :-; [/QUOTE]
