[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1246377, member: 85785"] Having been convinced that eating every three hours is necessary to maintain my well-being and providing enough nutrients to keep me healthy for work and life in general. That is what I believed. In all the papers that I have read it states to eat small meals to prevent hypos. However, it has dawned on me that most of these papers recommended a reduction in carbs and eat only complex carbs. Which I have found to be totally intolerant to my system. Also, when replying to posts, I offer the advice of don't hyper and you won't hypo! So it seemed logical that in having one meal then fasting as long as I had very low carb meal, so I wouldn't hyper, so it followed that I shouldn't hypo! So the guinea pig trial today! Since I started intermittent fasting a while ago now. My choice and amount has reduced quite a bit and from nearly constantly very small meals (snacks) every day to sometimes only three small meals a day. Which has to be healthy. If I can eat even down to two meals and something before bed, I will be even happier. I'm writing this having my yoghurt and berries with some chocolate. I'm in permanent ketosis and really happy there. And the real answer to your question is yes! It does get on my nerves knowing I have to eat and come up with something different especially after the trial and error of testing during my first year after diagnosis. I do eat a lot of salad and fresh meat, I also don't get a lot of time to cook because of my full time job. But, acceptance of my condition came about. I am constantly thinking of ways to be open minded about my dietary needs. I never believed I could fast for days upon end and feel regenerated and more energy. I always believed that food was a three square meals a day thing. Meat and two veg, etc. Food was a necessity, now it is not refilling up the tank thing, it's to provide necessary vitamins and minerals in small doses, the smaller the better! It is a wonderful invigorating release, when you realise, some people survive and live healthy lives eating next to nothing! Even if I wanted to, I couldn't eat bigger meals if I tried. I become full on rations now! I will repeat my test next week and post the results. [/QUOTE]
