[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1255742, member: 85785"] Since my last post, I have been alternating days of different intermittent fasting. I am learning so much about how best to achieve my targets and how it all works and makes me feel good all day and have greater energy, no lethargy and more importantly keeps me really healthy. But I did have one blip along the way, and like me, it was really weird. I have tried no breakfast, fasting till 3pm. Having breakfast then nothing till 6pm. Eating breakfast and mid morning then nothing till 9pm. Having nothing till 10.30pm on a footy trip. Having not to worry about having small meals all day, and not cooking and preparing along with shopping and planning especially at work. All meals, very low carb. I didn't come out of ketosis on these days. The blip I referred to was on a day when I'd had my first small meal around midday at home, then I had an apple for my afternoon meal, within half an hour, I started to get a headache, my eyes started going blurry, I warmed up, started shaking and didn't feel good like I have been doing. During my intermittent fasting I had cut right down on my fruit. So I reached for my monitor believing I was having a hypo. First reading 7.3! So I changed lancett and a checked again 7.1! Rewashed myi hands, changed it again and this time 7.4! So why did I feel awful? I think that my body reacted to the glucose derived from the apple and boosted my bsgs up quickly. Being not used to the higher level of bloods, the symptoms told me to do something, obviously other than testing, so I went for a walk. I had a slice of cooked gammon with fat on it, to prevent my body from going hypo. I still felt dreadful even though I ate responsible and got back into control. My sleep wasn't as good as its been, but after this, I was back to my normal controlled self, good energy and feeling good! Back to intermittent fasting, my trials and testing has provided me with a different outlook to how I treat my condition and I can live my life as healthy as possible. Intermittent fasting is working for me in a way I never thought possible. No salad every day! I have come to the conclusion that I don't need food to be healthy. I think my body is telling me enough is enough already! I am better without food! My mindset has changed, I don't need carbs at all, I don't need to eat all the time, I don't need food to work, I can manage on two small balanced meals a day at opposite ends of the day, there was one day I just didn't want to eat but I did and I really enjoyed it. I am throwing away food that I don't want. Very exciting. Will try this way of living and see if I have any setbacks or repercussions from it. Other than the blip, I think, the obsession of making sure I eat to stop me going hypo has been well and truly binned. [/QUOTE]
