[QUOTE="aealexandrou, post: 2239171, member: 503484"] I don't believe an extended fast is the answer, as you will lose lean meat. Intermittent fasting is safer and allows you to take in sufficient protein and fats to retain muscle mass. I started Keto and intermittent fasting last March. I already had good HbA1c readings for T2D (I.e. 35, 38, etc), but after a year my last HbA1c was 23. I started Keto at 97 kilos. I went down to 82 kilos by November but have remained constant ever since. It's not an issue and has given me time to consider my nutrient intake with each particular type of food. I realised that my Keto at the start of the process was not the Keto that I am practicing now. Perhaps you need to reconsider what you are eating if your HbA1c is refusing to come down. Protein can also stimulate insulin, albeit to a much lower degree than carbs. Are you having enough fat? Too many nuts? Are you juicing vegetables (kale, broccoli, etc) and if you are, are you cooking/steaming them first to get reduce the lectins? It's a long process and there is a lot of trial and error. [/QUOTE]
