[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2479078, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]I rightly took it that 'ADF' was not the Australian Defence Force! So I looked it up - Alternate Day Fasting, if that helps anyone else who is reading this and is about to look the acronym up... Interesting reading about ADFs above, as I have been thinking about doing this, or 2MAD (two meals a day...). I'm about to get a new HBA1c after not having one since a whole bunch of biiiiiigggg lockdowns, and I don't do well being socially isolated. (I live in the country, stranded in the middle of the ocean.) (But very very covid-freely.) My blood glucose seems to be currently shot, and more drastic non-eating periods are bound to be called for. Trouble for me is, and I am not alone, is I find it very hard to live a normal life working, doing mental work, and doing physical work on my property, without eating for energy. Would ADF work? I wonder. For leading a normal life. I can give it a try, but my guess is the 2MAD would work better for that but would maybe not lower my insulin and glucose enough. Sigh. I will be getting that probable horrible new number very soon, so i will come back in here and give my feedback on the ADF, or the 2MAD. 1MAD would be better for lowering insulin, and getting my body to use up fat stores, but I have to eat breakfast in order to get my liver to stop shoving out bucket loads of glucose with the wonky Dawn Phenomenon, and I can't imagine eating enough in the morning to last a whole day of work. (I would gladly skip breakfast if my DP wasn't shot.) Anyway. I wondered if my wonderings combined with my own shot body might help others in the same boat considering fasting and different kinds of fasting. (Hunger never goes away for me. And my guess that afflicts many people.) And combining it with work.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
