my adf journey (hopefully)

[Deleted member 208503]

began adf (alternate day fasting) yesterday
so today is my first eating day

im doing adf with 0 calories on the fasting day
except for coffee cream if i go out with others
for coffee
so far im feeling well
i was doing Omad for awhile
and liked it but id like
to try adf
when i first considered Omad
i also looked at adf and chose Omad
now id like to try ADF

i use insulin so im being sure to measure
my bs

if i can i will list my food here
on the eating days
and maybe my bs
onward i go---

i ate salad and soup
my bs reading will be posted shortly

im not able to do this for weight loss reasons at this time
as i'm medically not permitted any exercise for up to
a few months from now
but i understand there are other health benefits

8.7 at the 2 hour mark
with 0 rapid insulin
(just my normal bedtime lantus)

a rather disappointing number
and surprising considering what
i ate
but
my main goal right now is to eat
less food and use less insulin

i just wont buy that salad again
and the soup is all gone
so whatever one put me over my goal (4-7)
wont happen again

so on to my 2nd fasting day of my adf
journey

todays my 3rd day
and 2nd fasting day
its going well so far

i will post some bs numbers later today

 

[Deleted member 208503]

still here
still doing adf

i dont know really what to post about it

my bs numbers are ranging from 4.4 to 7
4.4 being my lowest
so no hypos

i found that my hungriest time is about 8 hours
before its time to eat
but other than that no more hunger than normal

i did start to get confused on what was the eating day
so i had to make a change
and that was to eat on even numbered days
so far its alot simpler
just get up in the morning check the date
and eat or not eat

Bit of an old thread and we haven't seen @cdpm for a while.
Maybe start a thread of your own in the fasting section of the forum.

I intermittent fast every day nothing eaten until mid afternoon.

Me too. I eat after 3 pm. It means I'm in nutritional ketosis. Usually ketones at 2 mmol/l.

scalloped potatoes (from family no choice today short on food)

see u in a few days
going to try adf

 

[Deleted member 208503]

in first day of a 3 day fast
really hoping to do it
ive been reading up on
when your hunger goes away
so id like to see
the places i read online say
3 days

its going to be hard
as im always very ravenous
purpose--
to see how long it takes
and
to see if it comes back less
or will it be better
than the constant hunger
and can i then eat less
without extreme hunger
i have done a 5 day fast (just water)
but this was long before being diabetic
with the meds
