Need Ladybird Version Please

Maybe tag the fasting section in the diet area. That's where most of us fasters put new things..and where that particular thread resides. For me fasting is nothing solid.. Like @Brunneria I have tea with lactofree milk, coffee (usually with cream and hemp milk) as well as water. I have also tried some broth type soups (I used Waitrose consomme because it was in the cupboard but would make my own next time) but try not to have those on my current 7 day fast. I have also cut back on the cream and milk to see what the effects are.
I would also recommend Dr Fung's site

Fasting can be whatever you want. I personally don't have fat bombs but have been known to put butter in the broth to make it more filling.
Hope that helps

I suppose under the expanded definition of fasting that I fast also because I only eat in a window from 9 am to 4:30 pm, unless I need to correct for a low. I started this originally to help control asthma-because I get acid reflux at night if I eat after 6 pm and the acid reflux gives me an asthma attack at night. I have noticed that only eating in this window gives me better fasting numbers in the morning also.
It also occurs to me that the fasting pattern described above would be classed an eating disorder if we were all skinny but actually is a prescribed treatment for weight loss-although 7 days is kind of extreme.
I get hypo symptoms (and hypos) if I skip breakfast but I am on blood glucose lowering drugs. Happy dietary tinkering!
