I feel a lot of us think or take ND as a quick 8 week cure to diabetes and weight loss, but its not, I am sure if we go back to our old ways of eating, we might get it back. As paulins said treats are good, It also helps you stay focused, I feel you only have one life to live, so at times you need it but post ND i really think exercise and keeping the weight off is as important.
I am still only 6+ weeks out of ND and I might be talking out of my skin but if post nd we eat right and do exercise we should be able to stay off diabetes, I still remember doc telling me its a progressive disease inevitably leading to loss of limbs and all that, and had i not found this forum, I would have had no option to but to listen to the doc and live the way he wanted me to, I definitely did not want to give in and I will not.
I have just adopted a low carb diet and I am so used to it I dont like the old high carb refined flour diet anymore. Neither is it unhealthy for me to drop back on it, Its not correct way of eating for nobody.
I dont think i have the strength to do ND again but definitely working very hard to keep the weight off me. 16:8 IF with exercise is what I am doing, trying a combination of HIT with normal walks, and staying low carb. Few things I still do even after coming off ND ( Or i should rather say very good things I picked up off ND ) is I make soups I used to make on ND And add loads of water to it before having them, keeps me full and helps me skip a meal sometime, and have sparkling water to keep hunger away.
But definitely there are days when I let myself loose for some social gathering or if I feel I really need to spend time out with family and have no option but to eat what is available (which is not always LCHF)
@paulins @Andrew Colvin @Pipp have stayed reversed and I really look upto them and feel if I could achieve half of what they have done I would be happy.
