I’m looking for a bit of advice from anyone who has done the ND.
I’m coming to the end of my first attempt at this. As of today I have lost 15.1% of my body weight since starting.
When I first started the diet I was on Metformin. By fasting levels were coming in at about 4.2-4.4. I then came off Metformin and my levels raised to the 5-5.4 range. (This was expected as metformin usually reduces your fasting levels by up 1).
2hrs after a meal I have not seen levels higher than 8 when on the shakes.
However I have been doing some experimentation as I come to the end and recently tried egg on toast. 1hr after I spiked to 8.8 and at 2 I was at 6.8.
I had a starting weight of about 120kg and am now around 100kg so still quite overweight and I know that based on Prof Taylor’s research each person has a PFT. BMI is not that important.
What im trying to assess is how close this is too normal or what others experienced?
Would you say I have passed the threshold or not?
I think that I probably haven’t passed my PFT and need to keep losing weight. (Ill move to a LCHF for a change)
I’m also thinking that the metformin having a large effect on my fasting numbers is probably down to continued high insulin resistance which weightless will continue to help with.
Any and all comments welcomed
