Message: <blockquote data-quote="bulkbiker" data-source="post: 1477441" data-attributes="member: 219467">Fasting is.. not eating.By not eating we give our bodies (liver and pancreas especially) a break from processing the food that we load into them all day long.If you eat breakfast lunch and dinner along with in between snacks then your body is perpetually producing insulin to deal with your intake. If you have Type 2 and therefore insulin resistance this is a bad thing (I am simplifying here).By not eating we allow some of the sugar circulating in our blood stream to be used as energy without pouring more in. Eventually we will use most of the sugar and turn to burning fat which is why we loose weight on a Low Carb diet.Fasting when combined with a low carb high fat diet is a strong aid to reducing blood sugar levels, loosing weight and controlling Type 2.</blockquote>
