[QUOTE="Chayes16, post: 2631080, member: 569024"] I regularly do 3 and 4 day fasts and actually find the 3 day one much harder!!! I will relax it once I’ve lost the last 7lb, but I’m a ‘healthy BMI’ now. Rest of the time, I am on very low carb and the weights literally dropped off me. Except Saturday when I more or less eat what I like (within reason), because without my Saturday treat, I would find the other days near impossible. I still steer clear of refined sugars and my diabetes (T2) is pretty much under control. I’m not a huge drinker ( over the year, it probably adds up to less than one unit a week), so that’s a bonus. My HB1AC was really good just one month after starting this way of eating and my nurse was stunned. After 5 months, I can’t wait to see what the new numbers are. I have a number of health conditions, meaning I can’t exercise. Some of them aren’t affected by diabetes/excess weight but I’ve noticed a real positive difference in those that are. Once I’m at my goal weight, I will continue to restrict carbs and refined sugar, continue to drink loads of water and fast for 4 days once a month. I have to cos, not only is it good for my health, but I have a whole wardrobe of ‘new’ clothes (thank you Vinted), and all my other clothes have gone to charity. My Diabetes diagnosis was a blessing. I was in denial for 3 or 4 years but it finally forced me to make some changes to my unhealthy eating habits and hopefully prolonged my life Give it a go and best of luck!! [/QUOTE]
