Fasting has not helped me loose weight. It does lower my BG for a week or so after.
That's another puzzle for me. I've read about autophagy, which (I think) means the body "eats itself". For the people it works for they can lose vast amounts of weight without having loads of skin hanging off, and look as if they have never been fat. But for many people it doesn't seem to make any difference.
This man seems to have worked miracles with fasting :

I'm just a fraction of his 200lbs overweight. I just feel that there must be a secret to doing what he has done that somehow I am missing out on and I really want to know what that secret is, which was why I started this thread. I know that women tend to find it harder to lose weight than men. Being hypothyroid means my metabolism is slower than normal. I know I have a fatty liver which will be making my risk of full-blown type 2 diabetes much higher than it would be otherwise, as well as risking various other health issues.
