[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1672397, member: 459333"] You've been very helpful in pointing out the importance of insulin, as have other members on this forum - a point easily missed for someone just starting to look into ways to improve their T2. I don't have the tools to measure what's going on inside myself, and I'm certainly not going to argue against the point you make about insulin. I'd go back to my point about individuals, however: Anything to make the loss of excess body fat easier has to be good. At some point I am likely to be trying the VLCHF and fasting approach you suggest - you are certainly a good advertisement for it. But for now, and I know this may be hard to believe, but I'd find fasting hard, and I find sitting still hard. It sounds silly because of course to "fast" requires that you do precisely nothing, where as to exercise requires time and effort. But that's just the way it is for me at the moment. I think we all need to play to our own strengths. Right now, body fat loss is my first-order problem to solve. Eating small amounts of food, 'to my meter' rather than LCHF, and enjoying walks, is working very well. I'm not even going to argue that it's optimal. Maybe VLCHF and fasting would be even better, but I really don't think I could stick to it anything like as easily as my current approach. [/QUOTE]
