I was at 350 lbs. blood sugars out of control. Was following the food pyramid and eating small meals, 6-7 all day long. Mostly salads, meats, ... and I was still packing on the weight. God online and did tons of research and cam across Dr,. Jason Fung. Watched hour after hour of videos. God all his books online and read them all over a weekend taking careful notes.
Fat is stored food energy. That extra big mac you had 3 months ago. That slice of cheesecake after that pasta dish at cheesecake factory...According to Dr. Fung, you just need to start consuming your stores... so I did. Now mind you Dr. Fung is a real conservative. Take things slow ... Me ... I'm at the other end of the spectrum. I thought ... Jesus went 40 days and nights without food. Let's do that.
Made it 24 hours. Failure right? Hell no. Greatest success of my life. 24 hours. If I went 2 hours before it was a victory. So I tried again. made it 2 days, then 4 then a whole week without food. Then 14 days. Eventually I made it 32 days without any food. 5 meals in 3 months and I lost 104 lbs.. And NO DIABETES!
No, Dr. Fung would not approve. Nor would your Doctor, I am quite sure. I am not saying be like me. I am saying get with your Dr. and monitor the hell out of yourself. Your blood sugars will bounce all over the map for the first few days of fasting and your medications, like insulin will be hyper effective even in small doses. DON'T KILL YOURSELF ON THE WAY TO GETTING HEALTHY. And no, you don't have to go fast like me. Some people cure their diabetes slowly over many months and years. Just get more information now. There are a lot of fasting sites and Dr. Fung has a ton of videos and books.
Now I have a tool to use whenever I feel like I am packing a little extra fat on. I just fast for a while and eat that extra food energy I am saving around my tummy and everywhere else. By the way. I never felt better than when I was fasting. Needed less sleep, better able to concentrate, ... and once I am over my hunger wall at days 2-3 I can go forever even making my favorite foods for everyone else in the family without temptation ... Ok ... so with a little temptation. But it's not like I am ravenously hungry at that point.
Monitor, monitor, monitor ... and if you are going longer than a week or two get yourself a good natural multivitamin. I like the Alive 3X / day as they also keep all my allergies under control. Remember, while fasting medications are hyper effective so take real small doses ... monitor, monitor, monitor. After about day 5 my blood sugars went to normal and stayed there. I am about half the man I used to be. Thank God. By the way Dr. Jason Fung is very much a conservative and believes in taking things slowly. There are other sites that are much more radical.
Get with a Dr. who believes in fasting and work out a program. Oh yes. By the way. Fasting always works. About .6 lbs. a day. More if you are active or have more muscle mass. But ignore the scale. It lies. Water retention, refilling the intestines and stomach after you end your fast... just use the mirror and forget the scale altogether or you will get frustrated. Understand, whether or not you see it or not, you are consuming about .6 or so lbs. a day. How do you know? Do you have a pulse? Do you have a temp of around 98.6? If you aren't dead you are consuming the fuel to keep your body running from somewhere. Fasting always works. You decide how long you want to take to cure obesity and diabetes
