I cooked my own food, essential. Counted carbs but not to the point of cult status. No bread, potatoes, pasta, rice and very few sugary fruits. No sugar. Use erythritol. Strawberries and star fruit petmissible.

 

Way to go, low carb. Basically what I do, but no erythritol. Monk fruit sweetener's useable, but the taste doesn't impress me enough to buy more of it.

I quit end of last year.

 

Oh. Well, it's downhill from there.

Since then I've put 7kg back on. But it was a great education and it taught me to take care of myself. That's all that really matters, GG. Taking care of yourself.

 

Yes you did. 'Course, the question is how to take of yourself and how to measure the results of doing so. What we really want to know is, how to take care of yourself w/o doing anything, or rather, doing whatever your impaired insulin sensitivity demands. We ain't gettin' any happy answers, however.

You might want to try a darker roast coffee, as not as bitter, so don't need the sugar.   Although less caffeine, the darker the roast.

 

While darker roasts tend to have less caffeine, the notion that a darker roast is less bitter is utter <deleted>. 

roasting breaks down sugars and acids in the coffee resulting in a less complex often more bitter flavour

No, you should wait 24hrs.

Ans check with the doc if its ok to eat 😄

Actually 3-5 day fasts are good...after the initial hunger pains, the body learns to burn fat, as you enter ketosis. Hunger reduces at this time.

I fast every day between breakfast (6.30-6.45 am) and dinner time (10-11 am) and then between dinner time and Tea Time (16.00) and I don't normally eat after 5 pm since I moved to Thailand in 2009. I know some people refer what I call dinner time as "lunch time" but the school I attended had "dinner ladies" who served dinner (not lunch) at dinner time. i.e. around midday.

You should never eat on an empty stomach
