First, I did not want to be expecting to eat a meal, preparing that meal, then testing and finding out I was not allowed to eat that meal. Second, without full day fasting, I felt that my blood glucose and insulin would not go down as quickly as I would like, and it could take twice as long or longer to reach my goals. Third, if I was only skipping meals here and there, it would turn into simple caloric restriction, which I hate, and I would find myself trying to eat small amounts at each meal so that I could eat the next meal, hopefully. And, last but not least, I like full day fasting. It sets me free to not worry about food and I know that I get to eat whatever I want (within reason) the next day. It seems like a good fit for me.<br /><br />If you decide to do some version of this, please be sure to keep me up to date on how it's going, okay? Thanks for reading!<br /><br />Rebecca Rebecca Lathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315286756185845150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003308285087547153.post-86232788922768751492016-03-11T03:27:27.085-06:002016-03-11T03:27:27.085-06:00Hello, new reader.

Absolutely love what you have achieved so far.<br />Have you considered an alternate form of testing and fasting, so before each meal you test blood sugar and if you are not at 83 or lower, you fast until the next meal? That's the idea I got from the optimum nutrition post linking to you. I'm no longer Pre-diabetic, but if I can get my hands on some cheap glucose test strips for the monitor I've been loaned, I'm hoping to give it a try. Well done on what you have achieved so far! I'm enjoying catching up.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072388906822038592noreply@blogger.com
