“I’m so enjoying your podcast. I began my fasting journey 2 months ago when a friend shared a YouTube video from Dr Pradip Jamnadas. I listened to it, and then we met and discussed the science (she has a PhD in Nursing and Research). Following that she and I scheduled a 3 day fast 2 weeks from that conversation. During the 2 weeks I cleaned up my diet, eliminating all processed foods. The 3-day fast was a breeze. Following that I was hungry for more information, and that’s when I found this podcast. It has been so helpful with staying motivated and understanding how to make fasting a part of my life. I also read Fast, Feast, Repeat and the Diabetic Code. Next is the Complete Guide to Fasting. (I like to read) Since beginning on 30 June (today is 3 August) I am down 16lbs.
Some history. I’m 59, started at 192, gained the weight after retiring from the military 11 years ago and becoming copper poisoned (long story). Like you’ve I’ve tried everything with no success and have spent lots of $$ doing it. I had no blood markers from insulin resistance; however, after wearing a CGM for a couple of months, I definitely have insulin resistance. My DNA also makes me predisposed to type 2 Diabetes.
I just finished my second 3-day fast which was easier than my first. I did have a blood sugar issue at the 80hr point (midnight of 3rd night) when my levels fell into the high 50s and low 60s and stayed there until morning. (normal fasting 80s to low 70s) I broke the fast as soon as I woke because I have never experienced numbers this low. What happened? Should I not do a 3-day fast again for a while?
Thanks again for all the great information and advice. You guys are the best!”
