Hello Tina ! cre8ed2serve As a type-2 diabetic (probably taking T2D medicine?), the admins on this site historically - and quite reasonably - would promptly jump in to suggest that you must instead work directly with your doctor. The primary reason for this is that fasting quickly and dramatically l...

Actually, truth be told, my phrasing was more an indication of laziness to avoid looking up the original thread that discussed expectations and probable outcomes. Interesting, from a quick search, that fasting isn't necessarily contra-indicated for thyroid issues. It is possible, with a bit of exper...

Stay the course.
Same thing happened to my friend. Fast forward 3 months and everyone was asking what she did and how ADF works and starting on it themselves.
Never mind what people say.
People have been fasting for centuries.

Wise words ADF.

Roscoe, it is wonderful that you make the effort to regularly visit your mum. Whatever she might say or do, I would expect that underneath it all she is very grateful to you, she just may not be able to express it.

PS Your lawn must grow well!

Thanks for that advice re the scan ADF. :like: Don't know if I want to know my fat mass tho! :razz: We have retirement villages which I guess are the same as the 55 and over communities you mention?

Okay, links now accessed! The one from ADF was information dense and I don't think I concentrated enough to take it all in. I think it mainly concerned reducing the amount of blue light, but not changing the activity the person was doing? And it was relating blue light to a number of (negative) thin...

I will look at the links from you both, thanks! I do know about blue light and sleep, but haven't found that it makes any difference to me (tho unlike ADF, I am a relatively poor sleeper, most of the time - though interestingly, my sleep has been better - well, I have had more and don't lie awake th...

Thanks for your good wishes roscoe . Saw the physio yesterday and don't have any damage apart from the clavicle (and bruising). Muscles and ligaments held up well! He has suggested a bone density scan - as I am a woman of a certain age... Nursing homes... Or "residential aged care" - the p...

I'm so sorry to hear that Nursebean ! I'm glad you are feeling better. Maybe the ADF was too much? Maybe you should try regular 5:2 or 16:8? As far as exercise, I'm sure you get a lot in at work (do you wear a fitbit?) and so maybe you can just exercise on your days off? That's sort of what I do. I ...

Hi everyone! Well recently I returned in full charge ready to start fasting again. I even ventured back to ADF (alternate day fasting or every other day). Anyway, my dreaded ME symptoms have got a lot worse and so I had to scrap the fasting - and ended up comfort eating for a while. For me, I think ...

Welcome Roscoe! Keeping at goal weight requires eating much differently than we did before (that over time caused all the weight gain.) Going low-carb, high fat - Paleo, for example, is one way to go. Favorite recipes will likely need modified - or at least eaten far less often and in lesser quantit...
