Diabetes

I will add this to my watch later list for sure. Longer you fast the better it is for you , you can enter a stage called autophagy, where your body recycles old/bad cells. My longest fast is 37 hours, I use a fasting app called ZERO and I'm a member on reddits sub Fasting which in very informative, there is folk who do it for weight loss , for health, to feel better, for longevity.To think some folk fast for 7 days and find it easy, there was a Scottish chap(worth a Google search) who fasted for over a year.
My mother in law thinks fasting is dangerous and you should have 8 small meals a day, I explained to her fasting is natural humans have been doing it for millenia, we didn't have fridges back in the day or Asda's

Brother, the doc echoes your sentiments, exactly!

I'm certainly doing this day of the New Year.

Right now, I have a lot of junk to get rid of!

Surely denying your body of food isn’t a good thing?

It is. It's natural.

Nobody is denying their body of food in the long run. It's a temporary state that's been done for a thousand years through necessity and or spiritually. And, even before then, a forced way of living.

It's only since medieval (rich people only) times has meals throughout the day has happened and since processing foods has become stable have we indulged ourselves with food at any point of the day we deem fit.

This is just about regaining control of what we put in our mouths and although the good doc didn't wander too far into this field, it's about getting rid of the poison toxics processed food give us in our bodies.

It's bigger than the 'denial' argument.

Can thoroughly recommend a book called “Glucose Revolution”. The core messages are about changing the order you eat your meals and understanding what foods are doing to your body. For example a ham and salad sandwich will create far more of a glucose spike than if you take the salad out and eat that first, then the ham, then the bread. Same food but completely different outcomes.

For any one who has diabetes. Or you find, in my case blisters on your todger or the smell of yeast from your groin even behind your ears and near your nose and top lip. Tell your doctor and do something to reduce your carb and sugar intake. The yeast causes fugus which smells like fuck. Best to shower ever morning and before bed but make sure you dry yourself of well. These funguses love yeast and warm damp places.

STOP FUCKING ABOUT NOW and go on a diet stop eating carbs as much as you can. I’ve been kidding myself that I was being good as much as I could

I have just been told I have neuropathy. I have pains in my feet and hands which have recently just started. I also get cramps in my hands feet and calf.

Please take my advice. Diabetes cause all kinds of shit

Look at replacing starchy carbs with fibrous/veg types and include more healthy fats alongside lean,none processed,meats and other protein sources.

Using more calories in exercise than you are intaking is a massive part of controlling your health, less calories in than you burn is a great starting point.

The modern way is going on a faddy diet which you can't/wont stick to instead of looking at changing your entire eating regime and eating a balanced diet that your body needs.

Water is great!

That or black coffee or tea, at a push.

Not sure you really need when trying to get things under control.
