Still here. I finished eating at 3 pm yesterday and was pleased with the results this morning. I continue to read more and more about the benefits of fasting. There is a lot of dementia in my family and I am happy to find that fasting can, if not prevent, perhaps slow dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases.
I continue to be amazed by how much carbohydrates I consume in a day even though I am consciously cutting down. My goal is less than 100 grams daily and it is difficult for this old carbohydrate addicted woman to do. In the past I have tried the Mediterranean diet but found it was like WW and my mind was always on the carbs and how much I could get away with. Just like fasting and choosing not to eat at all from time to time, I am choosing not to eat carbs at all rather than seeing how much I can get away with. For me, just cutting it out is easier than limiting.
Best of luck to all of you and your life of more healthy living.
