Pre-diabetic, but probably well on my way to a diabetes diagnosis if I didn’t change direction.
These links I’m putting below changed everything for me.
I fasted for 30 days. It wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t hard.
I lost about 40 pounds during the fast and have kept it off since I started intermittent fasting. 40# in one month. Will likely do another 30d fast Sept/Oct.

Fung is a nephrologist from Canada. His practice and additional information is at the website (this is a link to fasting details): https://idmprogram.com/fasting-a-history-part-i/
When you want to go totally crazy you can watch a 6 part, 6 hour series. (Start at video 1 at bottom.): https://idmprogram.com/category/the-aetiology-of-obesity-lecture-series/
This was a very interesting post from a guy who did an experiment on himself - love handles in 21 days! https://idmprogram.com/smash-the-fat-calories-part-xi/
Lastly the Science of Fasting video (Russian and English): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1b08X-GvRs
Thanks for posting Jason Fung videos - never heard of him, but his science answers a lot of questions about my health. Im going to try his alternate day fasting approach. This may be the key to getting my health back. Again, thanks for posting (Im up to video #4 )
You bet. It’s very powerful treatment. My doctor indicated I should continue and we would evaluate my status end of Oct. I will do another 30d fast prior to November. I’ve fallen back some here at the end of the summer, but still down 30# since May.
Day 1 of the next fast started today.
