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/

Thanks for posting Jason Fung videos - never heard of him, but his science answers a lot of questions about my health. I’m going to try his ‘alternate ‘ day fasting approach. This may be the key to getting my health back. Again, thanks for posting (I’m up to video #4 )
