So far, no hunger. Thirty or more years ago, there was this idea passing around the dieting world that keeping one's calories below five hundred would keep the body from recording the weight. I doubt it, but a similar number is circulating again. I have not investigated it, but there is a book about eating for five days and fasting on weekends. Then, I learned that the authors' definition of fasting was anything below five hundred calories. I may read the book someday.

According to Dr. Fung, simply lowering calories without taking into account what kind of calories they are may lower one's metabolism. This will happen in spite of the exercise one does, so he says to concentrate on what raises insulin rather than raw calorie counts. He's not alone. Many doctors have become more vocal about this. Fats have very little effect on insulin. Some have called my fasting protocol the "Fat Fast" because I allow myself various fats. Whatever you call it, it is working. I also take supplements per my doctor's instructions. I am feeling much better than I did last week before I started this. Last week, the pain made me ready to die.

so the idea is to not raise your insulin, fat does not raise glucose so you don't get a rise in insulin. And the effect of this is??? I am guessing that this encourages the body to harvest its protein from the body??

Thanks, your concern blesses me. I carry around a lot of extra proteins that can be recycled. Some of it is in the form of out-of-control renegades that need to be eliminated (cancer), and the rest is loose skin.
