Started to use Fat Secret 2 years ago. Stopped for two years. Was experiencing type II diabetes and all the symptoms and benefits of metabolic disease. Specifically, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, weigh gain, high blood glucose (BG) etc.
Tried the systemic approach. Step (1) Intermittent fasting. Began eating twice a day, 12 to 1 PM and five to seven PM. This worked but found myself eating in the evening 10 to 11 PM.
(Step 2) Tried many blood Glucose lowering medications. Found them incredibly expensive. Settled upon injectable insulin. Did this for two months, and whereas my eating was off with either consuming large quantities of carbs as well as protein with the the excess calories not going into my blood as BG but into the liver as fat...thus fatty liver.
(Step3) After two months I started controlling my carbs. Found I was so sensitive to carbs even small amounts increased my BG. Thus started a no carb regime.
Two weeks of no carb eating I found myself able to stop taking insulin, My BG was down to 90 to 120.
(Step 4 - calorie reduction) If I just cut my calories to say 1500, as I have done in the past, my body would rest my BMR from 2700 kcal/day to 1500Kcal and weight loss would stop. I saw small weight loss but it was not consistent.
(Step 5 -Fasting two weeks)
Started 24 hour fasts, that turned to 36 hour fasts. Even at 36 hours the ketones in my urine were only mall to medium. The mistake I made comming off my second 36 fast was eating large amounts of food, even if it was non-carb. My BG did not go up but I only lost about two pounds.
(Step 5 Fasting and Autophagy)
Decided on my third fast to hold"fast" until I was showing large amounts of ketone in my urine and autophagy was occurring. When I come off my fast, the meal should contain, no carbs, less than 29g of protein and be less than 1000 Kcal for the whole day.
(Step 6 Exercising) I began brisk daily walks 30 minutes to 60 minutes daily, Also strength exercises. This to push my body to a higher BMR
