Fasting blood sugar 189, weight 180. When stuck, go to intermittent fasting! I will try to eat only between 10 am and 3 pm today. By eating a late breakfast, a spinach omelette, I also ate a late lunch, at 2:30. Delicious porkchop cooked with ghee, rosemary and garlic. Fresh veggies out of the garden: blackeyed peas, steamed okra, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes. Completely satisfying, within my macros, and right now I feel I can fast until morning. Our peaches aren't quite ripe yet but hubby found a windfall and gave me a slice of it -- yumm! Macros 9/73/18, net carbs 24.58, calories 1518, fiber 11.1
I still don't have that fiber right -- it should be 20 or 25 daily. I need to look at some high fiber foods to add.
I successfully did IF today. I did not get hungry after 3:00 pm. I rode my stationary bike for 30 minutes -- haven't done that in a while. On our evening walk, we reached .6 miles and then back from the county road to our house! Yay! Bedtime blood sugar was 133. I can do this!!!
81.6 kg Lost so far: 2.3 kg.    Still to go: 15.9 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.

Preventing obesity with 6-8 hour time-restricted eating (TRE) is promising. Eating just two meals in a day — breakfast at 9-10 a.m. and late lunch or early dinner at 5-6 p.m.(thus introducing a daily 16-hour fasting period) - works good enough for me even without counting calories. It is interesting to note, that 8-hour vs 6-hour TRE window seems to be more appropriate in order to maintain lean body mass https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7258210/

paubut, I'm going to do this day-by-day, not make long term commitment to TRE, and see how well I can handle it. Thanks for encouraging me! I'll check the website you sent. I lost 2.5 pounds yesterday and the fasting blood sugar went down a little. That is my main goal, to drop that glucose.

Metabolic effects of intermeal fasting https://www.nature.com/articles/nrendo.2017.153 Eating two larger meals a day (breakfast and lunch) is more effective than six smaller meals in a reduced-energy regimen for patients with type 2 diabetes: a randomised crossover study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4079942/
