erikahollister's Journal, 22 Aug 22

I've been AWOL from FS. My focus has been drawn away, because I've dived down a rabbit hole on another diet website, Data Driven Fasting. I was prescribed a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) and I'm learning on DDF how to train my awareness of my true hunger as reflected in my glucose readings. I've managed to drive my fasting glucose down by 20 points from the 110's into the 80's. And I only eat when my BG - blood glucose is low. I'm learning what that feels like and it definitely teaches me not to snack and eat unless I'm physiologically hungry. This is all good, but I guess I'm eating too much when I do eat, because I haven't lost much weight. I'm being patient with the approach and learning to dial it in to what will work best for me. I'll let y'all know from time to time!

Oh and BTW, today is my 68th birthday. I've lost 68 lbs from my high and feel good about that (still a long way to go!). I'm a lot healthier that I was at 280, 10 years ago!

Are you monitoring calorie intake with your other program? If not maybe you should use FS to count calories when you do eat. Bottom line is no matter when or how often you eat it's the reduced calories that make you lose those lbs. Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳

I would love a CGM and think that everyone with diabetes should have access to them.
