HI - I'd love to learn from this forum about IF results and A1C successes and do's and dont's! I am 3 weeks into IF and wow - what a life change! I fast for 22hrs and eat between 5p-7p, M-F and fast for 16hr on weekends. Meals are lots of veggies, lean protein and low-sugar berries mostly. Nuts and Basil seeds added when possible. It is amazing how much I don't miss food and how much better I feel. My goal is not to lose weight but to help reduce an A1C that is creeping up due to genetic predisposition to Diabetes. My pcp does this and recommended it to me. My energy is up and I walk the dog 3 miles/day and go to gym for strength training 2/wk. No more naps!! And my iced coffee intake has been halved to one glass a day since I don't need the energy boost. I have learned how to make my own vitamin water and have a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of pelligrino water, black coffee or herbal tea for liquids during the fast. Question for this group: Does anyone follow Dr Gundry's low lectin diet? If so, what are your results, impressions? Thank you everyone for sharing!
