[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been intermittent fasting for about four years now. I started during peri-menopause when I had really bad symptoms, including what felt like early onset dementia. I also reduced inflammatory (for me) foods, and limited carbs by not eating grains. I eat a very whole foods, vegetable heavy and protein heavy diet with things like salmon, olive oil, broccoli, chicken, etc. I generally just have dinner, but I'm flexible, on both the diet and the timing around family and celebration (so I would go out to a lunch, but not have dinner, or just a light snack). My weight is normal and I feel great. The fasting without lowering carbs was undoable for me, but where I am now is really sustainable (and my cognition is much, much improved).[/quote] Not OP but I really want to know more about this! How long did it take for your symptoms to improve? Do you think your diet or your eating schedule helped the most or was it a combination ? Do you not eat any grains at all? What kind of carbs do you eat? Sorry for the ambush but I’m trying to do the Galveston diet which is basically what you’re describing (it’s for peri/menopause symptoms) and I am struggling with it and wondering if I can still get some improvement with half-assing things.
