[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are real doctors at real research universities (Harvard, Johns Hopkins, USC, etc.) doing real research on the health and weight benefits of fasting.

It is providing real relief as in reversing diabetes and fighting cancer.

I really wish all of you people who are panicked by discussions of fasting would read some of the medical literature or even look for ted talks on this.

If you have diabetes and your doctor tells you to fast for some period of time, fine. I have yet to see a person on this thread who says that she is engaging in a fast on doctor's orders, or with a doctor's advice. I see people encouraging each other on as a way to lose weight and insisting they've never had such a clear mind, or such a skinny body.

I am the PP.  my DH was diagnosed with diabetes almost 2 years ago.  He was not obese but he was somewhat overweight and we were stunned as it sort of came out of nowhere. The doctor prescribed metformin  and suggested a low  carb diet.  I read the diabetes code (by Dr Jason Fung, also author of the obesity code).  My DH did not want to be on medication for the remainder of his life.  Diabetes is a horrible diseased and Type II is entirely controllable by diet.  DH monitored his blood sugar daily, never took the metformin, we took processed foods and most flour and sugar out of our diet and he started 16:8 intermittent fasting with the occasional 24 hour (dinner to dinner) fast. He went back to the doctor 6 months later, he lost 20 pounds and his A1C was in the normal range and it has been good ever since.  [/quote]
