[quote=Anonymous]17 years prediabetic, never obese, never high BMI,  extremely fit. Though some years can carry 10+ extra pounds   Bad genetics.   Routinely fast 14 hours - going on several years.  My doctor encourages it. a1C and sugars great

My sibling (not in DC area) extremely fit, never obese but carried a few more pounds.   Became diabetic last year.  Now Routinely fasts 16-20 hours.  Diabetes under control - A1C great now.  Doctor encourages fasting as well and took him off meds

For me fasting has never  equated to weight loss.  My sibling had initial weight loss and now in maintenance.  We both feel much better fasting.  Don’t get those roller coaster sugar spikes as much.

We don’t fast during social events.  We Eat healthy.  Eat lower carb than most people  - but not low carb.

I would strongly encourage fasting for anyone  / diabetic  but would not suggest as magic bullet for weight loss - maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t.   I’m skeptical on extremely long fast benefits.
