I like fasting. I usually fast for 1 day (and the night before and after). It's easier than dieting. It really helps drain the liver of glycogen. I consider it imperative given my conditions.

I may have sleep apnea, hypertension, dyslipidemia obesity and gout (the classical metabolic syndrome)... but I'm not at all hyperglycemic. My hlab1c readings have always been stellar.

20 years ago a doctor tried to scare me, told me I was tipping into diabetes and I needed to follow his extreme diet plan or I would become diabetic and not be able to reverse course. I followed his plan for a while. Anyhow here I am 20 years later, I still have low blood sugars, I'm not diabetic nor hyperglycemic.

So the theory that insulin management or blood sugar control will solve all the cases of obesity, or all the cases of metabolic syndrome, cannot be correct. It might be true in some or even many cases, but there is something else going on in my case.

But yes, I like fasting. I find it pretty easy actually.
