For a month I ate only every other day. On my feeding day I ate 2 meals: no sugar, no flour. Felt great, no hunger, more energy. Now I'm eating daily, but only 1 meal/day. No sugar, flour foods (breads, pasta, pancakes, bakery items). Few oz. meat/fish per meal, lots of veggies, salad. Never felt better. I only have healthy foods in the house and don't eat in restaurants.

Last month I got a call from a friend wanting me to go on a vacation to Australia (I live in San Diego) Three WEEKS later I get an email saying this lady is in hospice care with end stage pancreatic cancer. I just went for my first blood test ever at age 75. I told the doctor (MD) I fast and she asked me "why do you fast?". I'm part of the 6.8%.

How often do you fast and for how long?

[@amymsmith2540]

I have been fasting 15 years and I’m 51…

[@Vokdor1]

@@amymsmith2540 sorry, what I meant was how many days do you fast for and how frequently do you fast?

[@amymsmith2540]

@@Vokdor1it varies through out the month. I did in and out of fasting because of hormones .. I am wrapping up a 42 hr fast today it’s my 3 rd this month other days it varies from 13-24 hrs

I have just radically changed my diet, etc. How quickly can I hope to feel results.

In the UK the NHS doctors get paid when they prescribe meds for diabetes, high cholesterol and BP meds

[@chrissie.0864]

Wow - is that true ? - I never knew this 😮

doesn't salmon contain astaxanthin, an antioxidant?

[@Jacobjosh17]

What about when you take meds that affect your metabolism like anti depressants - can’t live without them - but they effect my weight?

[@lyndasimpson4085]

Hi how can I have a test done?

[@waterm3682]

Refer to her conversation with Dr Andrew Huberman . They have provided a complete guide from how to ask your DR to prescribe these tests and what tests one should get.

Not sure there is much here for me at 83 and trying to gain weight. I do not want to lose weight.

[@josephtein3835]

Good luck to you! Maybe listening to Dr Michael Greger here on TH-cam can provide helpful suggestions. Also Dr Andrew Weil might have some good talks on healthy aging.

Thought she was going to say the system is “predatory”.

[@Msloverawfood]

Perfect word for our so-called medical institutions from drug companies right on up to hospitals/Dr's. I am totally addicted to Dr Means. She is soo knowledge driven.

[@daveb8449]

Those 40 trillion cells are not only doing trillions of chemical reactions per second, they also all have membranes that are made of cholesterol. The notion of taking a statin to strip away a good bit of the cholesterol and not do serious long term damage to the organs and body in the process,.....is ridiculous.
