Weight Loss

[poliphilo]

Ailz has been losing weight by fasting. This week she went four days without food.

I took this picture for her to put on www.fatsecret.com- where she blogs as minnitata. Go over there and talk to her about it and she'll explain how it works.

She's never ever been this light or this slim before.

Fasting seems to suit me. Being a diabetic (even though I'm now classed as pre-diabetic) I know that I'll never be able to eat many carbs without my blood glucose and weight going up. So rather than do without permanently I'll be fasting - probably to fasting 18 hours and eating 6 hours a day - with longer fasts if I know I'm going to eat cake or fruit or the like. Feasting and fasting is what our bodies were made for.

I went over to fatsecret.com but it's a subscription-only site and I'm too lazy to register. But I looked around at some public sites, and those 18/6 or even one-meal-a-day plans might work for me. Or just cutting out carbs for all but one meal and that one in the evening.

18/6 is really good. A lot of people do one meal a day, mainly in the evening. Once you're on low carb and high fat - only eating food as made by nature - I found, that you just don't get that hungry feeling - I do drink a lot of water.

That shade of purple really suits you as well!

I think I will be trying your fasting plan as well.

That sounds sensible enough - and if it works for you then I don't really need to have an opinion about it anyway.

Also, I know it's not about the looks, but you're getting quite the hour-glass figure and it rather suits you.
