Tracking ketones and GKI
As I’ve said before, I’ve been living the Intermittent Fasting and Keto Friendly lifestyle for over 2 decades and fell into this lifestyle quite by accident. It’s only recently that I learned that it’s the latest diet craze (hopefully not a fad). As such, I have never measured my blood sugar or ketone levels (never…

Signs you might be harming yourself through intermittent fasting
I highly doubt that eating one meal per day or limiting yourself to a window of time per day for eating will harm anyone. I think we all eat too much already. But, like anything else, too much of a good thing can always turn into something bad. As long as you’re not going to…

Don’t fast just because our ancestors may have… do it because it works
The article starts out by kind of trashing the idea of intermittent fasting.

New book touts recent science on Intermittent Fasting
Fasting is one of the biggest weight-loss trends to arise in recent years.

Info on Early Time Restricted Feeding
Or more commonly known as only eating during the day. I’m not sold on this pattern of eating as it really sounds like the 3 meal a day typical eating pattern. The only difference is that you stop eating just before a typical dinner hour, 6p to 7p. Eating only during the first eight to…

Tips on how to start fasting
The #1 tip I have on how to start fasting is to just stop eating. It really isn’t any more simple than that. “Fasting is mental over physical, just like basketball and most other stuff in life,” says Enes Kanter, the 6-foot-11 center for the Portland Trail Blazers. Raised in Turkey, Kanter, 27, is a…

Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Attacks are increasingly killing people age 49 to 64
If you’ve read the books by Dr. Jason Fung, The Obesity Code and The Diabetes Code, you may already know that it looks like there is a cure for Type 2 Diabetes. If more people are cured of Type 2 Diabetes that will markedly reduce the number of people dying from Heart Disease. What’s the…
