started to clean things up a while ago, and got into intermittent fasting. would go from 11 pm to noon the next day with out food, just coffee. then I added oatmeal, just old fashioned Quaker Oats, plain, uncooked, in a bowl with milk. I would let it sit for about 5 minutes, then eat it. took a few days to get used to it. now, I love it. then I just cut out the bullshit, fast food, chips, no alcohol, (don't drink soda anyway). after a while, I like how I felt, not bloated, not feeling full, no 6 meals a day bullshit.so I did my blood tests yesterday, and the results are in. my cholesterol, which I do take a small satin, is virtually undected. LDL-44/ total-82/triglycerides-88/ HDL, (which is always low-33) lowest numbers I have ever had. my bun and creatine had been creeping up, they were all normal. every thing was in the normal range.and my glucose level was 97, best it has ever been. I'm just blown away about the changes that I feel intermittent fasting has done for me. the weight loss has not come yet, but I still trying.
