well here i am again. A post to say that i am back on the horse. its been a year of "modified" eating and again weight gain. I however just reread the post i did last year and realize weight loss is possible. It is nice to go back and reread what i was feeling and thinking when i was successful and when i failed. In the past year i have done loads of research on Keto, IF and long term fasting. this science i new so the research is limited and much on these subject are speculation or inconclusive research (one study will say one thing another the opposite). Being someone who has been a long time diabetic, with high insulin resistance i am starting to understand why some of my attempts did not produce the results i was looking for.
Insulin effects and how it affects the body is a new field of research now in the diet community. i now understand that it is not only blood sugar levels that affect my diabetes, and not only Ketones that influence my fat burning. Insulin plays a big part of this picture and there is no conclusive way to measure and respond to insulin levels in the body. One thing that is a fact is almost anything can have an impact on insulin levels and insulin is major hormone that is responsible for weigh loss or gain. Also the Circadian rhythm of the body has a role to play. What you eat and how often you eat and the time of day you eat all have some role to play. During the day your body is primed for digestion and processing of food but at night the body want to shut down the processing of food and rest your digestive system and switch over to repair and maintenance. However when we eat that triggers the digestive system to break down food and store energy thru the release of insulin. Insulin prevents the body from using stored energy and repairing or replacing old or damaged cells. By not eating at night we allow the insulin level to drop the body to start to repair and recover. The pancreas can stop to produce insulin and take a break. the body can start to use the glucose it has stored.
Last year I was on to something with IF and keto diet. I have been trying IF with a modified keto diet. this may have some impacts on my weight (some loss of weight) but mainly it has allowed me to maintain this weight in spite of the "cheats". Taking all the information above along with my observations from last year, i am able to start to see how food interacts with my body and how inspire of good blood sugar level i still stall and regain weight.
So now my plan is to limit and control insulin levels and production. This will be done thru IF and Keto following the Circadian rhythm to allow for rise and fall of insulin to match natural patterns as well as periods of Extended fasting 36hr + to allow the body a long time with low insulin level in order to try to reverse insulin resistance.
Long story short - I am trying again and have evolved my understanding of this journey. Like i said before each step backward is a chance to understand and try something new. I am ever hopeful that i can heal my body and in time return it to a healthy weight.
Wow this was a long ramble, but i hope everyone find the path the leads them to success, not all paths are the same but are equally valid. Good Health to everyone and hope to update with some good new soon.
