Hi all, I’m new to BSD! Just finished the book this morning, started the Fast 800 last Sunday anyway, made a few mistakes and have lost 6.5 lbs as of this morning. It has not been easy, but definitely not as difficult as I was expecting.
I’m not diabetic or pre diabetic, just looking to be much healthier. My morning glucose readings have been in the low 80s. I wonder if those numbers will change much in 8 weeks?
Also, for anyone living on the East Coast, where do you buy full-fat yogurt and cottage cheese? I’ve only seen low fat and fat free.

Hi BeachBabe and welcome!

May I suggest, if you are measuring fasting blood levels (though you’re not Type 2 or pre diabetic) that you look at Bill1954’s postings – he has a wonderful thread called “This Has to Work for Me”.

Bill was trying to reverse his Type 2 and was very focused on his blood sugar, but following various experiments and discussions with doctors, actually stopped doing fasting blood sugar measurements in the morning. I won’t try and explain to you why this was – I recommend reading the thread – it will give you a really good insight.

Very good luck with the BSD, enjoy! 🙂

Thank you! I’ll look for those posts now 😀
