Hi everyone.

While reading the book and online it does often say you should check you’re a type 2 but I’m not. Is this just MM ‘covering’ himself?

Look forward to getting to know you all!

I think it means rather than a type 1 diabetic, we did have a couple of type 1 posters I think who were trying to adapt the lower carb way of life, but not heard from them lately. Many of us here are not diabetic or pre-diabetic.

Hi MandyC
Many of us just need to lose weight and this is a great way of doing it. The BSD was designed to lower blood sugar and address pre and type 2 diabetes but bottom line is, pretty much anyone can benefit from a low carb diet and by doing the Fast 800, those of us that have weight to shift will succeed.
Look forward to hearing how you progress … good luck!

I wasn’t diabetic and have so far lost 63.5lb. Almost at my goal of 72lb loss.

I would echo the other posters comments, this is an excellent way of eating and re-teaches your body what it really needs.
