In May of 2017, I began intermittent fasting, starting with a restricted feeding window, then moving to once a day, and then, sometimes, every other day. I can’t say I’m strictly keto when I eat, but that’s what I aim for as I know it helps make fasting much easier. I go into a bit more detail on all this on my personal blog.
First, my stats from May 2017:
- Weight: 311 pounds or 141 kilos, which is about 15 pounds below my high water mark from 2016
- Blood Glucose (30-day average): 137 mg/dL or 8 mmol/L
- A1C (based on a blood test): 7.1
As of today:
- Weight: 256 pounds or 116 kilos, about 70 pounds or 32 kilos under my high water mark
- Blood glucose (30-day average): 99 mg/dL or about 5.6 mmol/L
- A1C (estimated based on 90-day average, will do a blood test in a few weeks): 5.4
I’d say it’s a pretty successful experiment…one I plan to continue for a while.
