>>>>>See, here's the thing for me with the whole low carb thing -- I feel that a lot of the time folks are missing the point of Fast5, which is that it's not about needing to eliminate any food group, or do low-carb. Sure, you can incorporate it, but that's not the point to me. Low carb is designed to regulate your blood sugar / insulin / leptin levels, and Fast5 already does that regardless of your food choices during your intake window. <<<<<<
Wish it were true. Fast 5 does help regulate insulin and leptin. But if it will repair damaged metabolism depends on how damaged you are, for how long and the the specific nature of the damage. The idea that weight loss ipso facto will resolve all insulin resistance is simply not the case. It does happen, no question. But not for everyone.
So...if you think you have blood sugar issues, it is foolish in my opinion to blindly believe that any way of eating will resolve it for you. If you get a glucometer and test yourself, you will know what is working.
I loved Fast 5. I lost weight on it. ( all of the 35 pounds I needed to lose) But I discovered my high blood sugar after 6 months on it. since then ( 1 1/2 years ago) I have experimented with many ways of eating to get BG down, and find that
I do better with three meals all low carb. When I went back on Fast 5 it went up .
But I also know of diabetics who swear by Fast 5 (also doing it in a low carb way)
Blood Sugar is pretty complex.
