Intermittent fasting for weight loss
At 75 and grossly overweight, nondiabetic but with a lifetime history of elevated cholesterol (by today's standards), I changed the way I eat on March 1 to a carnivore diet exclusively for 2 1/2 months. I also practiced intermittent fasting usually 3-4 days a week. Since then, I have eased into more of a ketovore way of eating, only using low-carb vegetables. I have lost 22 lbs and feel wonderful. However, I am worried about muscle loss and tendinopathy. I use the night hours as the longest part of my fasting protocol. If I eat before bed, will this practice affect the fasting? Thanks for your insight. Janis R.
