Is it possible that after starting a fasting schedule, my intestinal health improved, resulting in feeling less swollen and less gassy?
I have been intermittent fasting for the last two years to control my A1C, which has been very hard to keep within the normal range. I wear a Freestyle Libre periodically, which helps me monitor what I eat. My problem is keeping a healthy weight while keeping my A1C low. Fasting and eating a low-carb diet cause weight loss, so am I missing key vitamins in my diet that would help my thyroid and liver function better?
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.
