I have a question about the episodes Episode 398: Mari Bukofsky and Episode 423: Kate Weakley. I have been doing the 16/8 fasting for years, but now that I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism at age 50 and am perimenopausal, fasting is no longer working for me, and I am putting on weight. Do you have any suggestions?
I have recently heard about the ketogenic diet and its benefits. However, I really enjoy eating carbs like fruit, vegetables, and rice, so I don't want to try the ketogenic diet. Instead, I need to know more information about fasting, specifically doing a 2-3 day fast every month.
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.
