      This and my eating disorder are best friends 🙃 thankfully, body dismorphia bullies both of them harder than they bully me, so I end up hot.

      I also do this but apparently this can be a contributing factor to developing diabetes if you’re already at risk.

        I’d love a source on this.

        I’m in my late 50s and do IF. My last blood tests came out perfect, as in my doctor was almost pissed that she couldn’t tell me to quit something :)

          I don’t know if there is one. Intermittent fasting can actually help with diabetes I was told, but not sure about full day fasting with one meal at the end.

          I suspect the issue is you get hit with a bunch of carbs and sugars all at once and it overloads your pancreas’s ability to produce insulin.

          If you candy carb load on withdrawal at 18.00 regulary that will surely strain your insulin receptors a lot.

          Would be good to know if the claim IF>Diabetes specifies different ways of doing it.

        The body makes energy from stored fat even if you don’t eat. But it’s a shallower pool that depletes easier so you need to work at a slower, sustainable pace.
