Good morning! Feeling great and the weight is coming off slowly but surely. it's been a while since I weighed in at 170... My weekly Friday morning health check had good news - and not so good. The good being - obviously - the weight loss but also blood pressure which was a solid 117/73. Not so good? Elevated fasting blood sugar reading which is in the pre-diabetic range at 116. Should be 100 or below. I started doing a more aggressive form of intermittent fasting about 10 days ago, which is referred to as OMAD: one meal a day. So I eat absolutely nothing (just some black tea, a cup or two of black decaf coffee and water) until 5 pm every day, and then I have a mostly whole foods plant-based meal around 6 pm. And then the fast starts again at 7 pm. So about 22 hrs of fasting total. I was expecting my fasting blood glucose level to drop below 100 first thing in the morning, but for some reason it has actually gone up. I know there is an explanation out there somewhere, I just don't know enough about the 'dawn effect' which I know can cause this. More research needed... Also I have been slacking off with exercising lately due to work demands, will get back on the bike for longer rides. Will report back next Friday... Wishing you all every success on your diet, weight and health journey!!
