Weird, I have had the same thing happen to me before. Exact same foods, too! Boiled up tons of chicken broth with spices and hot sauce in them... and went through cartons and cartons of orange juice.0

Make your own broth with chicken or beef, its healthier and you can salt it to taste. Homemade soups are the easiest thing in the world to make!0

Yes, I am type 1 diabetic. What I am saying is that while I had the flu, the only thing I ate was soup and oranges and now fast forward over a month later and I am still craving them. Is this bad or am I okay? Is it a sign of something like maybe some sort of deficiency or an addiction? Should I even be giving it a second thought?
Okay I got it now. Is it bad? No. Unless your Catholic and your priest isn't an orange fan. I think the soup(at least the sodium) may be something you want if you are moving(exercising more). As for a second thought. . . .nah. Enjoy it and move on.
I am catholic. O.O Hahahahahaha

Being from Syracuse, I wondered what this was about too...0 -
Nothing wrong with oranges. I sometimes eat 3 a day as they are so good at the moment. But you should cut out the soup. that sodium wont do you any good.0

It's called alternate day fasting, and it has a bit of research backing it up from Dr. Kirsta Varaday. It was the precurser to 5:2, which came about because the researchers thought that alternate day would be too difficult for people to adhere to, so they cut it down to 2 days a week, and allowed 400-600 cals on fast days, which means that you may not get the actual health benefits you're looking for from 5:2, but it's easier and you still lose weight.
OP, if you're a Type I diabetic, how is it that your sugars are only tested when you see a doc? Don't you have a monitor at home for testing? Also, did you check with your doc before fasting? Fasting is not recommended for diabetics.0 -

I never said my sugars were tested only when I saw a doc so I am not sure how you got that impression. I have a meter and I already said in a previous comment that I test 3-6 times a day.0 -

Sorry, my bad. I was skimming and misread "blood pressure" which is what you said was tested at the doc's. Regardless, the rest of my question remains, as fasting is very ill-advised for diabetics.

Well, like I said before, it started with my endocrinologist telling me to abstain from breakfast and just kind of spiraled from there. I feel good and my BG is regulated. My doctor is happy with me too so I figure why change course?0 -
I might. This is a weird craving to have.0

I don't know how well I trust Dr. Oz. He always has these weird weight loss supplements on there. I know he is not directly endorsing their use but he lets people come on who praise them as if they are holy grails without much (if any) critique.0
