Stop.

If it helps you maintain a caloric deficit go for it, but you could wipe out a week's worth of moderation on the days that start with S if you're not careful... honestly you should track calories anyway. Because it doesn't let you have treats during the week the likelihood of overdoing it on the weekend is high if you don't track.

Is this something you think you'll be able to do long term/rest of your life? If not what's the point?

Are you testing your blood sugar first thing in the morning and two hours after eating, including weekends?

If it ends up working for you, great, but to me it sounds like a recipe for failure and a quick way to an unhealthy fasting/binging habit.

I thought this was going to be a joke... like the no *kitten* diet. I'm on board for the no *kitten* diet. I don't take any *kitten*.

I'm gonna write a book called the 'WTF diet'.
No watermelon
No twinkies
No french fries

Except on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

I was doing this without realizing that it was a thing. I give myself a treat on Sunday every week and sometimes Saturday. Sometimes I have ice cream or some candy sometimes I eat something greasy and full of fat and carbs. It keeps me reminded that I can still eat "bad food" but only on occasion. It works for me. Lost 20lbs in less than 2 months. I feel great too.

I learned something a very long time ago. Any way of eating that has a name is doomed to failure.

But sure, try it, maybe learn a few things from it, and move on to the next thing. Sustainable changes aren't usually about broad sweeping measures and hard and fast rules. They're incremental, thought out, and customized to suit our individual needs and preferences.

Why are you so hung up on insulin spikes?

If you think you are insulin resistant, make a doctor appt and find out for sure.

Otherwise, get a food scale, start logging accurately and consistently, and reach your goals.

But that's not sexy and exciting

I don't know how you could possibly comply with that. You're doomed.


To the OP: I realize some of this is fun at your expense. Perhaps too much. But also understand that there are so many fads out there that distract people from the basics. The basics will get you 95% of where you want to go. There are no panaceas. Just do what @kimny72 suggests. Think long-term and find something you want to stick with, not put up with.

I like the other 'S' diet: The Sooner you Stop with the Silly fad diets and establish a consistent calorie deficit, the Sooner you'll be Successful.

You recently posted that you lost 103 lbs. What were you doing then that you can't continue doing now? You never specified that in any posts about your weight loss.
