For anyone interested in knowing more about intermittent fasting, here's a link that offers good information.

Dr. Fung is a Toronto based nephrologist. He completed medical school and internal medicine at the University of Toronto before finishing his nephrology fellowship at the University of California, Los Angeles at the Cedars-Sinai hospital. He joined Scarborough General Hospital in 2001 where he continues to practice.
He convincingly argues that obesity is a hormonal disorder that can only be conquered by eating in a way that brings hormones into balance.
His book the Obesity Code is very insightful.

I found about Dr. Fung's book in a Whole30 Facebook post, and read both his books. In addition to the Obesity Code, he also wrote "The Complete Guide to Fasting." So I (who never would have considered fasting before) am actually on day 5 of a 7 day fast. (Oh heaven forbid, all my muscles will just waste away). When I began, I just planned on fasting from dinner one night until lunch the next day, but it was so easy I just continued on. I feel great, and have lots of energy (more than usual).
I was very recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, and don't have an appointment with my doctor until early June. I can hardly wait to see what my blood work shows.0 -
That's awesome Susankoble...how are you handling your medications while you fast? My first fast started the same way as yours but my longest fast thus far has been 5 days. I have to admit I'm a bit envious. :-)
I have High BP. I haven't taken meds in about a month. I normally take 3 pills daily. My BP today was 127/73...which is awesome!!! I'm excited~!0
