Keto and Me, a Diabetic Journey #4 - Intermittent Fasting, What the Hell is That? 16/8 Method
At the beginning of my Keto journey, I discovered Intermittent Fasting in the form of the 16/8 method. The 16/8 method means that for 16 continuous hours a day, I do not eat. That may sound a bit extreme...
Yes, I walk a lot at my place of business, in fact they financially reward us for doing so...

My window of opportunity opens at 9:00am and closes at 5:00pm...
At 9am, I'm ready for the goods but I have yet to be "starving"...
I feel great when I wake up, my energy level is higher than I can remember, and sometimes I'm not even hungry in the afternoon. On carbs, I was lethargic and tired all the time. My blood sugar was a roller coaster even on meds. Keto has really changed me and I'm not afraid to tell everyone.
If you missed any of the previous editions of Keto and Me, as most of you did, I shall list them here...

Keto is the best!
I eat my supper between 4-6pm and I am usually good till supper the next day, with energy to spare.
I try to eat 3 real meals in my 8 hour window, but I sometimes only have one because I'm not hungry. Crazy, right? I do have a my seeds with me if I need a little something between though. Really depends on the day and how calorie dense my last meal was. Eggs and Bacon gets me going and keeps me full a long time. Thanks for stopping by and Steem the Dream!

Sounds like you are on your way. Keep up the great work and enjoy the journey. Anytime you can get away from meds is always a great alternative.
Grow your meds and eat your way to a healthier you! Steem On Brother!
