Now that Christmas has passed for another year, it’s time to count the cost, not just financially but also on the bathroom scales. Every year I say “Not this year, I am not going to overeat” but every year I do, but this year I don’t care because it’s not a problem. This year after overeating for three days I am now looking forward to getting back to my normal eating plan, basically I am sick of the sight of food, and that from someone who used to be a food addict, it feels great.

The reason I am not bothered about gaining a little weight this Christmas is because it will not be a problem to lose it, all I need to do is fast for a few days and everything will be back to normal. I need to get a couple of short fasts in January, maybe a five day and a seven day in preparation for the twenty-eight day fast I am planning for February. One of the big problems with being type 2 diabetic is that most of the time you tend to feel fine, you might drink a little more, pee a lot more and have headaches more frequently, but all the time it is destroying you from the inside out. The only way this damage can be repaired is through fasting induced autophagy, and one of the problems I have is skin damage on my legs. The skin has become thick and scaly, but during my last fast for eight days the damage has receded by about one and a half inches, 38mm on my right leg, my left leg was never as badly affected.  Over a period of twenty eight days the change should be quite substantial, and can be covered with photographic evidence.

There are some changes on this site, and the big one is no longer trying to find ways to lose weight, if you want to lose weight go LCHF, and also use intermittent fasting, and the weight will drop off and stay off. 2019 is going to be an interesting year; I shall be doing more fasting and documenting the results, and getting myself in shape to write my book (From a BMI of 50 to a Six-pack at 70) so stay tuned, there will be some interesting articles.

All that leaves me to do is wish all my readers a very healthy and happy New Year!!!
