Thank you Milo. I will report back - especially because it is wonderful to havesomeone like you to speak with.
I have always used sea salts (currently use an Italian one, crystals, and another 100% pure) but have slacked off re the apple cidar vinegar (with the mum), which I have had in mind but can easily return to having. I am thinking of speaking to my doctor and get him to weigh me, as he weighed me last time I visited.
I used to weigh myself constantly when on Weight Watchers and have a scale which I could dig out, although not likely to obsess re weight these days. I am fully aware of some weight loss happening to me, anyway.

I drink a glass or two of water, each morning, then later have a black coffee. I also have additional water throughout the day.

It's interesting that you plan on continuing with this eating pattern, despite (perhaps I am assuming this) not aiming for more weight loss? I am hoping I can do the same as you with the same attitude. Still think without the Dr Fung videos of explanation of what is happening to the body, this would make it far less likely to be taken up with such enthusiasm.

Personally, I have zero health issues (as far as I am aware) although I have high cholesterol. Doctor says I measure low/very low for other risk factors for stroke/heart etc and my overall score, despite the cholesterol, gives me a very good outcome. Hence, no medication. I told him I would be able to get my cholesterol down myself through life style changes as I have done this in the past.
Hence, it's really time for me to soon get another cholesterol measure via blood test.

Hi pic,
yes good to get some blood tests done and see how your triglycerides are going.
Mine were 2.2 before IF and now 0.9 although chol was a bit high... over all was good too... doc very happy.

See if you can get a print out of your last blood tests and new ones (you probably do that).
I will be doing IF forever and do not even think about it now .... your last post triggered a memory of when I was 15 and fasted every second day (to lose weight ) as there was no Internet and have no idea where I got that from.

Now I do it for health reasons ..... and have lost 11 kgs ....want another 8 but still eat well.
Remember some days you may need to fast less and (or ) eat more ... see how you feel.
Just reading your post as I write ..... my doc was more concerned about Triglycerides than Chol but please do your research as I am too still learning.

Trust you body .... keep in touch pic.
