For type 2 diabetics or pre diabetics, it’s a super easy way to help your body regain insulin sensitivity.

As someone else had mentioned it’s also very natural. I’ve noticed I feel more energetic when I am fasting. Which to me makes sense to me as thousands of years ago, meals did not just show up at 7-12-19h.

Easy start point. Pack beef jerky/nuts then off to work you go. When you feel real hunger, eat. To many times we eat because of the clock, and not because we are hungry. I started with skipping breakfast. Then noticed I was eating lunch later and later. Dinner started to make me feel too full. Now I ether eat to small meals, Or one normal Dinner.
