Hi Wally! Hmmm, others like me? Maybe!
I've always guessed that fasting would probably work well for me. Over the decades I've noticed a tendancy to skip meals and just go without for spells, or eat only small portions. Sometimes I make myself eat just because I
think I should. I can't really explain it well. When I first heard that fasting suppresses the immune system I thought... ah-ha! Perhaps my subconcious had a clue all along? I've accepted my skinny self but am nervous of potential muscle loss as I am already physically weak. Last week I visited my s-i-l and she mentioned being on a new weight loss program at work... she says it's low starch. They're allowed to eat moderate amounts of starch all day, but none after 6 pm. So far (2 months in) she's lost 15 lbs.
It is not that I avoided "trying the diet in over 20 years"... just found out about it 1
1/2 yrs ago when first coming to KA. I'd easily give it a quick test for 2-3 wks but from all that I've read in here, it's unlikely I'd notice any benefit unless I went a full blown 6 month trial. By all accounts, I think I've had AS far too long and eaten far too many nsaids. I'm self-employed and must earn $$ to avoid losing my home and could not hope of working (or walking) 1 wk (let alone 6 months) without nsaids.
I'd never try talking someone out of trying this route, nor do I hesitate to suggest nsd/lsd to those who seek an alternative. I've never considered myself on a 'side' persay as much as reflected on my own situation and options.
Yep, I waded, but wet feet are no big deal right?
And I suspect He would be just as happy on the left side!
Thanks for your interest Wally!
