I started with a fasting diet 4 weeks ago and I am happy with it, because for the first time I feel I am in total control while being able to not feel restricted, not getting anxious about food, being kinda cautious but not counting calories. I kinda combine it with eating less carbs and more protein/fat (chicken, eggs, cheese) but not to the extreme, I might eat some pasta once or two per week and I have a piece of bread with my eggs or cheese. I steadily lost 3kg in 4 weeks, which is just the beginning, but what I find is that I was able to like this process, not want to quit, also my blood sugar is kinda better (140-160. It went over 200 sometimes before), something I had a hard time to control before.

Now, the think is that I have a device to count body fat, don’t know how accurate it is, but it’s weird, it’s always on the 38.6% then goes 38.7 or 38.8 or 38.9 which never happened. Then it goes back to 38.6 but no less. In the past, even without diet and some bad habits I went from 38.5 to 38.7, still not falling, but I wasn’t dieting and didn’t lost weight. It’s strange that now that I loose, I even see slightly higher numbers (even if they are insignificantly small). But I am worried it’s not exactly working yet, I am not losing weight from body fat, although I have to wait. The most annoying thing is to wait till you see if a diet finally works. I like this one, because I can finally follow it, it makes totaly sense with the insulin explanation (I am diabetic type 2) and I noticed some good mental states when I was fasting, less anxiety, being more focused to my work.

How accurate are fat counters anyway? And is it possible that the process in my body doesn’t show positively there but it happens? How long does one need to see finally fat dropping. A month? More?
