I haven't experienced hypoglycemia for a few years. That was the impetus to get us off wheat and sugar. Also have read the books on reversing diabetes (Dr. Hyman and Dr. Fuhrman among others) with diet which all advocate the same ideas. I was motivated to try eating breakfast later because of the HGH component, although my DH is still more insulin resistant than I am. We have been investigating all these things over the years and seem to go in cycles, but the grain free sugar free approach really has had the most noticeable effect on our weight and insulin receptors. And the idea of fasting has always been attractive to us. We did a fast a few times a number of years ago involving veggie broth and tea but I couldn't go a whole day without something of substance which kind of defeated the process. It probably was also because our systems weren't ready to cleanse that way.
We have since done many types of cleanses so I think we are less toxic and the 16 hr fast is easier on us and feels really good. Sleeping well too so that is a bonus.
