Marty’s article to feature the question: What Did We Learn From the Data-Driven Fasting Challenge?
https://optimisingnutrition.com/data-...

Fasting glucose is a long term game and is largely a function of weight loss. Chasing a lower trigger will help in the long term. The DDF app and the challenges guide people to prioritise protein earlier in the day if hungry and BG is above trigger.” From: https://optimisingnutrition.com/dawn-...

“Once you use up the surplus energy [elevated glucose] in your bloodstream, your body will start feeding on the fat stored in your vital organs as the first priority.” —Marty Kendall, https://optimisingnutrition.com/does-...

Data-Driven Fasting uses your personalised blood sugar ‘trigger’.  When you feel hungry and think about eating, you simply test your blood sugar with a glucose meter (   • Eating by Meter #BloodSugar, #DataDrivenFa...  ) to validate your hunger to see if you need to refuel. You will gain all the benefits of fasting (e.g. increased insulin sensitivity, improved blood sugar levels, weight loss, fat loss, and autophagy) over the long term without waking your inner lizard brain and triggering the binge-restrict cycle. 

Episode #16 (https://apple.co/3dSaHki) of the THM podcast is titled “Get Your Blood Sugar Under Control”. Serene says, “And if you’re doing THM and somebody asks you, so what’s this all about? The take home point is stabilising your blood-sugar. So that’s the take home point of the whole thing, the whole 650 jolly-paged [original] book, [https://amzn.to/3mOs0qB (affiliate)]. That’s what we were trying to get across.” Pearl added, “It’s the foundation for health; it affects all your hormones, because it affects insulin, which is your master hormone. You see, blood sugar, high blood sugar, creates high amounts of insulin in your body, and insulin affects every single hormone, other hormones in your body.” In Episode #147 (https://apple.co/3gi7uNs) a listener question was shared, asking Pearl how she knows how carbs affect her blood sugar. Pearl answered that when she first started the THM plan she did test her blood sugar (10min15sec); Entire timestamp: 8:07min-19:45min.

When I am helping friends try out the idea of using a glucose meter as a fuel gauge (an idea taught by Marty Kendall of OptimisingNutrition.com via one of his blog posts: https://bit.ly/2LSVZPF), I point them to Walmart's ReliOn Premier that has everything in one box for $20 (meter, lancing device, lancets, 50 testing strips, carrying case) - that $20 purchase lets them test themselves 50 times before they need to get more test strips. A resupply of 100 test strips will cost $18.00 - 18¢ ea.)

I am on my third year of using the annual Dario subscription that includes UNLIMITED test strips, the offer found here at this link: https://bit.ly/2P3BNfg - $200 per year.

I'm NOT getting ANY discount, credit, or kickback for referrals to Dario; I am just a very satisfied customer. Dario's Customer Service has always been very responsive and helpful when I needed to call with questions or asking for help. (888-665-7201)
