I continue to incorporate fasting into my life -- especially as I am recovering from T2 Diabetes. Fasting helps significantly deplete the sugar that has been stored all over the body. Then by not eating carbs/sugars/grains etc. I am not bringing more sugars into the system. Fasting also is very good for reducing insulin resistance which is the driving mechanism for creating diabetes in the body. Dr. Jason Fung's "The Obesity Code," "The Diabetes Code" and "The Complete Guide for Fasting" are the best books for understanding and overcoming weight issues and/or Diabetes.
