Let's hope it works haha. Not yet convinced. Remember 2 months ago the Honey Diet had the exact same hype around it, and then it turned out not to work for quite a few people including yours truly.

Im 2017 the place i worked had unlimited soda. I wanted to try OMAD but I, a person with their brain off, equated fasting with "no food" so i continued to drink 3-4 cans of soda throughout the day and would have a nice dinner of meat + starch in the evening. My stable weight moved from 210 pounds to 195 in 6 months and even though my weight fluctuated a lot after that, as low as 163lbs trying different diets and all, ive only been above 200 pounds once since then... And that was water retention after a really bad reaction to something last year.

I always thought that was a borked first attempt but its been my only weightloss that stuck with me through the last decade so maybe sugar fasting was made for me all along? Nervous to try again given i havent had soda in 5 years at this point, but I'm tempted.

Put me down for someone this diet (well, honey diet, at least) doesn't work for. Though it could be because I have a known liver condition that (I'm told) indirectly limits my body's ability to process glucose.

Check the last section of this post if you want to know what I did and how I felt. https://tyleransom.substack.com/p/diet-trials-of-2024

It just doesn't make me feel good. I'm better off with intermittent fasting and/or no-PUFA keto. Potato diet also doesn't make me feel bad.

It has been fascinating watching this blow up in the last few weeks.
