In this episode of Linguini’s Dough, we interview Daniel who created www.fastingdice.com Daniel had a near life death experience, and used intermittent fasting to save his life.
Daniel had a near death experience in a end of life room about 4 years ago. He found out he had blood clots in his lungs and right leg. He had multiple clots in his lungs, and already had some heart problems diagnosed in his life. Daniel says his heart problems were fairly common and not to much of an issue, the blood clots just make the heart hurt worse. He was told if he does not lose weight in five years he wouldn’t make it.
Daniel has tried Intermittent fasting and Prolonged fasting. Intermittent fasting is a daily fast where you choose how long you go without eating, and choosing a small time frame where you can eat. Prolonged fasting is going six days without fasting, and then eating. If you have read the title, you can take a guess which one worked better for Daniel.
Daniel had tried other things like calorie counting, points systems, classes and looked into weight loss surgery. He opted out of it because he had a family member who got it, and lost a bunch of weight. A few years after he gained all the weight back, and Daniel did not want this to be a one time thing and done, and come back. It also adjusts your digestive system, but that could not go back.
Daniel encourages you to speak with your doctor for which fasting is right for you, as they know you and he Daniel does not know you.
