Hello!
I signed up for this amazing website a few months ago but I didn't really have time to stay and visit it properly.
I'm a health coach and studying Naturopathic Nutrition, in London.
I want to share knowledge, contact with people and learn.
I'm really pleased with this website, it looks amazing 🙂
Welcome here. Please do chime in!
It's certainly the best and most friendly forum I've ever been on. Welcome!

Thank you! That's pretty reassuring 🙂
Welcome!
I am quite new as well.
I'm a huge believer in intermittent fasting due to the way it allows me to control my insulin levels. I've lost a lot of body fat from doing it and feel much better generally. We did evolve as hunter gatherers, so our bodies aren't meant to be eating big sugary carb filled breakfasts in my opinion. Given your area of study, I'd love to know your thoughts on it.

Hello MassagePeople! And welcome 🙂
There are several ways of fasting, like eating nothing for periods of time or just taking juices or certain types of food. If the insulin levels are your concern, then I would say that if you're thinking of juice fasting then try not to eliminate the fibre from the juice, which is so beneficial and would make your blood sugar not to spike. I agree with the idea of not having high sugary carbs, not only in breakfast but also in the rest of your meals, whatever they are. It's always much better to go for the long-chain carbohydrates because the release of the energy is more constant in time and you don't have spikes. Examples: starches like potatoes, wheat, rice, etc.
You can also substitute highly refined sugars for natural sources, like fruit (dates, raisins, carrots, ...).
When doing the fasting, you may have experienced things like increased energy, mental clarity, clear and glowing skin, brighter eyes, even more productive!
Fasting provides a lot of benefits when doing it right. Although we may try to eat as healthy and clean as possible, your body is always detoxifying, not only from food but also from other environmental sources, like cosmetic, air, water, etc. So, doing fasting from time to time is good.
I hope this information helped you 🙂

Interesting topic for discussion. I'd like to go further into this but I don't think 'New Forum Members' is quite the right place - where would be best? I don't think there is a diet section, is there?

Hi Crowan!
What about Diet & Nutrition? It sounds good to me.

Well spotted! I wonder where that was hiding when I looked.
In that case ( I hope you don't mind) I'll ask you a question about your post over there.
