Hi Marlene
I am José Carlos from the Fasting group. Congratulations for this blog. It is no longer a battle, but rather a victory.
And what is more incredible: you are doing it alone, without the support of a medical team.
You're a courageous person.
Best to you.
JC
Thanks, Jose, for taking the time to read the blog and to comment. I have had lots of support, much of it coming from the fasting group. And, of course, intermittent fasting has made a very positive contribution to my success.
