my diet failure?

This diet was working! I had gained weight occasionally, but as long as I maintained it, I would eventually loose in the end. But I was on one of my ups, but it lasted longer than they typically do and I was trying to figure out what was going on. I had been ignorantly following the plan as determined by pressing a few buttons on my phone. I did not understand the science but, knew that it worked, even my husband commented that it was making a noticeable difference. But, I had noticed that the trends seemed to result as per metabolic confusion or some other diet change, that intern seemed like the fasting was working because I wanted it to, but clearly my body had caught on to what was happening and though my lifestyle was prepared to change forever, the effect would not. I was really upset about it, untilI was doing a but of reading about this new diet, and I learned that the effects are scientific, or maybe better understood as the effect is directly influenced by adherence, not some magical formula that predicted the hours and days of fasting. Further, it was commented on what a benefit the flexibility of it was. Both, In what one could eat and when. I was determined that my weight loss fluctuated because of what I ate, or what time, but that has practically no influence on the abstaining influence. If the effect is not felt, it could be that you do not notice it anymore or it could be to notice greater effect more fasting meaning longer time might be required for certain phases especially, when my blood sugar levels have been commented on a tested to be abnormally high, it stands to reason that it would take longer to lower the blood sugar and thus longer to reach autophagy. And, the great results at first were likely psychosomatic, and why I considered them to be so similar to other diets. It is a definite cause and effect that if I go for 18 hours without eating it will effect my physiology. I have noticed a definite effect in my cravings and desires, and my appreciation of other things.

The best thing about this diet is that it is honest. It is based on the principle of moderation. Indulging has an obvious effect, so fasting is the opposite and neither ought to be done without the other too much of one thing will surely desensitized a body.

It further makes sense that a healthy person would not indefinitely loose weight. My BMI snapped to it's  recommended Ideal, and I am not at all over weight, to be less would be unhealthy, and Why would I want that anyway? I always notice that when I exercise I gain weight, but I do not say that means exercise it bad. It likely says that muscle weight more than fat mass.  My clothes fit and that should be enough. I want to be thinner than I was, but my grandmother told me not to get sucked into wasting my time and effort of being skinny. She did and felt good about it at the time, but really she could have used her time better, and she just looks sickly in retrospect...kinda like looking at high hair in old pictures. At the time is seemed cool, but it is not natural and was purely a passing fad.
