My dietician was of sick so I finally managed to see the actual diabetic dietician last week. It was good to talk to someone who knows what their talking about. I’m the wrong side of 50, obese and apple shape so all my weight is around my belly. I also have a inflamed fatty liver. So her advise was low carb or Newcastle diet which is 600-800 calorie diet for 12 weeks. This sends the body into Ketosis which encourages the body to burn fat around the organs instead of carbs. The other bonus is if I loose 14-15 kg in those 12 weeks it is possible to put type 2 into remission at the same time. I’ve opted to try the Newcastle diet and was advised to eat meal replacement items of 200 calories 3 times a day which has all the vitamin and minerals needed etc.
Has anyone else tried this?
I have completed my first week. Lost 5kg already.
The hardest thing has been walking into a supermarket or past the local takeaway and not been able to buy anything to eat.
I’ve not felt hungry. As I’ve drunk loads of water.
This not for the feint hearted.
I wouldn’t like to do this without the dietician and GP backing. At least I know if I get into trouble with it I can get support and advice.
Only 11 weeks to go.
If possible I’d like to hear from others who have done this as I’m going to need support from everyone around me.
Look forward to hearing from you
