Just wanted to keep the thread updated as a full account over time. In March I had to go in for significant back surgery and a set of pre-checks which included a full blood check. HBA1C 33. So the ND still seems to be working just now for me. I am certainly eating many more carbs more often...

Umm. I am not so sure. Cure, well probably not, difficult to know yet but perhaps a start. But it isn't maintenance is it? I am not intending to eat 800 calories everyday of my life - where as if I were KETO I would face into less than 20 carbs a day for the most part. No I think what the ND...

I agree - I am not sure it is everyone - but it is written up on the Newcastle University web site I am sure. It was first led to PROF Ts work.

WOW - that is interesting data. I had already lost a ton of weight when I did ND and thought I would not lose much more. I lost a further 3lbs on average every week including the last of the 8 weeks. Just keeps drawing a line under the fact that we are all different, no one thing is right or...

I think it is great the ND is getting some broader attention not least because it will raise awareness for those who it might work for - give insight from those where it doesn't and start to give scale data for processing. It has also generated a load of debates on air - I have tuned in to...

Yes @bulkbiker your view on ND are well and truly well known. In 4 years I will be able to let you know how it is going. So far so good.

I wasn't saying your number wasn't static - just if it is made up number, mine is constant. I have no scientific evidence to make any assumptions of your scales accuracy. Yes, my scales have loads of points to - but that wasn't the same as the number of points measure on my system which...

My scales do the same - but this test had about 6 probes stuck on me all on my right hand side (I think it was hard to tell laying down. I know I only removed my right sock and at least two went on that foot. As a side note - my scales have been pretty static on my rate - if it is a random...

I am no expert in this - particularly as I am the other side of the fence. But I do think you need as much care as your partner. You should talk to your GP and demand some support yourself even if it is just someone to talk to. I suspect that many partners feel this way - it is like any other...

Umm. Tricky. Breakfast either skip or have eggs and bacon mushrooms and tinned toms. Always a tea and coffee - sometimes home baked peanut butter cookies. Terribly high in calories but I love em (to much). Lunch Depends if I am at home or work. Work to complex so normally nothing or a salad...

:) I dont really want to argue. Your opinion is valid of course. I suspect there is some science in the test but maybe not enough. I also have my own data how many calories do I eat - at what point do I gain and lose weight. And I would say that feels like the same figure. But please do make...

I don't really know.... So they lay you down and put a load of electrodes on you - very much like an ecg and then pass electricity through you. After that she gave me a figure which was what she described as my base metabolic rate. She also measured my vo2max, lung capacity - and a ton of other...

It is hard to believe this was half a year ago. I thought I would update the thread, as always I am just trying to raise awareness of things not just low carb (which is important) and bust some myths even if it is only a sample of 1. That is important point, I am only reflecting on my own...

In your note you asked what was - not what is - and therefore I wanted to give you the full story of the last 15months. As of now, my FBG is late 4's early 5's. I kinda don't think that is the big deal though. Even some time ago my FBG could be 4.3 and by midday it would have climbed slowly...

Was? When? My FBG can be anywhere from about 4.5 - 5. It has come down like a staircase. Took a while to get down at all - post meal would be good then morning FBG 6+ at time. Then a combination of all things from ND - a couple of proper full on 5 day fasts - a week of 600 calorie meals once a...

Fantastic job on your A1C!

I wouldn't worry about a plus or minus 2. If you are doing the same things, eating the same foods then there are so many variables outside your control - sleep, stress, pain - and that is just teh basics ones. Maybe consider another test sooner rather than later to ensure it doesn't go up to...

Just thought I would drop an update in. I dont post so much now, mainly because I haven't got anything new to say. Had my annual BUPA health check, just over a year since the last one and 5 months on from my HBA1C taken at my local GP. HBA1C still good now at 31 - so if you take the three...

49% carbs per 100g. Or 2.5g in a 5g spoonful. I am not sure I have tried this one but i have tried some and it was a lovely treat didnt really impact my BG. I put it on some Low Carb bread which had more carbs in it than the spread. Check on Amzaon - look for KETO rather than Diabetic and...
