    FURLOUGHED...... THEN LET GO

    Thanks - As I understand things, you can look for work elsewhere to supplement income but you cannot work for your current employer whilst on furlough. It transpires I am entitled to 80% because that is what I agreed to when management approached me. They didn't explain what alternatives I had...

    FURLOUGHED...... THEN LET GO

    I was furloughed by my company back at the start of this and 3 weeks later they terminated my contract of employment. They had to give me 3 months notice. They were paying me 80% of my salary and said it would return to 100% when I returned to work. Now they have terminated my contract, they...

    Hi Smudge, welcome and good luck. I did the ND, it’s not easy, but keep going no matter what - It’s worth it in the end, One tip.... be careful when you finish the ND.... plan week 9 and your transition from ND to your ongoing eating/diet.

    END OF WEEK 8 & END OF NEWCASTLE DIET

    Hi I thought the 75% referred to when coming back to eating after being on ND, I.e. that you started at 75% of your intended intake and gradually increase over a few weeks? I was running every other day after ND and that was for half an hour minimum per day. Don’t understand the “set” point bit...

    END OF WEEK 8 & END OF NEWCASTLE DIET

    Jc man - I started on the “Low carb program” which meant I was targeting 100 carbs a day But quickly realised this wasn’t working so dropped to 50 a day, still not working, asked a few questions about fat intake levels etc. Decided to go Keto at 20g per day but weight still went on. No junk food

    END OF WEEK 8 & END OF NEWCASTLE DIET

    Hi Peerless Went to the Dr with results of bloods taken and he was gobsmacked! Since, I have been trying Low carb with poor results at first. I think I took the High Fat part of LCHF too literally. My weight and BG elevated. Am now 14st 5lbs and bloods up to around 11.5 Can’t get my head wrapped...

    LCHF ....... PUTTING WEIGHT ON...... BG GOING UP

    Thanks. What about protein and fats? I read somewhere one doesn’t have to count calories on LCHF, what about the rest? Are there limits/guidelines?

    LCHF ....... PUTTING WEIGHT ON...... BG GOING UP

    Hi Thank you for your reply. I had read that one should aim at approx 30% of your intended normal diet when coming off the ND for the first week, with gradual increases up to “normal” lchf diet levels. “What is normal lchf level?” - Well I began Diabetes.co.uk low carb program and they...

    LCHF ....... PUTTING WEIGHT ON...... BG GOING UP

    Agreed but my point was that the amount of carbs consumed today, I don’t think was high. When I was on the ND I went from 15st 2lbs down to 12st 6lbs. I expected a weight increase when I came off NDand am working on halting the Wright increase. My main concern is the BG rising. Bringing the...

    LCHF ....... PUTTING WEIGHT ON...... BG GOING UP

    Thanks for your input No2D, My Weight was where I wanted to be, I just didn’t expect BG to rise so much. I have started running and this is helping to bring weight down a few pounds and as I increase my running, hopefully this will help maintain weight and contribute to lowering BG but I know...

    LCHF ....... PUTTING WEIGHT ON...... BG GOING UP

    Thanks for the reply, What does NF mean? Is there a link to Prof. Taylor’s work? I can relate to and expected an increase in weight after the ND but wasn’t anticipating the Elevated BG to this degree, which is my main concern. I am going to try and log carbs, protein and fats more accurately...

    LCHF ....... PUTTING WEIGHT ON...... BG GOING UP

    I agree, if the veggies are low starch/above ground in general as they are low carb. Potatoes are below ground veg and relatively high in starch and carbs so not eating a lot of that sort of veg

    LCHF ....... PUTTING WEIGHT ON...... BG GOING UP

    So I have to keep my protein down to what sort of level? Is there a general guideline/starting point to go for? What does “Dx” mean? My carbs have been kept low. So low, I haven’t logged them, e.g. I have one protein roll per day (less than 10g per roll). I have a protein meal replacement for...
