newcastle diet

Recently diagnosed with Type 2 and new to this forum so I am really sorry if I ask something already covered, but we are just getting our head around all this. After reading "fast 800" and "The 8 week Blood Sugar diet" we were decided to follow Michael Mosley's approach with food. However, after...

I've had some in the 'blue forum' saying bad things about Low Carb. Mostly from those who advocate the 'Newcastle Diet' as you would expect. But while we know that Low Carb doesn't have to be calorie restricted in any way for it to reduce BG (and weight in the majority of cases), the 'Newcastle...

Admitted to hospital for an unrelated (I think) issue Sat a week ago. Surgery a couple of years ago and follow ups with blood tests, no-one has ever said I had high blood sugar. Last Sunday they said 18 mmol/l. I had heard about the Newcastle diet, found Jason Fung, this forum and...

Evening All - new to this website and in particular the forum so please be gentle with me!!! Took me half hour to figure out how to ask a question. So having seen the Newcastle Diet mentioned on BBC News in relation to NHS, I got very excited - looked into it, bought Prof Roy Taylor's book...

Hi, guys, I'm new here and have just started the Newcastle diet (I'm on day 2) I have a question though that I can't seem to find the answer to online. Am I allowed to drink squash whilst on the plan, I don't really like the taste of plain water so I've been adding sugar-free/or low sugar orange...

Hi everyone, so I was diagnosed in March, 23 years old, 5ft 9, i weighed 18 stone 4.5 Lbs....I have now lost 2 stone since diagnosis. I follow slimmingworld which has been great. For the last 5-6 weeks my blood sugars have been in normal range, I usually am between a 4 and 5.3 mmol fasting, and...

I am 49 and I have always exercised. I just started the Newcastle Diet in an attempt to finally get on top of my type 2 diabetes. I am concerned that if I really go for it I am going to burn off a lot of calories at once and this might be dangerous. My current plan is to stick to t'ai chi and...

Type 2 diabetic for around 20 years with poor control. Keeping this diary to keep me honest. Doctor is not supportive so need hard evidence to sway him. Nutrition: Syntha-6 protein shakes (149 calories x 3 daily), skimmed milk, decaf coffee, 2L water and non-starchy veg. Diabetes meds: Humulin...

I have been having a think about how to tackle visceral fat. I have been looking at the Newcastle Diet, and wondering whether I could do that. My main issue with it is not the calorie restriction, but the idea of shakes, which makes me want to hurl just thinking about them - I like real food...

The Newcastle diet that helps reverse Typ2Diabetes for some people. Is getting a LOT of press - some of it good - some of it bad. As I was newly diagnosed in November 2017 I am wondering what the general thoughts are about this? Does it work? Do you know anyone who has made it work. Or is...

So as you might know or see from my signature I was diagnosed about 10months ago with a HBA1c of 95. No symptoms that I was aware of or recognised. After some good work with LCHF diet I got my HBA1C down to 44 in 8 weeks - boy was I strict. But then over the following weeks my numbers came up...

I have read that the Newcastle Diet (ND) can reverse diabetes after 8 weeks of a low-carb and low-calorie diet based on liquid meal-replacement shakes and green vegetables. The shakes used were OptiFast and the shake part of the Cambridge Diet. Tesco and ASDA in UK sell meal replacements...

So I have been thinking about it for a while, and the window of opportunity opened so I have dived in and am going to try my best at my first attempt of the Newcastle diet. I intend to use shakes and supplement the three meals with the prescribed green veg. I started this morning and had one...

Hi all, I am considering a meal replacement shake for my voyage into the ND. Potentially - I have never been less sure of anything in my life! I like the idea of meal replacement shakes for many reasons, I dislike the ones used in the study because 20g of carbs per shake, particularly in the...

There is a lot of activity on the forum around the Newcastle diet, in particular a thread containing a video by Roy Taylor himself saying he will be presenting some of his data from the large scale trial this December. Exciting stuff it seems. My question here is about people who tried the ND...

Hi everyone, I thought id take the time to introduce myself and give a little background on me. I’m 30 years old from Cumbria and was diagnosed with type 2 this year. I was at an impromptu health check at work which showed a blood glucose level of 12 mmol the nurse was worried to say the least...

I am going to start the Newcastle diet shortly after my birthday in a couple of weeks. I have read up on it extensively and have bought the shakes from shakemyweight.com as these are what came up when I googled optifast. I planned to take 3 a day with then 200 cals worth of non-starchy veg as in...

Hi there! I have just started the Newcastle diet after getting approval from my GP and Optifast on Prescription. Anybody else? Thought it may be good to share the ride with anyone else in a similar position. I am on day 10 and really getting in to the swing of things. I have lost 7.2 kg and BG...

I wonder if any one can help me understand my self administered test. Background I was diagnosed with type 2 30 months ago wiht an hba1c of 64. I was offered metformin but chose the newcastle diet first. Blood glucose on first day was 13.5 it had dropped below 5.5 within 7 days. I lost 3 stone...
