I decided to go low calorie, and then use the Newcastle diet, rather than LCHF.
Mainly as I wanted to be able to eat anything after reversing my diabetes, (which I did) as I am out a lot, and wanted to be able to simply buy and eat anywhere, rather than eating LCHF for life, which can prove difficult if there is no one selling it to me.
Hi douglas99 - I have read a few of your posts and they are really interesting.
So in your opinion the LCHF diet maintains BG but does not allow people on it to deviate no matter what they get their BG down to. Where as the Newcastle diet specifically does the same thing but allows almost freedom to eat as you want. One assumes not like before or you would end up back at square one in both cases.
Is there a lot of evidence to support that. I know you have had a superb outcome which in itself is evidence but I wonder whether any LCHF diet have had a similar experience.
I ask because I have considered the Newcastle diet. I have weight I could lose which is coming off nicely on the LCHF diet and my BG is going down nicely I think without any meds thus far.
I thought for the Newcastle diet you needed the dehydrated meals to achieve it? Really interested because although I am quite satisfied on the LCHF and see it now as a way of life - I would like to be able to eat a Christmas dinner, have an occasional piece of birthday cake, have a croissant with jam on occasion when on holiday and like you - I have to eat out a lot because of work so trying to figure out what to do for the best?
