[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1059034, member: 41816"] In many ways, going cold turkey, fasting, severe deprivation, is a heck of a lot easier than less extreme, slower, options. I can understand, because when my reactive hypoglycaemia was at its worst, i was the archetypal binge eater - glutting on carbs, then starving till my control failed, and i fell into the next binge. For exactly that reason, i am very wary of the ND, but i appreciate the appeal, and recognise it works for some of us. Besides, you can do anything for 8 weeks, can't you? I think the ND offers a lot of very attractive options; the promise of a quick fix, a set timescale, a 'proven' formula, the hope of reversal, a sense of deprivation=earning the goal. In addition, if people test their bg, they get to see those lovely numbers going down to 'normal' levels. That's the best motivation of all. All of those work together to help to stay on the programme. From what several people have posted on the forum, the real struggle starts when the ND ends. [/QUOTE]
