[QUOTE="Reama, post: 823075, member: 167996"] I guess this counts as the Newcastle diet...planning to implement it starting tomorrow, using beans and nonstarchy vegs in lieu of the shakes. The plan is, 2 cups of beans a day (about 480 calories) plus nonstarchy vegs to bring it up to around 600 calories, though won't be overly vigilent if it goes higher, like to 700 as long as it's with nonstarchy vegs. The reason for this is, I don't want to lose the ability to digest real food, and I want to keep the fiber intake up without resorting to laxatives. Also, I'm hoping it'll ease the transition to higher calorie intake when I'm done. Plenty of water, with all these beans. I'm also hoping it'll stave off the hunger pangs. I tried a more traditional Newcastle diet a little earlier, and was suddenly derailed by overwhelming sense of starvation! I'm in the category of thin on the outside, fat on the inside, as documented by an abd. ultrasound that showed fatty liver changes. I'm 5'1'' and 94 pounds, and do have a bit of a pot belly, though the rest of me is quite thin, and am small-boned. I was originally diagnosed as a LADA about 10 years ago, but repeated tests of pancreatic autoantibodies have been negative, plus the above scan, plus having gotten myself off insulin by converting to a vegan diet minus the refined carbs some years ago. I'm nervous about starting this and am so afraid I'll disappoint myself again by not staying firm and disciplined. My plan is to post regularly (and read others' postings) daily to help keep myself on track. Anyone else tried anything like this, with beans? How did it work? Thanks for reading, Reama [/QUOTE]
