Newcastle diet update day 12

[Muzzer]

day 12
Weight loss slowed down considerably after my initial 9lb loss in the first week.
But steady away, surely but slowly it is continuing to fall.
I had one day where my weight increased by half a pound.

Now am 14st 4 (from 15st 2lb)
Fasting BS was 6.6 this morning but off ALL meds for a week now
Blood pressure completely normal

You are doing brilliantly - med free - amazing.

Are you getting closer to your ideal weight now? From what I have read only, never tried this, if you are - then the weight loss isn't such an issue because you are trying to get to that pancreatic fat (I think on day 12 you are well through the liver fat) so the next few weeks will be about fat in the cells and that all important pancreatic fat.

Good luck.

Thanks fleegle and freema
It's great to receive encouragement.
I have set a target of 12st 8lbs which is lower than my ideal weight but not much lower. I realise when I complete this 8 week diet and then eat a low carb normal healthy diet, I will put some weight back on due to fluids and so I won't be over weight when I do.
Reading up on this diet one has to lose minimum 15% of your original start weight so 12st 8lbs is the target, anything less will increase chances of getting rid of the visceral fats around the pancreas and liver.
I hit their expected target for the first week of between 4 and 10 lbs

I am now 14st 2.75lbs so hoping the downward trend continues.

Does anybody know if Quorn can be eaten on this Newcastle diet?
