hi Cath,I found it very hard with S.W. every week put more weight on, first group, got asked not to come any more, the class thought I was a joke! all in all joined 4 different groups over 10 years. started at 11st weighed 15 in October.
it was only when I found this site I found out about carbs and proteins,started the Newcastle diet in oct and lost the first weight in 10 years.as a` t2` this is the first time in such a long time I have felt well.

hi ladies i was thinking myself of re joining s.w. very glad i have seen these posts, what is the Newcastle diet please?

have a look at the Newcastle diet threads ,its a study taken from Newcastle uni , using very low calorie shakes for 11 days then 1 low carb meal added,daily for aprox 12 weeks.
its supposed to reverse type 2 diabetes, I have been on it since 31 of October and lost 2 st so far ,also not on any medication now, and blood sugars now within normal ranges, so its working for me, it does not work for everyone that's for sure.

Hi Cath,

I too feel the same about fruit and carbs so was looking at slimming world 'orignal' days which are essentially high protein, reduced carb low fat. I was going to look if they do any plans for diabetics, does anyone know if they do?
