I revisited ND in October and shed another half stone. However, I overindulged in November & December (60th birthday & Christmas get-togethers) and put it back on plus a bit more by New Year. Recently I have tried 16:8 and am very gently losing the odd pound here & there, but nothing remarkable...

Just back after 10 days away in the caravan. Plenty of barbequed meat & salads with mayo. Some sauted potatoes too. G&T's and wine featured more than normal as well and the weight this morning was... drum roll.... The same as the day I went away! Yay! Result.:woot: Monitored BG readings while...

Other, less sugary and more nutritionally balanced replacements are available I used Exante products. Others have used Shake that Weight. See this thread for the experience of people following a Newcastle Diet earlier this year. Good luck.

Oh yessss!

Well, the carb content was significantly more than I had eaten in over 3 months ... and significantly more than I intend to eat in the future.

That a meal like that did not spike me into double figures, which it almost certainly would have done previously. Secondly I don't think it was too bad a time for recovery to more "normal" levels.

We took our young son to Pizza Express yesterday for a treat (a year since we last went). Prior to going I was studying the menu online and planned a low-carb salad-type main course but in the end I decided to try a pizza and monitor the results - purely in the interests of science, of course...

I can understand that ... and I will probably do the same once I have lost a little more and ensured my BG levels are stable. I am only a few months in to this after all, compared to some of you who have been following this pattern for significantly longer.

I think your last paragraph sums up my personal concerns too. One day at a time I think. 30 years will take me to just short of 90, so that'll do me! :rolleyes:

Well done @Steve50 . See you on the "other side" ;)

@Steve50 Massive congratulations. I know you had a minor setback in the last few weeks but have sorted out a solution that works for you ... the results are fantastic. I know that big internal & external grin feeling as you walked out from your appointment - the same as mine a couple of days...

This thread that started back in March shares the experiences of several of us who have undertaken Newcastle Diets with quite some success. It does now run to a lot of pages but a skim read will reveal a wealth of useful information as well as experiences of passing through phases you are likely...

Already migrated to LCHF 4 weeks ago. It took a few weeks for my body to settle into the new style of eating, but the weight loss has restarted again and the BG readings improving too. This is my longer-term strategy and when I reach a suitable weight and A1c reading I will gradually adjust my...

Exactly what I suggested the GP does to any of his diabetic patients in general. I praised the forum to high heaven and how it offered responsible advice & support for all types of diabetes sufferers.

Thanks...hope you get a similar result on Friday.
