I concur with all the others, it is relatively easy to follow and there are only a few times I have felt the desire to NEED food and I have managed to resist. I think the idea of the diet is v low cal and nil fat hence i dont think diet soups would be applicable, the slimfast shakes are nice in...

Hi all, what on earth has happened here?!!! Just to post I am so so so pleased, after getting a bit despondent about this diet I have today had 2 x 6.5 and just had a 5.6 which to me is fantastic. This diet has really made me think about what I need to eat in the future and think, at this...

The hospital diabetes consultant told me yesterday that my body was in Ketosis mode so I believe that it is. I have just tested my ketones myself and yes there are ketones present but at a small measurement. Still on diet and weight dropping off but not much lowering in BG

Hi all, been to hospital today for one of my consultant appointments, took my urine sample and were concerned that there were ketones in it. I was totally honest with them about problems I had before Christmas and the Newcastle diet, they were behind me 100% and told me to come back on March...

Yes, 2 great minds that cant put a link in !!! LOL

The diet is basically 3 slimfast type shakes a day made with water plus 250g of non starchy vegetabeles a day, this equates t0 800 kcal a day, nothing else, i know it sounds tough but its OK once you get used to it also 3 litres of fluid a day, non sugar type so water, black coffee, diet drinks...

Hi all, Just been to the gym again today, come back and I am a 10.1, very disappointed. I started diet on 1st January and have stuck to it religiously. After my initial lowering, they have stayed around the 7 mark. Did a 15.75 mile walk yesterday with my doggy and it drop to 6.7. I am finding...

Geordie, carbs will always send BG up, it depends in what form you eat them. If you eat plain white bread it will shoot up and straight back down again therefore providing you with no energy. If you have Burgen Soya and linseed oil (v nice) it will give you a very very steady rise and fall...

TBH Geordie I would ease back slightly on the exercise, you aren't taking in a lot of energy, I have had a couple of dizzy spells after standing up too quickly which I dont normally get, i would hate you to have a dizzy spell whilst biking back from work. I dont think there is any 'normal'...

Well done Geordie, I take it your on afternoons then? I got week off which makes it doubly difficult with all those kids snacks around the house, havent cracked yet though. I concur with Geordie, you are at risk of running a hypo if you dont at least ease back on your meds and you dont want one...

Geordie, steady on the herb dressing, I presume there is some olive oil or oil of some description in there, remember no fat whatsoever. Now go to the naughty step!! Good idea though mate, you are right, mozza's salad always tastes better, try those stirfries though from ASDA. Just a small...

Well done to all, lets keep the momentum. Went to gym today first time in ages, expected my BG to be quite low but I tested when I got home and came in at 8.5, which is the highest its been for a number of days now. Bluehils, I concur with Geordie, give some of your money to Mr T's for the...

Thanks for that beancounter, went for the easy option though, ready made one from asda, on offer at 3 for £2.50, exactly 250g! Sat with the family whilst they had their roast chicken dinner! The slimfast must have made with water, remember no dairy products whatsoever. Thats a fantastic reading...

Hi all,just had my dinner time shake, it was fantastic...especially when I took the kids to the chip shop for their Saturday treat. As far as the 600/800 kcal discussion is concerned, i have seen both written on official paperwork from Newcastle University however I am not too concerned - I...

Hi all, Still keeping at it, really pleased so far how non difficult it has been (woouldnt say easy!). I am on nights and the smell of the other lads friday night kebabs was a killer in the office!! Not done any additional exercise but starting at the gym on Monday, Geordie - if you dont mind me...
