Thanks a lot Ivenoidea and Geordie90 for those great words of encouragement. I didn't realise the bg's I was getting were any good, but now thanks to you both I realise they are. Ivenoidea, I'd go for the bangers and creamy mash n onion gravy, cos that sounds gorgeous (I love sausages lol), the...

I'm at week five now and am thinking the same, but have so far resisted. The only thing I feel I must confess is that I have one cup of tea nearly everyday with a few drops of milk, cos I can't stand black tea. But, if you consider I'm only consuming upto 600 Kcals a day other than this I...

Hi everyone Well done crouching and thankyou for sharing that with us. That is just what I needed to read after my day 21 results to give me the faith to carry on. Here they are: Day 21 FBG 5.9 :( Weight 13st 11lbs (starting weight 15st 1lbs) Did my bg just before me shake at tea time this...

Thank you Geordie and Ivenoidea for those wise words. I do as much exercise as I can although I'm not a member of a gym, I do have three or more 40 minute brisk walks every week. I'm waiting for the summer, lol, so I can play on the trampoline with my youngest. Day 17 FBG 5.2 Weight...

Bearing in mind it was about 1:30pm on day 9 of the diet just before I had my shake I was unsure what the reading would be. My BG then was 4.7 (is that...

Hi all just a quick update tonight, want to watch Spartacus Vengence Finale again in a few mins. Managed to survive Day 3 of the ND. The first Sunday where I could not have a roast dinner (and my lovely wife decided to cook a joint of Ham :(). Only 7 more of those to negotiate now. Watching the...

Hi all and thanks again LouiseB for your very helpful answers. I suppose I should be thinking along the same lines as you about the diabetes. There is absolutely no history of diabetes in my family, I guess I have got it because of all the deep fried food I have eaten over the past few years and...

Thank you very much LouiseB for replying and for your very helpful answers. Regarding the sweetex in tea or coffee, I had tried both a black Tea and coffee with a sweetex before your reply, lol. Ironically I found I don't like black tea or coffee so I won't be having any more for the next 55...

Hi everyone, this is my first ever post. I have been reading the various threads about the Newcastle diet for a while now and came upon them purely by accident when googling "Newcastle Diet". I was recently diagnosed with type 2 in October 2011. Since then it has been my mission to try and rid...
