Some clarifications on the ND guide (http://www.ncl.ac.uk/magres/research/diabetes/documents/StudyRecipes.pdf)
Some general questions for others of you who did this:
Some clarifications on the ND guide (http://www.ncl.ac.uk/magres/research/diabetes/documents/StudyRecipes.pdf)
- The diet states – “No dairy products (even full skimmed milk!)” – How can you do the meal replacement shakes without the milk …. Please don’t tell me you need to use water instead of milk?
- The diet states: “Eat up to 3 portions of non-starchy vegetables each day (total of 250g each day) (for fibre content) – this will provide another 200 calories” ….. – Does this mean 750g Total throughout the day ….. or does it mean 250g total ? ….. I mean I have tried putting some veg on a scale and 250g is nothing more than a stem of broccoli!
- The diet states: “Vegetables allowed (at least 240g per day ~ i.e. 3 portions per day)” – I love some of the veg on this list. For example Sprouts. I have a 500g bag of sprouts which has 200kcal on the label. The “g” is misleading …. The same can be said for the mixed peppers ….. is there something I am just not picking up on ?
Some general questions for others of you who did this:
- Can you exercise and if so how much ? - The wife thinks I should have increased calorie intake because I do T25 each day (look it up on youtube) you think this is appropriate ?
- Can you drink coffee ?
- Can you drink more water than the prescribed 3 litres of water ?
